SUMMARY
It’s a rare privilege to create advertising that erodes societal stigma and potentially saves lives.
When given in time naloxone dramatically reverses opioid overdose, saving lives. Provision of naloxone kits had been increasing from 2018 through 2020 (CAGR 8.74%).
Despite these historic increases in the antidote, year on year opioid-related deaths have been increasing. ~3,500 people in the UK died from opioid overdose in 2020;
and 2021 began by tracking below the three previous years and was tracking to finish 16% below target
The Hidden Lifesavers campaign did just that, and with an extremely restricted budget.
