Fireworks from Aleppo
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Radio & Audio / Tactical Radio Advertising / 2017
To raise awareness towards the conflict in Aleppo, Syria we created a radio spot titled Fireworks from Aleppo. The spot is an acoustic recreation of a Danish New Year’s Eve using actual sounds of the bombardment of Aleppo, Syria. This was broadcasted in the days following New Year’s Eve. At first listeners think that they’re hearing a playback of the New Year’s Eve they experienced a few days ago, but after a while reality hits them. The voice over reveals the true nature of the horrible sounds and encourages people to donate to help secure the safety of civilians in Aleppo.
