Launching a global movement

In 2011, the world’s population reached 7 billion. This unique moment in human history has implications for sustainability, urbanization, and public health. Working with the United Nations Population Fund, Ultravirgo created an integrated communications campaign to raise awareness of this milestone and engage people everywhere to improve quality of life for themselves and others. Our approach focuses on solutions rather than challenges. We helped develop a robust online web site that promotes engagement by encouraging people to submit personal stories of empowerment, enter a film competition, and review the population data. Our literature put a hopeful, human face to the milestone, while online and offline ads spread real-life inspiring stories. Within days of the campaign launch, awareness of the population milestone soared, and additional initiatives are underway to sustain the momentum and create a truly global movement focused on positive change for all humanity.
