MSD: Plan for COVID.

Role: Art Director, Head of Studio/Brand Custodian

The context:

COVID-19 took Australia on a roller coaster ride—everyone felt swept up in fear, confusion and helplessness.

But by April 2022, Australia’s first PBS-listed, GP-prescribed oral antiviral was launched by MSD. A vital development for high-risk Australians.

The problem:

2 years after the declaration of the pandemic, COVID-19 apathy had set in.

We needed to evolve the narrative and tell it straight: Be confident. Plan for COVID.

The output:

A major 360 campaign comprising of TVC, OOH, Radio, Social & Digital.

Results:

11.6m OOH impressions

11.3 programmatic ad impressions

4.2 million digital video views

826K GP and pharmacy screen views

84% year 1 market share

8,526% brand growth year on year

The success of our campaign culminated in over $433,224,375 in PBS reimbursements.
