One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters for Body Image mentoring charity @BeenThere_App for their campaign to help people get #BeachMindReady so they have a summer of fun not fear.

The summer can be a really triggering time for people with body image issues. As temperatures rise and clothes come off, the anxieties kick in. Why is swimwear season so daunting? Because the media ingrains an often unattainable ideal into our minds about what our bodies should be like! Bombarded by ads for diet pills, articles for ‘beach body ready’ exercise plans or filtered up social posts, we are all being told we are wrong.

This has to stop!! We need to change the national conversation to not getting beach body ready but getting BEACH MIND READY!

To be beach mind ready means achieving a positive state of body-acceptance that frees you from the fears (and overthinking!) that stop you enjoying your summer! The summer is about laughs not looks, about memories not muscles!

Therefore, Been There is teaming up with the OMBLES to raise awareness of its service by starting a national conversation about getting #BeachMindReady. We are standing alongside bodies of all shapes and sizes to help them achieve beach-mind readiness for summer filled with more fun and less fear.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters for Body Image mentoring charity @BeenThere_App for their campaign to help people get #BeachMindReady so they have a summer of fun not fear.

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs & @BeenThere_App with the hashtag #BeachMindReady

Deadline 6pm GMT. Remember to include your Twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your entries.

Enter as many times as you wish and remember to add your Twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your entries!

PRIZE:

£100 cash for today’s winner!!

Audience:

Let’s face it, almost all of us can resonate with this… We’re talking to those of us with ‘beach dread’. You think your body is the problem. It’s not.  It’s your mind being trained by this sick culture to reject your body that is the real problem. We stand with everyone to accept and embrace their bodies.

Goal:

Raise awareness of the brand and get people talking about being #BeachMindReady. We believe this will help us attract new users of (and secondly Mentors for) the service.

Dos:

  • Use the Been There Logo

  • Use the term ‘beach mind ready’ or #BeachMindReady

  • Ensure the reader understands Been There can help them

    Donts:

  • Body shame anyone

ABOUT BEEN THERE

Been There is a new charity app that connects people over 18 with a vetted and trained Mentor to help them with any body image issues they may have. We give them the opportunity to speak to someone who has ‘Been There’ themselves when it comes to body image issues and the mental health struggles that arise from them. Our Mentors and Mentees can chat discretely through the safe space of our app. Our Mentors are here to support, empower and, most importantly, listen. We’re not therapists, psychologists, counsellors, or helplines, we’re just like you, and we care because we wish we had someone who had “Been There”.

We were founded by Tessa Peters in 2021 after her own personal struggles with body image issues and an eating disorder. Tessa says of her experience:

“I needed someone who was non-judgemental and had lived shared experiences. I saw counsellors, dieticians and therapists. All with the best of intentions but none of them worked for me. I felt that everyone lacked relatability. I needed a service like Been There when I was younger, a service that didn’t exist, so I decided to create it myself.

During my own journey I eventually found a Mentor and still speak with him today. The value of this relationship and the impact it has had on my life, has been lifesaving. Our volunteer Mentors are here to support you through your own journeys and make sure you are not alone”.

The app just went live in 2022 and we have already been receiving positive feedback from our Mentees on their journey to self-acceptance.

One Minute Brief of the day: 'Everyone' is talking about ''Web3'' - but does 'anyone' know what it is? Create posters demonstrating how easy it is for anyone to access web3 with a Near wallet.

About today’s brief:

Web3 sounds exotic.... or plain confusing!

At Near we believe it should be the opposite and we're keen to engage creative people in finding ways to do that. Web3 is really about decentralisation.

What does that mean?

It means that instead of a 'centralised' organisation like Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Google etc owning, harvesting and selling your data (Web2), you own that data and all transactions yourself. There's always beena. tradeoff in user experience for Web3, until now. Near has created 2 things that make decentralised Web3 much more simple than ever before:

- Fast Authentication (in plain english - super easy to create a wallet in just a couple of clicks https://near.org/signup ) you can then make a name for your wallet e.g. 'JoeBloggs69' giving you an identity and easy to remember account name. Before this innovation, users had to remember a long passphrase and the experience was way more clunky. 

