The Brief

Millions of children all over India are forced into child labour and the numbers are still climbing. Cry.Org, wanted people to be aware of this dire situation and help stop the exploitation.

Creative Execution

All hiring process begins with a simple resume. Cry.Org sent out 2,000 ‘fake’ resumes to CEOs, MDs, GMs, and HR Directors of labour-intensive industries. Reading the resume soon revealed the shocking truth of how a little worker girl was exploited. Her application was denied, of course. But that was the whole idea.

Describe the creative solution to the brief/objective.

It’s easy to highlight this situation to the masses. But that would be missing the point. Truth is, not everyone can make a positive change. People in the position to hire are the ones with the power to prevent child exploitation. By targeting these professionals, Cry.Org is one step closer to meeting its objective.

Results

The low-cost direct campaign drove the average time spent on Cry.org up by 540%. In addition to a spike in site traffic, sign-ups for the Corporate Sponsorship Programme went up by 36%.
