In what aims to become the world's largest ever advertising campaign, out of home (OOH) communications agency Posterscope has announced its participation in Project Everyone, the brainchild of filmmaker and Comic Relief founder Richard Curtis.

Project Everyone, which was launched on September 26, 2015, aims to share the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals with seven billion people over seven days using powerful imagery and copy across an extensive range of platforms.

Posterscope and Blue 449 have joined forces with their media partners across the globe to supply advertising space to display the adverts, which have been designed by Richard Curtis and raise awareness of the initiative. They have engaged with 125 partners to date for the ad to be shown in 450 cities across 28 countries in busy central locations with high footfall, including the CST Station in Mumbai, Piccadilly Circus in London, Swanston Street in Melbourne, Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur, Shibuya Scramble in Tokyo and Times Square in New York.

Globally, over 140,000 OOH screens are being used for this campaign. In India, Ambient OOH has engaged over 2,000 digital screens for the project.

Richard Curtis, founder of Project Everyone, said, “The best chance of the UN's global goals being met is if everyone is aware of them, and that's where Project Everyone comes in, along with the support of its many partners. I have been overwhelmed by the response of brands, consumers and institutions alike to this initiative. Posterscope and Blue 449 have been instrumental with getting OOH media owners on board to help us get our messages across to really raise public awareness of the issue at hand. With their help, we have secured sites in the busiest areas of key cities around the world to visualise the global goals and what Project Everyone stands for.”
