Notes: Most baby boomers believe the planet will be in worse shape when they die than when they were born. Two-thirds want to stand up for the planet even after they’re gone.

So we created a cinematic short film inspired by cult comedy and protest cinema, not traditional legacy advertising. Using dark humour, in-camera effects and expert puppetry, the film brings a skull, worms and an urn to life as unlikely protagonists - a cheeky, rebellious rallying cry for post-death activism. Woven throughout are the impassioned voices of real supporters, crying out from beneath the earth - a reminder that this rebellion is deeply personal and powered by people whose convictions refuse to stay buried.

The film aired on cinema, social and digital, portraying supporters not as passive donors, but as empowered activists.

It cut through the noise, reframing legacy giving and showing that by leaving a gift to Greenpeace in your Will, you can be part of the fight that never dies.

Our approach paid off, delivering 3.62 million views and contributing to 81% of our annual target for our primary KPI, legacy enquiries, in just five months.
