Launching 7 Billion Actions
This week, we attended twin launch events for the 7 Billion Actions Campaign that we have been developing with The United Nations Population Fund. As you may or may not know, the global population will be hitting 7 billion on October 31, and the campaign aims not just to raise awareness of not just the population issues involved, but to highlight the efforts (big and small) that individuals and organizations have made to make the world a better place.<

As lead agency creative directing the campaign communications, our work has been featured throughout the campaign, including brochures, posters, brand guidelines, and a 24' banner that is up outside the main entrance to the UN headquarters until October 31. We are supremely proud to be part of such a momentous movement, and honored to be able to contribute to its success.
We wanted to include portraits of all 7 billion people on the banner, but the logistics didn't quite work out within our deadline, so there are "only" 400 here.

The website has been a broad collaboration throughout the development process. For example we worked with designers from IBM to develop the concept of the 7 Billion Stories component, created the IA wireframes, and worked with Luccaco who did the design and development.
