You've got life-threatening mail: An investigation by Pfizer, MHRA and partners
Summary of work
Imagine what would happen if you opened your inbox and clicked every spam link offering you prescription-only medicine? The latest initiative in the long-standing Get Real, Get a Prescription campaign, saw Pfizer and the MHRA team up in a ground-breaking collaboration, supported by wider campaign partners, to highlight the real risks lurking in people’s inboxes and investigate and publicise the truth behind medicine spam.
The study Spam Donors involved 65 members of the public, reached over 65 million through consumer, online and trade media buzz and generated 500 per cent uplift in visits to the MHRA Buying Medicines over the Internet page.
Judges’ comments
