PARIS- TBWA\China has moved quickly to distance itself from a campaigncreated by TBWA\Paris, which attempts to depict how "the fight forhuman rights must go on" after the Beijing Olympics.
Similarly,Amnesty International’s global HQ in London has also disowned anyownership of the series of print ads, which took home a bronze from theCannes Lions advertising festival last month.
A TBWA spokesperson said: "Neither TBWA\International nor TBWA\Chinahad involvement or prior knowledge of the development of this campaign.TBWA\International is a non-political organisation. Our offices inChina have responsibly contributed to the development of China’sadvertising and marketing industry for more than 12 years. TBWA\Chinais proud that Beijing is hosting the Olympic Games in August andremains committed to supporting its success. Indeed their award-winningwork fundamentally reflects not only the Chinese people’s passion forthe summer Games, but TBWA\China’s too."
Meanwhile, aspokesperson from Amnesty pointed out that while local Amnesty officesare responsible for their own campaigns, the NGO’s global HQ did notapprove the drive. "There were discussions about the creation of theads, but this is not an Amnesty campaign nor a campaign we areendorsing or disseminating," said the spokesperson, who declined tocomment on whether the organisation had seen the ads before theirlaunch.
According to sources, Amnesty France’s office was moreinvolved in the campaign. However, the issue is further complicated bythe website address - Amnesty.com - which is used on the ads. Thataddress is non-existent; Amnesty’s website is located at amnesty.org.
