| UNICEF Tune Into Me Campaign Strikes Chord with PM! |

Generally, people assume that parents and adults will take care of children. It’s only human to come to the aid of children when there’s a need but without a cause or issue, acknowledging and protecting children’s rights will not be at the top of one’s mind. This success of this campaign by Leo Burnett/ Arc Worldwide/ Alpha245 relied heavily on the support of the Malaysian mass media, to make every individual in the country realize children have rights and it’s our role to ensure their rights are protected. The agency focused on Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), i.e. “Every Child has the Right to be Heard” which inspired the “Tune In To Me” campaign. By convincing the media to give children a channel to express themselves, they led the public to realize that Children’s Rights exist and upholding them is as simple as listening to their views. This campaign paved the way for children to take over the airwaves: they anchored the news, appeared on talkshows and hijacked radio programmes. Even the Prime Minister of Malaysia made time, threw a tea-party and had a tête-à-tête with the children. The campaign exceeded its goal and generated more than RM6 million worth of Advertising Value Equivalent in media publicity. The Malaysian government also indicated it is lifting one of its reservations on the CRC; Article 13, which guarantees a child’s right to expression. ![]() CREDITS Client: UNICEF Malaysia Title: Title: Tune Into Me Unicef Representative to Malaysia: Youssouf Oomar Communication Specialist: Indra Kumari Nadchatram Agency: Leo Burnett/ Arc Worldwide/ Alpha245 Global Brand Director: Terence Ooi Brand Executive: Clarissa Ng Creative Directors: Valerie Chen, Theresa Tsang Copywriters: Gauri Dalvi, Sheikh Azraai, Benjamin Chen, Nik Faraliza Art Directors: Phianphon Sitichaidecha, Koh Siok Yee Designers: Lo Yew Joe, Foo Peng Chong Interactive Project Managers: Cheok Kay Kuan, Hou Kin Sang Interactive Executive: Azuin Rahman Web Designer: Ilsa Roslan AV Producer: Michele Fung PR Executive: Chong Huey Meim |
