Plan


Digital support campaign

Girl4President

Girls continue to be the single most excluded group in the world. Plan International needed a powerful campaign to illustrate mass support globally for girls’ rights issues that would influence world leaders setting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for the next 15 years. With little production and media budget the campaign needed to be owned and activated across all the local markets.

Our strategy was to empower the very girls affected by gender based issues to deliver the campaign, and in doing so put pressure on their leaders and decision makers to influence the UN and SDGs. This wasn’t about one piece of cut-through content but about local grass-roots activation and self-expression, centred on one single distinctive idea and vision: unlocking the power of girls.

The campaign included a video that harnessed co-operation not just between agency and client, but girls from around the globe, each adding their own voice to the powerful narrative.

The film features the poetry of Keisha Thompson, a young British writer, whose words travel the globe and act as the voice of disenfranchised, undervalued young women everywhere - we hear from 13 different girls, from eight different countries.

Results

The campaign received over a million ‘votes’ (expressions of support) and reached over 29 million people across the globe. The video alone received over 790,000 views. And most importantly, it reached its objective of raising the issue of Girls’ Rights’ at the UN. Today it is the foremost issue on the development agenda across global NGOs.
