I Am A Witness
Award: Yellow Pencil
Yellow Pencil / Digital Marketing / Use of Social Media / 2016
If a witness speaks up when they see bullying, 60 percent of the time that bullying stops within 10 seconds. So we created a tool to stop bullying: an emoji.
The emoji, which is now on every iPhone and Android phone, is a way of combating not just bullying but also any apprehension of stepping in witnesses may be feeling. A symbol can be a universal message of “I don’t stand for this.” And it can be accessed with the touch of a finger.
