    MUMBAI: Posterscope will be participating in Project Everyone – the brainchild of filmmaker and Comic Relief founder Richard Curtis, with an aim to share the UN sustainable development goals with seven billion people over seven days using powerful imagery and copy across an extensive range of platforms.

I have been overwhelmed by the response of brands, consumers and institutions alike to this initiative. Posterscope has been instrumental with getting out of home media owners on board to help us get our messages across, to really raise public awareness of the issue at hand. With their help, we have secured sites in the busiest areas of key cities around the world to visualise the global goals and what Project Everyone stands for.”

     

    Posterscope is joining forces with their media partners across the globe to supply advertising space to display the adverts, which have been designed by Curtis and raise awareness of the initiative. 

     

    They have engaged with 125 partners to date for the ad to be shown in 450 cities, around 28 different countries, in busy central locations with high footfall including CST station in India, Piccadilly Circus in London, Swanston Street in Melbourne, Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur and Times Square in New York.

     

    Posterscope global CEO Annie Rickard added, “It is a great opportunity to be involved in an initiative like Project Everyone. We are delighted to be able to capitalise on our media network and connections to help raise awareness around the issues at hand and hopefully, slowly but surely, change the way we live and the world we live in.”

     

    Posterscope group India Asia Pacific & managing director regional director Haresh Nayak said, “We are delighted to be part of this global social initiative, which highlights our global capabilities in the out of home domain, our ambient media offerings in India and our vision of reaching out to the connected consumer in a socially responsible and effective manner.”
