Perth-based agency Monster Sauce have enlisted the help of British actor Ray Winstone in a global brand film for Save Wild Tigers.
The film highlights the global poaching crisis driving wild tigers towards extinction. Wild Tigers are being hunted for their skins, bones and parts by the illegal poaching trade. The global illegal trade in endangered species is worth around $USD 20 billion every year.
Led creatively by Perth agency Monster Sauce, the campaign was a collaboration with Worth Your While agency Copenhagen, Supersonic Copenhagen and Smoke and Mirrors Bangkok.
Monster SauceCEO Steve Back said with first-hand experience of the disturbing life of a wild tiger, the hero of the campaign 'Ray' - makes the perfect spokesman for the ever-dwindling global tiger population.
"He represents the many illegal tiger parts poached from wild tigers. In what initially appears to be a cute tiger chatting to the audience, we soon see things take a turn for the worst as Ray is revealed to be a tiger skin rug," he said.
'Save Wild Tigers' and partners have plans to screen the film globally across multiple digital platforms and media channels, countries and audiences over the next 24 months.
