A campaign built around participation
Making copyright awareness visible, understandable and memorable.
Implemented across Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, the programme reached students and educators through an energetic mix of theatre, flash mobs, puppet shows, school activities and articles explaining the consequences of counterfeit books.
By replacing a purely instructional message with live storytelling and creative engagement, the campaign helped communicate the value of authentic books and respect for authors’ intellectual property.
International recognition: Oxford University Press Pakistan received the Publishers Association Copyright Protection Award at the London Book Fair in 2014. Mediators was also named a finalist in the PR News Nonprofit PR Awards’ Social Responsibility category for the campaign.
