Project overview

MHFA (Mental Health First Aid) came to us initially for a Google Ads campaign to support their “where's your head at” campaign that was being run in conjunction with Bauer Media.

We looked at the campaign MHFA had running with Bauer Media in their printed magazines and suggested they use this campaign to trial digital banners to use across the Bauer online media portfolio to run alongside any mental health content.

MHFA liaised with Bauer and were delighted to be given free digital advertising that would appear across mental health content.

Google Ads
