The ASTHMA Stigma
Allergies and asthma are a big business. Millions suffer from such ailment.
The cost for medications, hospital admissions, and loss of business productivity is huge.
The impact and bad effects on children are significant such as school absenteeism.
There is no cure for Asthma.
When you say Asthma...
What is SINGULAIR?
Prescription SINGULAIR (Montelukast sodium) from MERCK prevents asthma symptoms in adults and children
That means you can breathe a little easier while doing the things you want to do.
SINGULAIR ads communicate with wide, open spaces...
The MessageWith SINGULAIR, you don’t have to miss out on life. SINGULAIR gives you the freedom to go out, fly free, and do what you want.
The Idea
SINGULAIR“Freedom Flight”
The “Freedom Flight”
Based and inspired by SINGULAIR brand, this uses two positive equities that we want to associate with the product: Freedom and Flight.
This will be the handle and theme of the event activities as well as other materials
The “Freedom Flight”
This is a by-invitation event, a symposium/seminar on Asthma- managing it and new research developments.
This event is sponsored by SINGULAIR and MSD Philippines.
Resource speakers include local experts as well as guest speakers “flown-in” from other countries.
This is a beyond-the-usual event that will excite as well as engage all participants.
The Invitation
The Invitation
The invite will resemble a plane ticket or a boarding pass. This announces the guests’ flight destination, the MSD conference.
The tickets can include perforated portions that may serve as claim stubs for the giveaways and other handouts
