Editor's Notes
- #5 How many people?
- #26 So we created a campaign, targeting boys – where we asked girls to impregnate their guy friends phones. So for an entire day – about 12 hours – you have this annoying baby who wakes you up at 6:30am, spits up on your shirt, and needs to be fed at lunchtime.
- #36 And we can do more. We can add street theatre. We’re talking about propositions and props that make the experience more intriguing and engaging for the public. Things that bring alive the complex problems and solutions that charities deal with every day. Creating something memorable, so that when we ask for a monthly gift we’re building on something – rather than starting from scratch. There is nothing new in this. But we have found that by enhancing the street experience for the potential donor we get better results.
- #38 Ustedes probablemente saben lo que UNICEF ha estado haciendo con SMS. El Hormiguero ha hablado de UNICEF en dos ocasiones, pidiendo a la gente a enviar un SMS donación de 1,2 euros. UNICEF ha recibido casi 500.000 donacions SMS. Eso es € 600.000 de los SMS.
