1. Re-thinking
We step back and think before we dive in, to find a different way to communicate our clients’ needs.
No Shop
Client: Friends of the Earth
The client asked for a poster to encourage people to stop shopping – and consider their consuming habits – for the UK’s first International No Shop Day (known as ‘Buy Nothing Day’ in the U.S.). Instead we fought fire with fire, using the language of shopping – sale signs, shopping bags, a ‘shop’ stripped of goods – to form a No Shop brand and turn consumerism on its head. No Shop was reported over twenty networks and newspapers and has since appeared in many books, magazines and exhibitions.
