Winner: Jones Public Affairs - Breast Cancer M.A.P. Project
 |
After a medical report confirmed a positive link between survival of cancer with emotional and social support for people with cancer, the Cancer Support Community (CSC) created a registry that would allow cancer patients to share their experiences. CSC then enlisted Jones Public Affairs to create a campaign to increase awareness of the registry, emphasize the importance of social and emotional support in breast cancer care and register 1,000 breast cancer patients and survivors in a two-month period. JPA built the Breast Cancer M.A.P. (Mind Affects the Physical) Project brand—including the name, logo and key messages—and promoted it through a dedicated website and YouTube videos. JPA’s media outreach generated almost 93 million impressions, and the campaign goal was reached: 1,008 breast cancer patients and survivors were recruited to participate in the M.A.P. Project. —Regina D'Alesio