- BOS - Blockchain Operating System - this sounds like something from the film Tron, but it's less scary! It means that absolutely anyone can find cool decentralised apps (dApps) in 1 place, any blockchains can be used (e.g. Polygon, Etherium) and entrepreneurs and developers can use all the code available on the blockchain to make their own products, services and businesses. 

'Everyone' is talking about ''Web3'' - but does 'anyone' know what it is?

That's the exciting challenge for today's OMB - promoting Web3 to a wider audience! Working with Near.org we're looking to explore ways in which seemingly complex idea of Web3 can be communicated in a simple and relevant way.

One Minute Brief of the day:

Show how Near will enable Web3 to be accessible for the world. 

Create posters for Near and/or its 'Blockchain Operating System, demonstrating how easy it is for anyone to access web3 with a Near wallet.

Tweet your entries to @oneminutebriefs and @NEARProtocol and the hashtags #NEARistheBOS with a link to https://near.org/ 

Enter as many times as you wish, remember to put your twitter handle in the corner of your entries to be in with a chance of winning. 

Prizes: 

1st Place: $1000 in NEAR directly into your own Near Wallet. (keep or convert it to cash or any other crypto)

2nd & 3rd Place: $500 in NEAR  (keep or convert it to cash or any other crypto)

(If you don't have a Near wallet set up, don't worry - the team will help you if needed but anyone can open a wallet here https://near.org/signup

  • NFT voting! As an exciting twist, the shortlisted 10 entries will be voted for via an NFT - making your work truly Web3 forever and allowing every voter to take part in a decentralised experience.

About Chillblast:

Chillblast are experts in building custom build PCs.

We are a manufacturer, a brand, we are not a reseller.

We have been around for over 20 years and are the UKs most awarded PC build manufacturer.

Chillblast also sell off the shelf PCs, laptops, mice and monitors etc, but our core business and expertise is working with people (either via the site pc configurator or over the phone) to help define and then build the perfect PC for their needs.

Our customers are gamers, esports players, developers and creatives, a lot of whom cross over multiple interests…all are passionate about what they do and want quality output.

Why Chillblast is different 

Many retailers outsource their PC building to other firms rather than build and test them in-house. This can lead to a number of complications including limited stability testing, inadequate attention to detail and careless construction. When you buy a system from Chillblast your computer will be built by one of our own highly qualified system engineers, all of whom have years of experience at the highest levels of PC construction.


Campaign tone:

  • Human – real and punchy, not stuffy or formal.

  • Forward thinking – talk about how the brand, tech and products can move you forward, take you higher, make you better. Keep your words active and give them pace, energy and motion.

  • Experts – convey confidence. We know our stuff, we’re effortlessly self-assured but never cocky or arrogant.

Context

Governments from around the world will gather in the UAE later this year (Nov-Dec 2023) to review climate change impacts and negotiate a deal on climate action. One of the major points of discussion at this UN conference - called COP28 - is fossil fuel phase-out, the gradual reduction of the use and production of fossil fuels to zero. Fossil fuels cause local pollution where they are produced and used, and their ongoing use is causing lasting harm to the climate of our entire planet. A commitment has been made by wealthy countries to phase out fossil fuels faster and achieve netzero in energy systems by 2050. 

While the G7 ministers have made commitments to focus on fossil fuel phase-out, Sultan Al Jaber, COP28 president, who also heads the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, wishes to shift focus on phasing out emissions, rather than fossil fuels which he stated will “continue to play a role in the foreseeable future”.


The danger of focusing on emission reductions instead of Fossil Fuel phaseout

While reducing emissions is a necessary step in addressing climate change, solely focusing on emissions reductions can be dangerous. Ignoring the root cause of emissions, which is the burning of fossil fuels, will only treat the symptoms and not the disease. The continued use of fossil fuels will inevitably lead to further greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately, continued global warming. Without a focus on phasing out fossil fuels, we cannot achieve the necessary emissions reductions to prevent catastrophic climate change. Therefore, it is crucial for policymakers to take a strong stance on fossil fuel phaseout and prioritise the transition to renewable energy sources to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Key messaging lines

You can use these key messages 

  1. UAE need to bring real climate action, the world is watching -  The COP president must take bold action to address the urgent threat of climate change. We cannot afford to settle for empty promises or incremental steps to ensure a sustainable future for ourselves and future generations. 

