Changing behavior often starts with changing minds. The Boston Public Health Commission asked MORE to create a video campaign to reach adults of color, 18-40, who live in Boston communities with low vaccination rates. In order to do so, we needed a stigma-free, empathetic approach that spurred action.

Powered by Mission

Our client’s mission was to encourage people to re-examine familiar data in a new framework in order to arrive at a different conclusion about the COVID vaccine. Enter True, Also True, an inversion of the true/false construct that both acknowledged fears and presented facts.

​Creativity never sleeps, and neither did the video team on the True, Also True night shoot—but it was worth it. The video was the keystone to a targeted, multichannel campaign that led to a significant uptick in vaccinations (including 700 residents being vaccinated in the campaign’s first clinic) and won a Platinum International MarComm Award.
