WORK: Pride in London #LoveHappensHere campaign

To coincide with this year’s Pride – which is also the anniversary of the beginning of the legalisation of homosexuality in the UK – Pride in London and WCRS have created a mulitfaceted promotional campaign.

As we posted here, a series of four films exploring the attitudes of family members toward relations who come out will air on Channel 4. At the same time, The ‘Love Happens Here’ campaign will play out in two phases; ‘Hate’ and ‘Love’.

The first phase (above) drew attention to the rising problem of anti-LGBT+ hate crime in the London with Guerrilla-style fly-postering across the city, a covert take-over of Wi-Fi networks, statistic led taxi-tops and an event, which all tell stories aimed to raise awareness of the ongoing prevalence of prejudice.

This is followed by ‘Love’ in which, from June 23, a multimedia campaign will see digital OOH sites across London filled with stories of love, sourced from members of the LGBT+ community and illustrated by 30 different artists and illustrators. All the stories featured in the OOH campaign come from members of the community who have shared their stories on Pride in London’s interactive map.
