Explore Media Partners with American Academy of Dermatology for "Check Him Out" Campaign
During the latest Skin Cancer Awareness Month, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) needed to produce a campaign to gain awareness to the dangers of skin cancer, especially to men over the age of 50. Explore Media was able to win the job from a selection pool of 3 finalists, based on a treatment and creative developed without the aid of storyboards. Once the job was awarded to the team, storyboards were added to further sell the creative to not only AAD's marketing team, but the committee of doctors nationally whom they represent.
The project began with one simple line, "Sometimes, the men in our lives need a little help seeing things." From there, the Explore Media team conceptualized and created this spot that is both light-hearted and informative. The comedic digital content premiered on #MelanomaMonday and accumulated over 34k views on Facebook alone in just one day!
