NHS: Get Unhooked

— April 7, 2008 — Marketing
What a powerful campaign!

With a slogan of “Get Unhooked”, these print ads from NHS smokefree show young guys and girls literally hooked. And by hooked I mean a painful hook up their lips.

The ads say “The average smoker needs over five thousand cigarrettes a year. Get unhooked” and provide contact information for professional help to quit smoking.

I think it's a captivating campaign that not only grabs the attention with its powerful imagery, but also provides a solution to the problem.
