An advertising campaign that encourages reflection before making a decision is relevant in today’s world, which is full of quick and direct messages, in addition to the famous reminders that visit cell phones, emails, and watches at any time of the day. Instead of promoting a product or service, it appeals to the “consumer’s” conscience, evoking a process of reflection. This visual resource, which illustrates the internal debate to do the right thing, is a perfect example of how advertising serves as a tool to encourage conscious decisions.

Over time, the angel and the devil have been used to represent the moral dilemma in everyday situations: one force invites us to take the right path, while the other suggests the easy route or immediate gratification. In advertising campaigns, this resource works similarly, appealing to the duality of our decisions and the importance of evaluating before acting.

Benefits of this approach in advertising:

Promotes informed decision-making by inviting consumers to reflect, these campaigns promote a more informed and conscious decision. This goes beyond simply buying a product, as people evaluate the social or personal well-being implications of their choice.

Generates a greater emotional impact achieving a deeper emotional connection with the public. People tend to remember and value more those messages that make them think or that touch their personal values.

Creation of social awareness with transformative potential in social terms. By reflecting on issues such as justice, ethics, compliance with laws, environmental protection or public health, it contributes to creating a more conscious and responsible citizenry.

The educational campaign “Don’t do it” serves as a reminder of the political-partisan prohibitions of public servants, presenting situations in which officials stop before committing a fault and decide to listen to their ethical conscience to act with integrity.
