Leo Burnett introduces cartoon tree Harry Ficus for WWF’s ‘Love your forests’ campaign
Leo Burnett Sydney has launched a spot for WWF that introduces cartoon tree character Harry Ficus, a ‘responsibly made’ tree that can turn into tables, chairs and tissues.
The campaign, which kicks off WWF’s ‘Love your forests’ initiative, includes prints executions and a children’s book – printed on Forest Stewardship Council certified paper – called The Adventures of Harry Ficus.
Lawrence Hennessy, head of marketing for WWF Australia, said: “We know that people want to make the right environmental choices, but often don’t know how. As soon as Leo Burnett presented Harry Ficus we fell in love with him and what he stood for. The Adventures of Harry Ficus is a simple, engaging idea that will educate and encourage people to think about their everyday purchases’.

What the?! A tree that turns almost magically into tissues? Is that Magically as in hacked down in its prime by a chainsaw and fed into a howling shredder? This is up there with The Simsons’ Bovine University aka slaughter house. Only they were taking the piss. How dumb do Leo’s think kids are?
