For IOM Montenegro, we ran a two-phase campaign against labour exploitation: from video stories and the Museum of Broken Promises in the squares of Podgorica and Bar to billboards, a flyer in four languages and a video featuring five institutions.

Two phases

One word changes the perspective

The first phase addressed the message to the individual: tiče te se (it concerns you). In the second, five institutions that handle reports voiced the same message: tiče nas se (it concerns us). Instead of dramatising the victim, the main visual became a sentence.

First phase banner: Tiče te se.
