The World Deserves Witnesses

Iconic camera brand Leica drops their first global campaign in over a decade

Leica’s latest campaign, “The World Deserves Witnesses,” is about celebrating the eye-witness accounts of history. The campaign, created by the agency TBWA\Paris, reflects on the moments that have changed our world.

In their own words: “Today, as for more than one century, Leica keeps celebrating the witnesses, the ones who see the everyday beauty, grace and poetry, and the never-ending irony and drama of our human condition, and bring their cameras to the eye in order to frame it and capture it forever.”
