Brief Explanation

The headache pill market is highly competitive, and we needed to develop mindshare for an emerging headache pill brand.

The Brief

To communicate the effectiveness of STOPACHE in putting an end to migraine.

How the final design was conceived

This ambient campaign visually demonstrates the extreme suffering that anyone who has migraine is in. Splitting posters featuring portraits of people in great pain are placed outside clinics and pharmacies. Bringing a great deal of attention to the perfect solution: STOPACHE.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

More than 7,000 visitors saw the ambient executions. The poster created a lot of buzz and word of mouth publicity.
