TRACE

CREATIVE CONSCIENCE AWARD WINNER

Modern slavery is a problem we don’t hear about often but many of us are aware that it does exist in some areas of the modern world. However, most people don’t know how much slavery contributes to our lives through the products we consume on a daily basis. Also, due to the complexity of the supply chain, brands themselves do not know where all of their materials and resources come from which is why many do not have any kind of ethical certification on their goods.

 

 

Trace is a campaign concept which seeks to encourage the consumer to question their favourite brands and products to investigate their supply chains and provide evidence that they are not endorsing slave labour.

The organisation is named ‘Trace’ which refers to the key aim of the campaign, to find and remove all traces of slavery from the products we buy on a daily basis. The text logo has a fingerprint texture applied to it to make a personal link to the people around the world who are being used and exploited as slaves.

To kick start the campaign, ambassadors from the organisation would go out and start a guerrilla sticker campaign, in which they would apply fingerprint stickers onto popular branded products that do not have any kind of ethical certification. Each finger print would link back to a real-life story of modern slavery that is related to the product itself, which customers could find on the Trace website.
