Netherlands
SIM (Special Investigative Media)
Amid a 20% surge in crime victimization among Dutch citizens last year, a desperately understaffed Dutch Police Force faced an increase in unsolved cases. Eyewitness tips became the critical divide between solving crimes and letting them go cold. We transformed our marketing algorithms into a real-time crime-fighting tool. Within minutes of a crime occurring, our platform automatically builds and deploys hundreds of assets in programmatic, search, and social to a geotargeted population of potential witnesses. Tailored dynamically to each crime's specifics, our campaigns didn't merely reach millions—they transformed viewers into potential keys for justice, yielding unprecedented engagement and response rates. This campaign received a Bronze at the 2024 Cannes Lions Awards in the Media category for Not-for-Profit Charity & Government Work.
