Fentanyl is Forever targets a broad swath of demographics to spread knowledge of the threat of fentanyl to communities across our nation. Our goal is to make people aware and averse to street fentanyl and to seek out local resources for help.
The ongoing scourge of fentanyl, in communities across our nation, continues to accelerate. Fentanyl is Forever” brings the dangers and devastation of fentanyl misuse to life by showing how fentanyl can wreck lives, families and friendships. Through five short stories we let people see the dangerous potency of fentanyl; that it may be present in non-prescribed and/or street drugs that they are misusing and that an overdose is all-too easily fatal.

Meth – Don’t Buy the Lie is targeted at young adults who may be at risk for trying meth. The goal of the campaign is to provide the truth about meth without preaching nor invoking the reflexive opposition which comes easily to people in this age range.
The campaign positions the viewer to identify with the person featured in each ad: an inquisitive individual; open to adventure but not wishing to be “played.” The positioning of the interaction allows for external rationalization by positing the “lie” as something the person was “told” but not as a “truth” that they hold dear to. The real truth is then presented to give them the information to make the best decision for themselves. The implication is that as a smart person they will make the smart decision.
