WATConsult, the digital and social media agency from Dentsu Aegis Network India, has made its way to Ad Stars with seven shortlists for its #PowerlessQueen campaign.

The campaign, which was launched in March 2018 for Project Nanhi Kali, was aimed at highlighting the plight of Indian women through an online chess game. The game of chess originated in India centuries ago and the queen is the most powerful. But yet, the plight of girls in India is far from powerful.

Just like the game of chess, it’s impossible to win if the queen is powerless. So the objective of the campaign is to give more power to the future queens by raising donations and educating underprivileged girls.

The Campaign:

The campaign garnered over 300 million organic impressions. Some of the chess grandmasters, including Viswanathan Anand, Anna Rudolf, Anish Giri, Peter Heine Nielsen, etc., organically supported the campaign, registering donations worth 40,000 hours of education for underprivileged girls.
