Give the air some breathing room…

Pub point com is proud to have contributed, for a fourth consecutive year, to the development of the Quebec tobacco-free week (January 15 to 21st) campaign. Featuring 14 testimonials (English and French) from local personalities, this campaign was directed by film maker Léa Pool.

This year, Pub point com demonstrated extraordinary media creativity by collaborating with the magazine La Semaine. The January 21 edition (available in store January 13) contains interviews with the personalities, the editorial comment of Claude J. Charron on the benefits of a smoke-free world, a special insert on smoking and a cover page reference.

In addition, the agency celebrated, during the shooting, the production of its 125th testimonial for the Quebec tobacco-free week.
The mix-media campaign (TV, daily newspapers, weekly publications, magazines) was launched at the provincial level on January 8, 2006.

New Tips for "Drive Smoke-Free"

PPC Agency has once again received the mandate to create a campaign giving smokers and non-smokers tips on how to drive smoke-free.
This year, the agency chose a more humorous approach in contrast to 2003’s dramatic ads. Six new radio ads will air this fall, all of them in a lighter vein, all of them giving new tips to drivers looking to stop smoking in their cars.
The ads also give non-smokers a way of enforcing their rights with regard to smokers. Car expert Jacques Duval (a very well known figure in Quebec) plays the lead voice-over role in the ads.
