L’asbl switch a été super réactive, elle s’est adaptée à notre réalité et nos spécificités : une collaboration comme on en rêve ! Le résultat nous a enchanté : notre capsule vidéo a dépassé nos attentes : elle est belle, pertinente et super créative ! Elle contribue au quotidien à l’image positive de notre association.

As a first step, Switch started by working with DG Environment on a three-year communication strategy. We teamed up to redefine the objectives, the messages, the communication axes and then translate them into a concrete action plan.
This strategy includes two axes: the main strategic axis was to address the companies by inviting them to be more accountable and involved and highlighting the fact that the consumer will see this proactive stance as something positive. As for consumers, communication is based on the recognition of the shared responsibility of public authorities, companies and consumers in going beyond a discourse that is solely based on individual actions.
The campaign unfolded in three phases to the two audiences. A ‘hooking phase’ was followed by an awareness phase and then a mobilisation phase.
For budgetary constraints, the strategy was mainly web-focused. The campaign website served as the meeting point for these different audiences. The various tools developed during the three stages all pointed in the website’s direction.

The campaign launch began with the broadcasting of a series of videos aimed at drawing attention to the campaign by promoting bio-empathy (emotional lever) and interest in biodiversity (rational lever). The videos highlight the ecosystem services provided by biodiversity in an offbeat way.
In a second phase, we created 5 informative animated videos aiming to foster the understanding of our shared responsibility in protecting biodiversity. The idea here was to get the public to make a connection between everyday consumer products and the consequences they can have on biodiversity.
The third and final phase highlighted the initiatives taken by Belgian companies pioneering in biodiversity. The aim was to encourage other companies to follow suit and to get consumers to stimulate the commitments made by these companies.
The Switch team understood our messages and our expectations and was able to turn them into a reality. They gave us the right tools, quality work and

We faced a huge challenge as soon as the project started: introducing a young audience to a complex theme – social protection – in a school context. We suggested developping a serious game in the form of a simple role-playing game that would get the user to step into the shoes of a head of state in an imaginary country.

We needed to go beyond fiction by portraying concrete realities (policies and their impact on populations). Parallel to the game, we made a 26-minute documentary shot in 3 different contexts: Belgium, Bolivia and Senegal.
In order to help teachers during the facilitation process, we designed a guide that explains the stages of the game and provides additional content allowing the teacher to complete the information.
The device was distributed as part of CNCD-11.11.11’s educational package on Social Protection during the 2015-2016 school year. Many events were held by regional leaders as part of the campaign. Finally, the game was evaluated by the Review Committee of “Annoncer la Couleur”. Their feedback on the tool’s educational value was extremely positive.