  2. Al Jaber, commit to fossil fuel phase-out - The future is at stake, and we cannot afford to wait any longer. A sustainable future can only be achieved with fossil fuel phase-out. It's time to take bold steps to transition to renewable energy sources and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

  3. Carbon credits are NOT the answer - Carbon credits are permits that allow companies to release a certain amount of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases

Examples

  • From Australia to California, devastating wildfires have caused significant damage to ecosystems, homes, and lives. Relying on fossil fuels, increases carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leading to warmer and drier conditions. 

  • Melting of polar ice caps, caused by fossil fuel emissions, has led to rising sea levels, threatening coastal communities around the world, including major cities such as Miami, New York, and Shanghai.

  • Other controversial carbon offset projects include Jari Pará REDD+ Project in northern Brazil, which forced indigenous communities to sign agreements that gave away their rights to the forest. The project was also found to be falsely claiming carbon credits. 

  • Ankeniheny-Zahamena Corridor REDD+ project in Madagascar was also found to be exploiting local communities, and the carbon credits generated were not based on real emissions reductions.

WILL YOU HELP US CELEBRATE 30 YEARS OF SHAVING LIVES?

It's time to head back in time to April 13th, 1993 - the summer is on its way, temperatures are rising, and the Nineties are smoothly getting into their swing.

In the UK, Young At Heart by the Bluebells sits atop the Top 40, across the pond, Informer by Snow tops the US Billboard charts. Bill Clinton holds the presidential reins in the US, while John Major is the Prime Minister of the UK. Texting is not yet a thing, neither is the internet and people are using landline phones, pagers, and faxes.

Fashion-wise, the late 80s trends are still in vogue, with coloured tights, denim overalls, flannel shirts, and shoulder pads all the rage. However, the grunge fashion has taken the world by storm, popularising ripped jeans, band t-shirts and Doc Martens.

A new music storage format, the CD, is taking the world by storm.

Turn on the radio and you'll hear the likes of Meat Loaf, UB40, Snow, Haddaway, WhitneyHouston, and new British boy band Take That, dominating the airwaves.

On TV, people are watching popular shows such as Baywatch and Last of the Summer Wine and gamers are playing classics such as Super Mario Kart and Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Kids and teenagers arealso into television shows such as Fireman Sam, Mr. Bean and The Simpsons, while playing with toys such as Pogs – a playing discs game or the Super Soaker water gun.

And, as a man, you were likely shaving with Gillette, there being little else to choose from.

However, on this day - 13th April 1993, King of Shaves was founded by 27 year old fresh faced clean shaven Brit Will King with a mission - to make shaving enjoyable rather than a painful daily chore. 

The rest is history.

Thirty years later, we’re still challenging, and hope that on our 30th birthday, you might make the change to us and enjoy a hit of 90’s “shave happy” in these stubbly, troubled times.

We promise you won’t Look Back in Anger if you do!

Thank you to the millions of men (and women) who’ve helped us remain as (retro) relevant now, as we were back then.

Don’t just shave, King of Shaves.

Background

Created in 1993 in Will King’s kitchen, King of Shaves is a British company that is now firmly established as a leading challenger brand in the UK. Following redundancy and after suffering for years from razor irritation when using conventional shaving foams and gels, Will experimented with blends of essential oils and eventually created his first product – King of Shaves Original Shaving Oil – that was to become the bedrock of the company.

Will hand-filled the first 10,000 bottles over the kitchen sink (it took two weeks) and in 1993, got the product listed by Harrods and Boots the Chemist in the UK.

King of Shaves was born!

“Back in 1992 I used to suffer from shaving rash and razor burn but couldn’t find a product on the market to solve my shaving problems. I suspected a lot of guys suffered in the same way I did, so I decided to solve the problem myself and develop a range of products to give a smooth, close and burn free shave – so in 1993 the King of Shaves was born.

