Faux tourism campaign keeps Ukraine war top of mind

United24 reminds the world the war in Ukraine persists despite there being less media coverage.

Faux tourism campaign keeps Ukraine war top of mind

United24 has come out with a new campaign by Pablo entitled: 'Come to Ukraine: there's so much to do'.

At first glance, these ads appear to be an invitation to visit Ukraine as they take inspiration from vintage travel posters, with the line: "Come to Ukraine: there’s so much to do."

Each poster depicts a different city – Kyiv, Mariupol and Kharkiv – with different landmarks at the centre of the illustration.

A closer look at the ads indicates that the destination is still war torn with explosions and missiles distracting from the famous landmarks.

The campaign asks people to make a donation to United24 to support the nation by signposting a QR code with a call to action.

It was written by Tim Snape, art directed by Gustavo Bonzanini and illustrated by Antonio Firsik.
