Background

Greenpeace is a worldwide organisation who focus on human and environmental rights.

Don’t Panic worked alongside Greenpeace to produce a spoof Netflix ad asking viewers to sign a petition to encourage Netflix to stop using ‘dirty’ energy and switch to 100% clean energy. The ad used clips from popular Netflix shows including House of Cards and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to have characters reacting to the news.