Like me, I want you to enjoy shaving rather than endure it and have pioneered our simple guide to getting a close, comfortable shave with no irritation. Join our kingdom today and find out how to shave better with King of Shaves.” - Will King

That’s three decades since whales and dolphins were forced to perform demeaning tricks for crowds at places like Flamingo Land, Windsor Safari Park and the end of Clacton pier. But it’s still not illegal here and UK holidaymakers still visit these cruel circuses abroad. 

Keeping whales and dolphins in tanks for human entertainment is wrong. They are too intelligent, too emotionally complex, too social, too mobile and just too darned big to be confined like this.

We want the OMBLES to help us spread this important message and end it forever.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters to show that whales and dolphins should not be in tanks, make people think twice before buying tickets to whale or dolphin shows and help @whalesorg to #EndCaptivityForever.

Be as creative as you like … and accompany it with eye-catching headlines! You can enter as many times as you want too!

Just make sure you tweet to @OneMinuteBriefs and @whalesorg with the hashtag #EndCaptivityForever 

Don’t forget to include your twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your submissions.

Winner Prizes:

£200 cash & a year’s adoption of a wild, free UK dolphin

About WDC & the Campaign:

WDC is the leading global NGO dedicated to whales and dolphins.

We are lean, ambitious, impactful, and internationally respected.

We work across the whole spectrum of conservation threats, from climate breakdown to captivity. Whales and dolphins are awesome. They are intelligent beings, vital for the health of the ocean and planet.  Humans have decimated their populations, inflicted suffering on individuals and wreaked havoc on their homes. 

But it’s not too late. We can still help them recover and flourish and they can help us reconnect with the wild and repair the damage we have caused.

Save the whale. Save the world.

  2. 2nd place: £200 cash and a Prevented Ocean Plastic bundle of goodies

  3. 3rd place: £100 cash and a Prevented Ocean Plastic bundle of goodies

Prevented Ocean Plastic may feature the winning entry on a billboard to mark World Oceans Day!! If they do, a fee of £1000 will be available.

THE FULL BRIEF 

By 2050 there could be more plastic than fish in the sea. World Oceans Day aims to remind us of the major role the oceans have in everyday life. 

Prevented Ocean Plastic is recycled plastic made from discarded bottles collected from communities at risk of ocean plastic pollution in developing countries. Prevented Ocean Plastic pay local people for what they collect – helping provide income to people who need it and helping to clean up the natural world in the process. 

Most of us recycle as second nature but how many of us think about “choosing recycled” packaging and products when we shop? But this can be just as important as recycling because it creates demand for recycled plastic and in turn drives the clean up of waste plastic. 

The Prevented Ocean Plastic logo is a quality assurance and lets you know that recycling has already taken place. Our call to action with this poster is to ask people to:

  1. Choose recycled 

  2. Look out for the Prevented Ocean Plastic logo on packs of products you purchase.

    Key points: 

    • Please include our Prevented Ocean Plastic logo – we want people to know what to look out for and we’re really proud of it.

    • We’d love a headline/ slogan to encourage people to commit to “choose recycled” or “look out for the logo”– if something strikes you please do include – although this is not essential if you’re more of a visual person!

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to promote how Wilkinson Sword Hydro provides a clean, sharp shave that protects the skin against signs of irritation. #SwitchToTheSword

Due to the high risk of change in switching razors, driven by fear of skin irritation, men tend to stick with what they know. But today, with the help of the incredible OMBLES, we want to change that. And inspire confidence to change to Wilkinson Sword for a smooth, soothing shave.

We can’t wait to see your brilliant, instinctive ideas and we’ve got some great prizes to be won!!

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters to promote how Wilkinson Sword Hydro provides a clean, sharp shave that protects the skin against signs of irritation.

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs and @WSMenUK with the hashtag #SwitchToTheSword

Remember to include your Twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your entries. Get as creative as you can and enter as many times as you wish! Deadline 6pm GMT.

Prizes:

  • 1st Prize: £500 cash + 1 year’s worth of shaving prizes!!!

  • 2nd Prize: £250 cash + 1 year’s worth of shaving prizes!!!

  • 3rd Prize: £100 cash + 1 year’s worth of shaving prizes!!!

