Friends, a Non-profit organisation working to prevent bullying wanted to raise awareness among adults and parents. Almost half the kids being exposed to bullying, never tell an adult and over 40% of children have in some form experienced being bullied.
In order to make adults aware of this problem they needed to be exposed to the messages and notifications that are sent to children’s digital devices.
Based on the fact that Oceans vertical screens resembles a smartphone, the idea of using real text messages that children had received and post them on top of ads as notifications came to life.
The notification, often very brutal and hateful was followed by a message, saying this is a real message that a child has received from a bully.

“The winner of this year’s Grand Prix really interrupts your everyday routine where a delayed bus or a spilled coffee may seem like your biggest problem. We are brutally reminded that someone else’s everyday life is filled with “problems” of a completely different nature. The type that infiltrates and infects the lives of the vulnerable, without transparency and opportunity for help from parents and other adults”.
We take our hats off to this advertiser who, with his campaign, succeeds in the trick of creating ripples on the water far beyond his budget, where the conversation about cyberbullying was not long in coming. The results speak for themselves, where the adults’ knowledge of cyberbullying increased significantly and gave them important insights into the everyday lives of too many children”.
