A new campaign for The Salvation Army of Brazil uses humor to drive donations instead of the usual emotional, heart-tugging approach. The new campaign, 'Unwanted Gifts,' created by agency WMcCann Brazil, uses colorful and exaggerated illustrations of international politicians, such as Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un, to show that what may not fit some may be perfectly useful to others.

Print ads feature a sour-faced Donald Trump figure receiving a Mexican hat and Kim Jong-Un receiving an “I Love NY” T-Shirt. Both ads carry the tagline,“It may not be perfect for you, but it’s perfect for us.”

The online film/TV commercial takes a lighter narrative but arrives at the same conclusion about unwanted objects having value for the Salvation Army. The humorous film features a plaid family in a plaid environment exchanging plaid gifts, but the daughter receives a shocking, polka-dot shirt – perfect for a donation to the Salvation Army.