Problem:

2/3 of men experience problems from shaving (razor burn, nicks, redness) and these can be visible to the outside world for days to come. This makes the emotional cost of change to try new razors or routines very high, so men tend to stick to what they know for fear of worse results.

"Shaving can be trial and error, I can often end up with a few nicks & cuts. I've tried diferent combinations of razors, shave preps and techniques to try and find something that works for me, I'm still not completely satisfied but I don't want to risk my skin getting sensitive again"

Our Solution:

NO-NONSENSE, NO IRRITATION
Close skin Shaving made easy with Wilkinson Sword Hydro

A clean, sharp shave that protects the skin against signs of irritation

Our expertly crafted diamond coated blades give your skin a close and comfortable shave, whilst the hydrating gel pools enriched with skincare ingredients & Vitamin E improve the glide and help to keep skin protected against irritation.

Vitamin E has been considered an anti-inflammatory agent in the skin, as several studies have supported its prevention of inflammatory damage after UV exposure. Topical vitamin E can reduce UV-induced skin swelling, skin thickness, erythema, and edema — all signs of skin inflammation

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to raise awareness of the fact that with BeFibre, there are no sneaky in-contract price hikes — so your broadband connection can be fast, not furious.

Sneaky in-contract price hikes? Not on our watch. 

If you think it’s time to find a trusted broadband provider who isn’t going to break the bank, look no further than @Be_Fibre. Because with us, there'll be no mid-contract price increases.

And we’re hoping the OMBLES can help us spread the word today with some great prizes to be won!!

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters to raise awareness of the fact that with BeFibre, there are no sneaky in-contract price hikes — so your broadband connection can be fast, not furious.

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs and @Be_Fibre with the hashtags #BroadbandAsItShouldBe & #DropTheHike

We’re enlisting the power of the OMBLEs to bring to life the notion of saying ‘NO’ to sneaky in-contract price hikes and saying ‘YES’ to game-changing broadband. Go wild with your ideas OMBLES, because we like to be bold.

Remember to include your Twitter handle in the bottom right-hand corner of your entries. Get as creative as you can and enter as many times as you wish! Deadline 6pm GMT.

Prizes:

  • 1st Prize: £150 cash!!

  • 2nd Prize: £100 cash!!

  • 3rd Prize: £50 cash!!

About the campaign:

As you can probably tell, we think it’s bonkers that loyalty to a broadband provider can sometimes lead to nothing more than eye-watering increases to bills - so much so, mid-contract rises are now routinely accepted as ‘the done thing’!

That’s why we’ve pledged not to include sneaky annual price rises during their contract period. What you sign up for is what you’ll get – no fibs, no broken promises. 

Put simply, we do what we say we're going to. We'll never knowingly make a promise we can't keep. We're a real business, with ethics, and we want to leave a positive legacy in society.

We remain committed to supporting our customers, honouring the price you signed up for, and providing Broadband as it should Be. 

About BeFibre

Aiming to leave a positive legacy in society, BeFibre is striving to be known as the internet service provider that keeps its promises – and delivers broadband as it should be - by offering download and upload speeds up to 13 times faster than the fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) coverage that currently spans much of the UK.

Put simply, we do what we say we're going to and we'll never knowingly make a promise we can't keep.

One Minute Brief of the Day: Create posters to promote the launch of the first-ever ‘Neat Burger’ restaurant in NYC & appeal to the New York locals.

Neat Burger is a plant-based restaurant serving up a menu of burgers, sides and shakes across eight restaurants in London. Their mission to make sustainable and planet-friendly food more delicious than ever before!

They are opening in a new restaurant in New York's Nolita area this Spring. It's their first proper restaurant in the USA and so are looking to make a big splash on the city with lots of guerrilla marketing tactics and ‘wildposting’ posters. Who knows… the winning OMBLE idea could be seen in the Big Apple!!

Wildposting® is a form of advertising where static posters are placed in a large number on multiple locations, primarily in dense, urban areas, to attract maximum attention.

One Minute Brief of the Day:

Create posters to promote the launch of the first-ever ‘Neat Burger’ restaurant in NYC & appeal to the New York locals.

