We’re all used to advertising, aren’t we? Junk food, toys, cars… Anything that big companies want you to part with money for – they’ll be ads for them. But not all commercials are cynical attempts to make you buy things. Some big advertising campaigns have a real message behind them. There’s a social problem that needs addressing and it’s been tackled head on.
