The best of non-profit advertising and marketing for social causes

Falling Whistles

I’m a big fan of taking the symbols of war, violence, and hate and transforming them into something positive, which is something this campaign does in spades…

“Falling Whistles gives a small window into our world’s largest war. Originally just a journal written about boys sent to the frontlines of war armed with only a whistle, readers forwarded it with the same kind of urgency in which it was written and demanded to know – what can we do? The Falling Whistles campaign launched with a simple response - make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace in Congo. Read the story and buy the whistle. Proceeds will help restore the lives of war-affected kids”
