01 — Challenge


Addiction medicine carries stigma, clinical language and political sensitivity all at once. The campaign had to invite a general audience in without oversimplifying the medicine, stay credible to physicians, and give advocates something they could carry into a legislative office the same week.

02 — My Role


  • Campaign identity and visual system
  • Social creative for the Opioid Aware Chat program
  • Hill Day branding, digital and print materials
  • ASAM journal cover, brochures and postcards

How it was solved

03 — Creative Approach

01

Plain-language hierarchy

Led every asset with the human question rather than the clinical term, keeping medical accuracy in the supporting layer.

02

Campaign identity

Built a warm, non-clinical palette and type system that separated the campaign from typical public-health material.

03

Social-first system

Designed the Opioid Aware Chat social program as a sequence rather than isolated posts, so the conversation built across the week.

04

Advocacy extension

Adapted the same system into Hill Day leave-behinds, badges and printed toolkits for clinicians meeting legislators.

Systems thinking

The System

  • Campaign identity
  • Social sequence
  • Web and email creative
  • Hill Day advocacy toolkit
  • Printed collateral
  • Journal and publication design

Evidence

05 — Impact

  • Gold — 2017 Association Trends All-Media Contest (Social Media)
  • One system extended from social to Capitol Hill advocacy
  • Campaign materials reused across subsequent advocacy cycles
