Channel and Frederick County Health Department update “Take Back My Life” campaign to take a more encouraging approach to fighting opioid epidemic.
BALTIMORE, MD, October 12, 2018 — Channel Commutations’ president, Cory Farrugia, announced they have completed a new “refresh” of the successful Take Back My Life (TBML) campaign, which is an initiative of the Frederick County Health Department aimed at expanding awareness of the risks associated with opioid misuse, while supporting families and empowering individuals on a path of health and recovery (takebackmylife.org/).
Dan Coury, Account Manager at Channel said, “We are thrilled to be involved in the evolution of the TBML campaign that we originally developed in 2015. The personal stories are still the bedrock of the campaign. But instead of the rough jagged edges and gritty treatment associated with the previous campaign, this new refresh features a cleaner, crisper, more hopeful look and feel throughout the TBML website and its supporting creative materials. The new look is focused on hope, resilience, and recovery.”
The campaign refresh includes four newly shot videos, each featuring a Frederick County resident telling deeply personal, emotional accounts of his or her struggles with opioid or heroin misuse, those of family members, and traumatic childhood experiences also called Adverse Childhood Experiences or “ACEs”. Their stories provide hope and encouragement for a brighter tomorrow.
Also featured are a series of three posters, information share cards, as well as new blog and YouTube header graphics. Calls to action in messaging continues to promote a 2-1-1 number that provides immediate access to help and treatment options.
