How do you engage NZ to take action against bullying? You let the bystanders influence the outcome. 

Ministry of Education, FCB, Blacksand, TVNZ

 

Challenge:

NZ has the second worst rate of bullying in the OECD for 5-9 year olds. The Ministry of Education wanted to improve understanding of bullying, but previous campaigns to empower victims had failed. Attention is like oxygen for bullies.  

Brief:

Motivate parents, whanau and communities to engage their children with Oat the Goat and give them the confidence and the language to take action against bullying.

Insight:

Bullies love an audience and apathetic bystanders had unwittingly become a compliant audience to a bullies power play. 

Strategy:

Command national attention and cut-through by using one of the most powerful and trusted storytelling platforms to influence NZ at bed-time and beyond. Give power to the bystanders and educate them how to intervene.
