Showcasing Our Success with Drug Awareness Campaigns

Walsall Public Health Drug Awareness Campaign

Working with Walsall Public Health, we developed a creative campaign focusing on harm reduction during the critical pre-Christmas period. The campaign featured:

Key Messages: Encouraging safer drug use practices, including avoiding mixing substances, using test strips, and carrying Naloxone.
Media Mix: A combination of radio adverts, video content, and online amplification to reach diverse audiences.
Real Stories: Testimonials from individuals who recovered from addiction at The Beacon in Walsall inspired others to seek help.
Results: The campaign achieved widespread engagement, delivering crucial messages to those at risk and their support networks.

Scottish Drugs Forum Drug Awareness Campaign

We collaborated with the Scottish Drugs Forum on an award-winning integrated campaign that educated the public on recognising overdose symptoms and using Naloxone. The campaign featured:

Key Messages: Highlighting the importance of recognising overdose symptoms and understanding how to use Naloxone effectively to save lives. The campaign also aimed to address the stigma surrounding opioid-related drug use.
Media Mix: A comprehensive approach combining TV, radio ads, digital platforms, and outdoor advertising to ensure widespread reach and engagement.
Community Engagement: By creating clear, accessible resources, we empowered individuals to intervene confidently in overdose situations. This included detailed instructions on Naloxone use and recognising critical warning signs.
Results: The campaign led to a 75% increase in Naloxone kit distribution, significantly improving access to this lifesaving tool. Public perception of drug-related deaths as a preventable health issue shifted positively, with widespread coverage highlighting the campaign’s impact.
