An advertising campaign, besides its sales function, can also serve a social function – drawing attention to an important problem, forcing reflection, or sparking discussion. We looked at pro-environmental activities prepared by WWF.

Social advertising in the service of ecology

Recently, society's environmental awareness has been growing significantly, and the problem of Earth's pollution is increasingly being raised in the media. Social ads dealing with ecology are often drastic, but such images stay in the imagination for a long time.

Summary

The social function of advertising allows organizations such as WWF to draw attention to the climate crisis and the pollution of the planet. The creations presented here not only promote ecological attitudes, but also strongly affect the emotions of audiences – from shock to reflection. This is proof that in marketing communication, not only the sales message matters, but also building responsibility.

For years, WWF has used moving visualizations to encourage changes in habits. Although many of these campaigns were created several years ago, their message remains relevant – especially in the face of a growing number of natural disasters and record temperatures.
