A group of intrepid advertising interns has launched a campaign to help save the livelihood of an elderly barber whose London shop was destroyed by rioters.

While British Prime Minister David Cameron threatens to shut down social networks to help stop future citizen uprisings, an online word-of-mouth campaign has helped an elderly barber, who’s business was destroyed by rioters, get back on his feet.

Started by a trio of creative interns at the renowned London advertising agency BBH, the Keep Aaron Cutting campaign aims to help 89-year-old hair-cutter Aaron Biber rebuild his barbershop after looters ransacked his establishment, which he has owned and operated in London’s Tottenham neighborhood for 41 years.
