SUMMARY
Every day, eight kids are unintentionally injured or killed by improperly stored guns in the home. Traditional communications failed to get through to gun owning parents, triggering a "don't take my guns away" reflex. We discovered that language had the power to change how people thought about the problem. By launching a visceral new vocabulary - family fire - and engaging media to spread it, we reframed unsecured guns from protection to potential harm. We cut through, prompting 43% of ad-aware, gun-owning parents to seek information on safer gun storage.
