Using some Snark to curb tobacco smoking.
Launch recently led the creative development of two online campaigns to curb social smoking among young adults in Colorado. The campaigns were developed for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, in partnership with SE2. Knowing that preachy or health-scare tactics would fall on deaf ears with this millennial audience, we turned to snarky humor and authenticity instead. Jess Harvat, tobacco communication specialist at CDPHE, says this about the work. “We found a different way to connect with social smokers by acknowledging how they feel and look after smoking. The campaign represents a fresh way to address one of the most serious health issues in our country.” Check out the Snarky Sentiments and Party Animals campaigns.
