ARTS HELP BRINGS WORLD’S TO-DO LIST ALIVE WITH GLOBAL OUTDOOR CAMPAIGN

Arts Help, an award-winning non-profit that champions social change through art-centric solutions and delivers impactful programming covering the Sustainable Development Goals, have utilised its Arts Help Network – composed of the world’s leading billboard companies – Clear Channel UK, Lamar USA, Branded Cities Canada, Backlite Media and Prime Africa, to show their support for the World’s To-Do List.

The campaign spotlights the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined by the United Nations as the most pressing challenges to the earth and its people.

The collaboration showcases the Global Goals on digital OOH screens throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The aim is to rally enthusiasm and encourage governments, businesses, and concerned citizens to get to work achieving the ambitious objectives and the U.N. ‘s aggressive 2030 target date for stamping out the world’s most troubling issues.

Martin Corke, Chief Marketing Officer at Clear Channel UK, said: “We are delighted to lend our support to Arts Help and use our medium to help raise public awareness of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals in the UK. The campaign very much aligns with our own ‘to do list’ as we joined the UN Global Compact earlier this year and continue to focus our efforts on driving positive social and environmental impact as a Platform for Brands and a Platform for Good.”

The partnership embodies Arts Help and its media partners’ commitment to driving awareness of the daunting issues such as poverty and world hunger, quality healthcare, education, and economic opportunity, food and energy security and environmental protection. Arts Help’s media partners are making their space available to display the Global Goals campaign and message. Each of the 17 goals is expressed on colorful sticky notes. The Arts Help Network of sustainable OOH media owners will demonstrate their community spirit by donating the board space to display the notes between regularly scheduled paid messages.

Multiple companies – known as the Global Goals’ Business Avengers – are also doing their part by obscuring part of their marketing communications in favor of broadcasting the Worlds to Do List – and highlighting the action that they’re taking and pledge to take in pursuit of achieving the SDGs.
