In an era when information flows incessantly and opinions are formed with lightning speed, the significance of communication campaigns in shaping public policy cannot be overstated.
At Vital Strategies, our public health communication campaigns aim to tell great stories, deliver them well and create meaningful change.
Our campaigns are addressing the pivotal topics that are shaping global health—creating healthier food environments, protecting people from the harms of tobacco, making our roads safer for all, and increasing support for harm reduction for people who use drugs.
Our goal: a society where good health is possible for all.
Leveraging our expertise in public health and strategic communication, we’ve partnered with local governments and civil society organizations across 140 countries to spearhead hundreds of strategic communication campaigns.
Our new Campaign Beacon spotlights effective and innovative communication campaigns addressing pivotal issues shaping global health.
Through a series of case studies and real-world examples, CampaignBeacon.org illustrates the relationship between well-crafted communication campaigns and the advancement of public policy objectives, and campaigns’ unique power to influence public opinion, mobilize stakeholders, and ultimately shape the public health policy agenda.
“It’s possible to achieve policy wins which protect the health of our people if civil society, researchers and other stakeholders rally together with tenacity and commitment.”
– Nzama Mbalati, Program Manager Of Healthy Living Alliance (HEALA)
Accompanying our website launch is the debut of a new video series providing insights and guidance on crafting effective communication campaigns for public policy initiatives.
