Access wins high-profile TV campaign to stop pregnant women lighting up | Print |  Email to a friend
Monday, 17 November 2008
Manchester-based creative agency Access has scored one of its highest profile briefs to date, as it looks to create a TV campaign to combat the unusually high number of pregnant smokers in the North West.

The team scooped the brief after impressing client Smokefree Northwest in a five-way pitch, and will now produce a hard-hitting push that promotes the benefits of stopping smoking when pregnant, for both the woman and the unborn child.

The campaign, which will focus its activity on terrestrial TV, will also look to appeal to the partners, family and friends of pregnant women.

Speaking of the job, Simon Landi, Access MD, commented: “I’m so proud of the team for winning this one - it was certainly challenging.

“We put a lot of time and effort into the research phase and are now already well on with the execution, but it’s great to work on a project which will help people and change attitudes.”

He added: “We’re not here to judge, but we want to motivate and support these young women to give up.”

Access’ work is part of a national push that apparently needs to be up-weighted in the North West, where the problem of smoking during pregnancy is particularly prevalent.

In Blackpool, for example, up to 50% of all pregnant women smoke.
