Description:
In Mexico, thousands of children are being recruited through mobile video games to join organized crime. Given that 81.4% of players prefer this channel, they are more exposed and become easy prey for drug cartels, known as "narcos," to contact them through the most popular games.

Movistar Telecom is a brand that is socially committed to the digital environment; it cares about providing gamers with a safe space. 40% of Movistar Telecom business is in gaming, so they feel a responsibility to address a topic that connects with one of their core audiences.

THE BRIEF Recruitment through video games is a threat that the gaming community was unaware of; they did not know that drug cartels were infiltrating video games. Neither the media nor the government sufficiently alerted about this problem.

Movistar Telecom wanted to send a message to alert everyone in the most viral way possible, using the codes and language of an audience that knows about gaming. Making it clear that recruitment is not a game and is a real problem. Making it clear that Movistar Telecom, as a socially responsible company, will always look out for the cybersecurity of its users.
