Spot a stroke

Often stroke awareness messaging can be heavy and alarmist, highlighting signs of stroke and the potentially scary outcomes after. In order to balance a difficult subject, the team went with a lighter creative style to engage an audience that may not want to necessarily listen and to contrast the scariness of the subject. The spot is based on insights that people with risk factors are least likely to pay attention to strokes due to a mentality that it usually happens to someone else. People who have strokes often aren’t aware when it's happening to them and are often unable to seek help themselves. Knowing that people having a stroke are often confused or helpless, the spot also aims to appeal to those around them.
