OHMAS – Take Charge Ohio Campaign

Connecting with Black and Latino Ohioans To Combat Addiction

Goal

Spark Awareness. Shatter the Stigma.

Take Charge Ohio set out with a bold mission: to illuminate the path to addiction treatment and boldly challenge the stigma surrounding recovery. This wasn’t just a campaign—it was a movement to inform, inspire, and empower individuals across the state. We wanted every Ohioan to know that help is out there—and that seeking it is a sign of strength, not shame.

Strategy

Know the Audience. Reach the Audience.

To truly connect, we had to first understand. Our journey began with an in-depth exploration of our audience’s behaviors, preferences, and media habits. Through Scarborough and TruAudience data, we gained powerful insights into our key targets—Black males 55–64, Black females 45–54, and adult Latino males.

We uncovered which platforms they trusted, when they tuned in, and how they engaged, enabling us to craft a media strategy as dynamic and diverse as the people we were trying to reach.

Preparation

Precision Planning. No Guesswork.


Armed with actionable data, we mapped out every step. From strategic recommendations and media placements to budget forecasts and impression estimates, we gave OMHAS a crystal-clear roadmap to success. Every deadline, run date, and creative requirement was accounted for with nothing left to chance.

Tactics

A Full-Funnel, Multi-Platform Media Blitz


Our plan went everywhere our audience went. Our media mix spanned high-reach channels and hyper-targeted platforms:

  • Broadcast and cable TV
  • Digital and terrestrial radio (Spotify, Pandora, and more)
  • Out-of-home placements—from eye-catching billboards to attention-grabbing gas station ads
  • OTT streaming
  • Social media
  • A high-profile sponsorship with Spectrum News1
  • Strategic sports alignment with ESPN

This powerhouse approach fused traditional and digital, broad reach and precision targeting, to ensure our message resonated loudly and clearly.

Execution

Smart. Statewide. Sharply Tuned.


With our plan in place, we executed a statewide rollout tailored to reach the right people in the right places at the right time. Every placement—from print to programmatic—was calculated and budget-aligned.

And we kept an eye on it every step of the way,  optimizing in real time with our proprietary Marjorie™ dashboard. This allowed us to adjust flighting, boost top-performing channels, and ensure every dollar delivered maximum value. And with our team overseeing creative production across every platform, the audience experienced a unified, compelling message at every touchpoint.

Post Campaign

Transparency. Accountability. Impact.


When the campaign concluded, we had a story of success. The End of Campaign Report detailed everything from key performance indicators (KPIs) to CTR, CPM vs. target, and outstanding SEM metrics. Then, we buttoned up every invoice, every vendor reconciliation, every last quality check, ensuring timely payments and flawless execution.
