Description of the Project: 
Background:
Hitler’s “Mein Kampf“ (My Struggle), the Nazi propaganda book, can be published once again in Germany after its 70-year copyright expired – in a country struggling against new right-wing extremism. We had to create a strong stand against it on behalf of our client “Gesicht Zeigen!” – a non-profit association encouraging people to stand against racism.
Strategy:
1. Reclaim the conception of the words “Mein Kampf” from the Nazis.
2. Create a spectacular content triggering PR and social media buzz.
3. Wake up and encourage the silent majority to stand against racism.
Idea:
We wrote a counterbook and launched it at the same time of the re-publication of "Mein Kampf": "Mein Kampf – against racism"! It features 11 people and their courageous struggle against racism. Touching stories of people like granny Irmela Mensah-Schramm who removes Nazi graffiti or MTV host Wana Limar who had to face hate as a refugee child.
Execution:
Our integrated campaign made our book the relevant topic across society:
- Bookmailing activating influencers.
- Lectures triggering PR.
- Provocative posters around bookstores.
- Social media campaign spreading the news and content.
Results:
- Top 15 bestseller on Amazon
- 645 million contacts via earned media worth Euro 14.8 million.