Tweet your entries to @OneMinuteBriefs and @NeatBurger_ with the hashtag #NeatBurgerNYC

PRIZES:

WINNER: £300 cash plus a years supply of Neat Burger!!

Runner-Up: £100 plus a years supply of Neat Burger!!

About the campaign:

Neat Burger is running a poster campaign in Nolita to let New Yorkers know that a new burger restaurant is coming to town. The posters need to be super creative, cool and authentic, with local New Yorkers in mind. We are trying to avoid seeming like we're just a London brand bringing a chain to NYC (for example, no Big Bens/Statue of Libertys holding a burger!)

They must be eye-catching, make people stop and look… Go wild OMBLES!

NOLITA RESTAURANT:

Neat Burger are hoping to appeal to the local community in NYC by being as authentically "New York" as possible. They're not just a tourist in the city, they're there to stay!

Despite this, the restaurant is far from understated; with big neon walls, artistic murals and bold prints. It's an Instagram-heaven with important messaging behind it.

The design within the restaurant provides constant reminders of the impact on the planet of choosing plant-based and that sustainability is seriously sexy!

About Neat:

Neat Burger is a destination for the naturally curious, founded on the belief that eating plant-based food should be an epic experience, not a sacrifice!

Through an innovative menu, beautifully-designed restaurants and exceptional hospitality, they're on a mission to spark curiosity in the future of plant-based eating that satisfies even the most carnivorous of appetites!

Backed by Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton and actor and environmentalist Leonardo DiCaprio, Neat Burger hope to inspire people to eat more sustainably and pave the way for the widespread adoption of plant-based and flexitarian living!

One Minute Brief of the Day: While brands and teams around the world demonstrate how empty a #WorldWithoutNature would be...Create posters to promote how incredible a world WITH nature is.

The #WorldWithoutNature campaign is BACK for a third year…and we’re hoping it will be bigger than ever with the help of the OMBLES today!! We’ve been very busy working behind the scenes, with the WWF team, to take the idea into the real world with billboards that will be appearing up and down the UK courtesy of our partners Elonex, who have given us the opportunity to create some very special bespoke billboards near the stadiums of several sports teams to show their support. We are also being supported by Mass Media and 75 Media to get this important message out far and wide!

As well as this, there are also plans to feature the campaign tomorrow on matchday on stadium screens and in match programmes!! And… look out for us on TV!!

This goes to show the power of a simple idea and the campaign was sparked by an inspired OMB submission by none other than Ze Anwar, who is a key member of One Minute Briefs and an important OMBassador for the community.

Could you create the next big campaign that hits a billion impressions?

Get involved today. You’ve got to be in it…for a minute…to win it.

About the Campaign:

On World Wildlife Day, WWF’s #WorldWithoutNature digital activation returns this year (3 March 2023) with some of the world’s most popular brands once again teaming up to rally against the emptiness of a world without nature. 

As part of WWF’s #WorldWithoutNature, brands, NGOs and sports teams around the globe will remove images of nature from their branding, across websites and digital platforms, as well as digital billboards. The aim is to drive awareness of nature and biodiversity loss, by prompting audiences to look twice at well-known logos which, for one day only, will remove iconic images of wildlife and biodiversity. The eye-catching digital digital activation will also give brands the chance to raise awareness about the planet’s rapid loss of biodiversity among their own supporters. 

We’ve got lots of major brands taking part this year, including the digital language learning app Duolingo, as well as Old Mout Cider, Gorilla Glue, Taskrabbit, Gymshark and Brewdog.

As sports teams across the world continue to be an increasingly important voice in the fight against climate change and nature loss, many teams will continue that trend by getting involved with WWF’s #WorldWithoutNature. A number of the UK’s top football teams will be taking part, and following on from the recent Green Football Weekend initiative at the beginning of February, teams like Aston Villa, Wolves, West Brom, Crystal Palace, Derby County, Swansea, Burnley, Norwich City & Hull City will all be removing images of nature from their badges. Other sports teams taking part in WWF’s #WorldWithoutNature include US-based football team, The Philadelphia Union, as well as rugby teams Leicester Tigers and Warrington Wolves.

