The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time

I like the overall idea of the campaign and the art is pretty good. But two questions. 1) How often was this campaign in the media? I don't know if seeing just one or two ads will help.
2) Who was this targeted at? The kids? The parents?

OK, I think I get this campaign, but I had to really think about it.
For me, the report card and piggy bank hold it together, but the whole "Kids think music=drugs" angle really threw me for a while. Maybe it's the FIMO syringe and the word "Kids" which turned me off.

Like Ravages said, I hope there was more supporting work done for this campaign, the posters just don't deliver quickly enough. Maybe there's just too many elements going on.

I agree, Horror would have been better. I didn't get drugs from the syringe, I got Doctor. Very unclear.

i agree, but whhen a kid sees a needle que just will scream "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" so there you have the music. i love the whole campaign, but the banana ad was too literal, even for kids.

This is the weakest execution in the campaign; if they had started with the ice cream/tragedy version, it would have clicked. The hypo needle is the least tight connection. Overall a decent camp, but still a bit of disconnect---should there be a URL or Phone Number or anything---these guys make biscuits/cookies?
