Implementation |
|
|
After the terror attack last summer there was a great need to expres sympathy and compassion. People had a need to stand together and show their disgust for the violence. This lead to the idea about the Join Hands-campaign which was published Saturday 23 July 17:30: http://www.vg.no/nyheter/innenriks/oslobomben/lenke.php
• Timing was important and the idea was executed in a few hours less than 24 hours after the terror attacks.
• We wanted to address people’s need to show solidarity after the gruesome attacks.
• Iterative development process: We launched something we knew was incomplete and added functions regularly over the next few
• hours and days (the option to choose country, translations for a growing number of languages, social media sharing etc.)
• The campaign was covered by a wide range of international online and print newspapers.
