A: The campaign is for an NGO, hence the budget was very low. Giving us a very limited opportunity towards media spend. B: Keeping this in mind we decided to connect with the audience directly through a kite during the festival. The idea made more sense since the kite enthusiasts make a natural endeavor of cutting kites and collecting them during the festival. Making the process of reaching out our message easy.
We designed kites that looked like the endangered birds and flew them with soft threads. Once our kites were cut, kite enthusiasts read the message, which asked them to avoid flying kites during the hours when birds are most active: 5 to 7 mornings and evenings. The kites were flown right through the 5-day Uttarayan festival ensuring more and more kite enthusiasts read our message.
Kite enthusiasts who religiously fly kites during the Uttarayan Festival.
The number of injuries dropped by over 68% as compared to 2014. The activity was covered by radio channels who also spoke about how birds get injured. School and college students took part in rallies all over the city to build awareness. Many college students even took a pledge to avoid flying kites during the hours when birds are most active in the sky, specifically, 5 to 7 mornings and evenings.
