Alliance Of Health Groups Urges People To 'Stop Distancing' From Medical Care

An alliance of healthcare organizations is teaming up to launch “Stop Medical Distancing,” a new campaign and PSA to remind Americans that while they should continue to practice good hygiene, social distancing and mask-wearing in public settings, it is critically important for people to seek both preventative and emergency medical care.

MullenLowe and Mediahub executed the campaign on a pro bono basis.

The creative is straightforward, with simple graphics and a voiceover encouraging people to still attend to their medical needs. The messaging is also designed to draw a distinction between social distancing and medical distancing.

“It’s simple, memorable and, most importantly, actionable,” explains Jeff Vermeersch, creative director at MullenLowe U.S.
