The paper presents information about an official Macedonian campaign from 2008 to preserve the "Macedonian Cyrillic script" and to foster its use in the society and in the public space. As such, it is an example of a top-down initiative to dominate the 'linguistics landscape'. The main slogan of the award-winning campaign was "I protect what is mine -as long as I write in Cyrillic, I exist!" Not only because of its biblical allusions, the text of the campaign seems somewhat pathetic. Linguistically, its main arguments are unsound. It was preceded by a corresponding Serbian campaign in the years immediately before its launch. The campaign and the accompanying promo material had a very colourful design mainly aimed at children. The web-site of the campaign is no longer online, but its traces are preserved and documented here, using the original material the PR agency Idea+ Communications had created. One intention of the campaign was to stimulate the development of fonts which would contain all "Macedonian" characters. Such fonts were indeed created and are still available today for download (although not longer necessary or up-to-date).
