One of the most successful Social Marketing Campaign Activities

One of the most successful Social Marketing Campaign activities in Nam Et – Phou Louey National Protected Area (campaign site) in Lao People’s Democratic Republic was Anti—Illegal Hunting and Wildlife Trade Concert Event. The event was held at the center of the campaign site; it brought together famous pop rock and country stars to deliver the campaign message and promote the illegal activity reporting hotline to the crowd. The estimation of the crowd was more than three thousand people who were enthusiastic to see their famous stars on the stage. A big banner size 5 meters high and 9 meters wide was set as a backdrop of the stage.
