Spina's Civil Voices: Fundraising campaign created for the Pope's visit to Germany
A large-scale fundraising campaign, launched in conjunction with the Pope's visit to Germany, aims to raise money for the starving people of East Africa.
The Swiss agency Spinas Civil Voices, which specializes in NGOs, has been awarded the contract for the nationwide campaign. The fundraising campaign, which is supported by the Bishops' Conference, is deliberately not arch-conservative, the agency writes in a press release. With a wink, it refers to the good feeling of 2005, when the Bild newspaper made a big announcement: We are Pope. In plain language: if half of Germany already feels a bit like the Pope, then the "Popes" can stand together these days to help the starving in East Africa.
The fundraising campaign includes posters, advertisements, mailings, radio spots and a special donation website. It is being used around the Pope's visit to Germany.
Responsible at the Archdiocese of Freiburg: Udo Schnieders (Head of Fundraising). Responsible at Spina's Civil Voices: Stephan Huwiler, Andrea Reinhart, Matthias Freuler (creation), Alain Aebersold (graphics), Michael Achzet (consulting), Lorenz Spinas (overall responsibility), Christoph Schott (web).
