The Campaign

Korea Wildlife Management Association planned on executing a campaign that prevents wildlife from animal poaching. However, they have a limited small budget and concerns lied in the fact that utilizing mass media is too expensive. We have to discover new way to communicate with our target within their daily lives. So, we made a special box tape for wildlife. Because, courier services are so widely used in Korea that each person receives an average of 2.5 courier boxes a week, and each box has tape that needs to be cut. We wanted to raise awareness about animal poaching every time a person cut that tape. Moreover, we inserted a QR code to make people be part of a petition that opposes poaching and learn more information about this campaign. To make people use this tape, we sent it to post offices, courier services, convenience stores and a variety of places for free. Boxes sealed with this tape went throughout the country. 38,720 people signed to prevent poaching and the number of visitors to homepage increased by 8.2 times. Our campaign spread spontaneously via twitter, facebook and instagram and was also introduced through daily newspaper and TV news program.
