The Downgrade

Kom Op Tegen Kanker

1 in 5 Belgian teenagers still start to smoke. Something Kom op Tegen Kanker wants to stop. But teens live in their own world where traditional campaigns rarely reach them. When it comes to the long term effects of smoking they don’t really relate or care.  We showed the negative effects of smoking in a way they would feel it. By turning some of their gaming heroes into smokers, by hacking into FIFA and dongrading ta popular team.  This became the kick-off for #RIProken: a movement within the gaming community to take a stand against smoking.
