The WPP firm’s remit for the campaign will extend beyond above-the-line components to include community and grassroots outreach, digital engagement and public relations. MediaCom is charged with media planning and buying.

More than just awareness-driving, we have devised a big interaction idea that is designed to change behaviour, by encouraging those affected to seek help,” said Edward Pank, general manager for Bates 141 Singapore.
