FCB Toronto found an eye-grabbing way to raise awareness for domestic violence charity Oaith Shelter this holiday season, with a startling window display that has shoppers stopped in their tracks.
“The Window Project” is based around the incident that rates of domestic violence rise around the holidays by around 30 percent. So FCB Toronto created a startling window display, depicting a scene of domestic violence around the holiday dinner table. Viewers are given the opportunity to temporarily stop the violence by texting the number indicated and donating, which resets a clock to 60 seconds that when it reaches zero will start the scene all over again. Not surprisingly, the display has attracted its fair share of attention.
“The holidays can be a confusing time for women in abusive relationships, especially when there are children involved,” Charlene Catchpole, chair of the OAITH board of directors, told Adweek, adding that many “put on a good face and project an image of stability to keep the holidays a happy time. Our hope is that this campaign will break the lingering culture of silence that exists around violence against women.”
“This effort gives every person the opportunity to personally witness the power one donation can make,” FCB Toronto chief creative officer Jon Flannery added.
