Homelessness is certainly an issue that has a face, or many faces, in cities like Vancouver, but just before the holidays, First United wanted to focus on the faceless – those homeless that have found homes thanks to the efforts of the inner city ministry of the United Church of Canada. It enlisted DDB to develop a stunt that put faceless body sculptures, in the familiar poses of homeless people, around downtown Vancouver. Instead of change in the cups presented to passersby, there were paper slips directing them to Facebook profiles for the various sculptures.
