Brand42 has created a new campaign for Imperial War Museums (IWM) to launch a four-year programme of cultural activities to commemorate the centenary of the First World War.

The number of lives lost during the First World War exceeded 16 million, and IWM tasked Brand42 with creating a way for the public to remember those lost, starting with a campaign launching this Armistice Day – 11.11.11.

Brand42 designed a Centenary Wall to be installed in the galleries at IWM, and IWM is asking the public to remember the lives lost by lighting a light on the Centenary Wall.

Their lights and names will appear on the wall, and by signing up, users will be marking their commitment to remembering the First World War and joining the centenary now. Soon IWM will be asking them to help uncover millions of life stories, transcribe thousands of letters and diaries, and tag some of IWM’s one million First World War photographs
