Don’t You Forget About Me

on August 11, 2007 by Martina Comments

Youtube tries to make itself useful not only to individual exhibitionists and brands seeking some Web 2.0 attention, but also to charity organizations that can benefit as well from massive exposure. Last week the channel DontYouForgetAboutMe has been launched in the UK, with the goal of bringing the plight of missing children to a wider and younger audience. The channel has been set up by the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), in collaboration with the Find Madeleine Campaign and with the support of Youtube. Interesting to point out, it’s not possible to copy & embedd the code of any of the videos uploaded by the user DontYouForgetAboutMe.

Support the Food Bank

Being directly involved into some Food Bank initiatives I’m happy to share this campaign by FCB Lisbon. It’s from last year, but I don’t think that it really matters. It’s a very good charity campaign which shows how it’s important to think out of the box and find the right place to deliver the message. Millions of people repeat this gesture everyday.
