The challenge was to launch the concept of Alternative Gifts in the UK. By making it fun, relevant and meaningful with many price points and gift cards, the concept became very successful and has been adopted by most other UK charities. I designed all their catalogues and advertising campaigns between 2005 - 2009
This very successful DM pack demonstrated a 'Fog catcher' in Nepal and included a piece of netting used to collect the water - it was successful in re-engaging many supporters. I also came up with their virtual gift proposition 'SH2OP for Life' and many other successful campaigns.
