The Wold Needs More


Each year the United Nations commemorates World Humanitarian Day on August 19th to honor the nongovernmental organizations that provided aid during crises. In 2013, we had the opportunity to spread the word about WHD and help The UN raise money for their special day.

We came up with #TheWorldNeedsMore. Like altruistic alchemy, it turns words into money for specific causes at the UN. A brand sponsors a word and whenever it's said on social media, the brand donates $. On World Humanitarian Day we launched the world's first marketplace for words with a single question: What do you think the world needs more of?

This was a whole-agency effort at Leo Burnett NY (about 10 creatives). I contributed the original concept and messaging for various touchpoints throughout the campaign.
