Sometimes the beauty of simplicity is all that’s needed to send a powerful message. This Cummings & Partners-created ambient campaign for Multiple Sclerosis of Australia carries the simple message, “Without your donation, research will stop.” That message was affixed to a glass box in which an actual person, dressed like a research scientist would sit, slumped over until a person placed a donation into a slot beneath him. He would then come to life and pretend to so experiments until he felt the money had “run out.” He would then slump over again until another donation was made. The effort brought in about $100 per hour and the organization plans to continue the effort.
