During the Letter Writing Marathon, people send handwritten letters calling for the liberation of political prisoners from all over the world. To support this initiative, we created a spot where we showed the real effect receiving a large stack of letters has on both prisoners and captors. With a production budget of 0 CZK and a very limited media budget (just under 50 000 CZK) we managed to improve the Marathon website traffic fivefold, resulting in 21 000 people writing a letter of their own.