Now in its third year, #WorldWithoutNature comes hot on the heels of a defining year for nature. In October 2022, WWF published its latest Living Planet Report, which revealed a staggering 69% average decline of global wildlife populations in less than fifty years. WWF warns that the world’s continued overexploitation of wild species and destruction of habitats is driving the loss of wildlife we’re seeing - which poses immense social and economic risks, in addition to the catastrophic consequences for the planet. Since then,  the world committed to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030 under the Global Biodiversity Framework adopted by 196 countries in December at COP15 – an agreement that WWF is now urging governments, businesses and financial institutions to deliver on.

Felicity Glennie Holmes, Executive Director for Communications & Marketing, WWF International: ”We want this year’s #WorldWithoutNature to make audiences think twice about the beauty and nature that we’ve long taken for granted, but which is quickly disappearing before our eyes. We need more people, more than ever to get behind our efforts to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030. That’s exactly why we’re asking some of the world’s best-loved brands and sports teams to show the world what nature loss could look like. We’re delighted to see so many brands get involved as part of this year’s #WorldWithoutNature digital activation.”

About World Wildlife Day

World Wildlife Day is marked on 3rd March to celebrate and raise awareness of the world’s wild animals and plants. This year, the theme for World Wildlife Day is “Partnerships for Wildlife Conservation”. It will allow us to celebrate all conservation efforts, from intergovernmental to local scale.

About WWF

WWF is an independent conservation organisation, with over 30 million supporters and a global network active in over 100 countries. WWF's mission is to stop the degradation of the Earth's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by conserving the world's biological diversity, ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption.

For World Wildlife Day (3 March 2023), WWF is running a global activation encouraging companies, NGOs, sports teams and governments to remove nature from their branding to mark the day. This day of action aims to highlight the dramatic loss of biodiversity – the variety of all life on Earth – and the social and economical risks that it poses.

Over the last two years, over 400 brands from across the world have taken part in the World Without Nature activation on World Wildlife Day, generating over 900 million impressions online and in the media!

Why?

Because the science has never been clearer: the #LivingPlanetReport 2022 revealed that species populations have declined by 69% since 1970. This simple and effective social activation highlights the immediate dual crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, and depicts what a nature-less world would look like through the medium of iconic logos.

Background

At Pleo, we want to make sure everybody gets paid on time. That’s why we created Pleo Invoices. Finance teams can schedule or pay invoices in bulk, saving time, reducing effort and minimising errors. The bonus? Freelancers actually get paid on time.

Everyone deserves to be paid for the work they do. But for freelancers, it’s not always a sure thing – nearly 30% of freelance invoices are paid late. Often, it’s because businesses don’t have the right set-up. They’re inundated with boring administrative tasks and are too swamped to remember to pay their bills.

Struggling to pay on time? Automate them with Pleo Invoices. One dashboard for all of your supplier bills, visible from the moment they’re received. Get a full picture of what you owe and when it’s due, so you can schedule payments at a time that suits you and forget about late payment fees.

Take the pain out of paying. Finance teams get a stress-free way to pay their invoices, and freelancers (finally) get their money when they need it. That’s one way to pay it forward.

Who are the World Bollard Association?

Ask the World Bollard Association, on Twitter as @WorldBollard since February 2018, what they’re up to, and they’ll remind you that they have half a billion bollards to look after. Bollards, for the uninitiated, are the posts and other solid objects used to control the movement of cars in public space. The term originated in the 1840s to describe the posts used to moor ships along docks and has since come to describe a panoply of practical objects sticking out of streets and sidewalks worldwide.

Once you start looking for them, you’ll see them everywhere, and they can be an unexpected source of delight. A surprising amount of creativity goes into bollard design: Recently the World Bollard Association has highlighted pencil-shaped bollards with an added flourish of street art, the rare “ice cream topped torpedo bollard,” and Playmobile bollards.

In the eyes of the WBA, which has a cheeky sense of humor and no other obvious web presence aside from its Twitter account, “All bollards are exceptional.” Late last month, the organization announced a new “Win a Bollard” contest, with a “Monoscape Spherical 500 Grey Concrete Bollard worth a massive £451.29” as the prize.
