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

PAWS: Free Me

In order to increase adoption of animals, the Malaysian Animal Rehabilitation Center PAWS distributed these poster among vets. The posters featured tabs with numbers at the bottom. When pet owners tried to take the number, the entire’bar’ from the cage peels off. This action was very popular, PAWS had to replace the posters within a week with new bars.
