OOH campaigns can drive public health change. Proud to share the trophy with Civilian, for the Live Beyond ACEs & toxic stress awareness campaign.
OOH increases awareness and engagement for Live Beyond, an awareness campaign about ACEs and toxic stress.
Objective:
Civilian entrusted PJX Media with the out of home (OOH) component of the Live Beyond campaign, a multimedia initiative by the Office of the California Surgeon General (OSG) designed to raise awareness about Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and toxic stress. The campaign's goals were to increase understanding of ACEs, support prevention and healing strategies, and foster resilience in individuals.


Activation:
The campaign targeted youth & young adults, impacted communities, and parents & caregivers across California, with all media channels directing traffic to the LiveBeyondca.org website. Given the campaign's tight timeline, OOH formats were strategically selected to effectively reach each audience segment and ensure high frequency across the state. The OOH strategy included traditional billboards and poster packages, placed-based media such as cinema ads, high school and college campus placements, posters in convenience stores, and point-of-care digital screens for parents and caregivers. Spanish-language ads were also incorporated in areas with a high concentration of Spanish-speaking populations. Traditional high-profile roadside placements in neighborhoods with high concentrations of specific priority groups, such as BIPOC youth and lower-income communities. A hand-painted wall mural near a high school was designed as an interactive activation, allowing youth to take selfies with the campaign’s inspirational message, timed to coincide with the back-to-school season.
Results:
The Live Beyond campaign successfully increased awareness and engagement across all audiences in the first quarter of its launch.
Examples include: 818MM total paid media impressions to Youth, Caregivers, and Impacted Communities.
Including: 244MM hyper-targeted Out-of-Home placements on high school & college campuses, cinema, pediatrician offices, and low-income areas.
