Campaign overview - Hedrin: once a week, take a peek: getting ahead of head lice
Company: Thornton & Ross in association with Pegasus
An expert report into head lice among healthcare professionals and consumers commissioned by the Hedrin team revealed how inconsistent professional advice results in confusion among parents about how best to treat for head lice and uncovered a huge knowledge gap.
An educational programme for pharmacists was devised and implemented to help them give better advice and included, 'the golden rules of head lice management', compiled by pharmacy experts. At the same time, other educational material was made available for schools and parents. The results were good and succeeded in cementing Hedrin's position as market leader.
Judges' comments
"They took a solid, consumer-focused approach with excellent focus on the best communication media. 'Once a week, take a peek' – very catchy! "
"We liked the good collaboration with the NHS and they focused responsibly on parental ideals."
Stakeholder quote
"This innovative and targeted educational campaign provided clear easy-to-follow advice for parents regarding the best way to identify and manage infestations, encouraging them to take responsibility and to check for head lice on a regular basis. It has received great support from the pharmacy and teaching communities and feedback suggests that it is really making a difference."
