Consumer brand consultancy Kazoo Communications has been appointed by international aid and development agency World Vision to handle all public relations for their annual youth fundraising event, the 24-hour Famine.

The campaign encourages young people to give up food for 24 hours and this year’s campaign is focusing on the impact of HIV on children overseas, with an emphasis on those who have been orphaned as a result of AIDS.
The campaign has already begun with a mix of trade and consumer PR activity that will publicise World Vision’s objectives and enlist UK teenagers to take part in the 24-hour Famine weekend in February 2005.
The London-based agency secured the account after a three-way competitive pitch and consultative process hosted in June 2004.
