Norflex wanted consumers to be able to relate to a strong campaign visual that clearly identified their health issue and communicated a possible solution. At the same time, GP’s needed to be reminded of Norflex’s relevance in managing a specific category of pain which is often also relevant to the millennial consumer.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400">Norflex works to reduce pain caused by muscle spasm – a largely misunderstood term. By communicating what a spasm is, and how it makes a person feel, we were able to connect with those suffering on an emotional level. Understanding that a spasm is a tensing of the muscle that restricts blood flow, was the starting point in developing a bold visual metaphor that is identifiable and easily understood.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400">Our campaign visuals communicate restriction and pain, explaining the current state and desired future state. Unwinding the pain and the subsequent relief that comes with it.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400">We gave Norflex a bold creative proposition, with striking campaign imagery and simple, undiluted messaging. Boosting both consumer and HCP brand recall and starting a conversation that is relatable and personal – one anchored in the individuals pain experience.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400">This double facetted campaign encourages Kiwi’s to consider proactively thinking about their health, inviting them to speak with their doctor as to whether a new approach to their recovery might be right for them.
