What we do
We constantly gather first-rate, unique advertising campaigns from around the world to demonstrate the power of advertising when addressing social or environmental issues. Our belief : through the emotional charge it carries, advertising has an extraordinary power to change mentalities by accelerating understanding. Thus it breaks down social, generational and cultural barriers.
We widely showcase these campaigns through events, exhibitions and various initiatives in developed in partnership with a network of committed players in advertising, media and education.
Our actions ensure the visibility of the most creative, strong and striking communications campaigns in order to encourage production in these areas. By strengthening the scope of these messages, the association is investing in building a fairer, united and sustainable world.
