Challenge

For many, Christmas is a time of community. For the homeless, it is often the opposite.

During COVID-19, the situation worsened. Shelters closed, Christmas events were cancelled, and daily contact on the street disappeared. Sales of Hus Forbi fell significantly, and isolation grew.

Hus Forbi needed to remind Danes and decision-makers alike that winter is a critical period. And that homelessness is not just about money, but also about relationships and human contact.

Solution

We developed a campaign that turned one of Christmas's coziest symbols on its head.

Snow globes with real homeless people inside.

Using 3D scanning and printing, three people and their stories were made the centerpiece of their own snow globes. Inside the globes, their reality was told. About cold, loneliness, and the lack of contact.

The snow globes were sent to politicians, media, and influencers. As a physical and unavoidable reminder that Christmas is not the same for everyone.
