Campaign: Cursing Parrots

WPP company:
Grey New York
Client:
UNICEF

Overview

A UN report revealed that one in four children across the world are exposed to domestic violence. Grey New York created a digital spot to support the launch of the report, featuring footage of real parrots repeating the phrases they’ve learn from living in violent households. The message is simple: if a parrot can remember what happens in an abusive home, imagine the effect it has on a child.
