State of NJ: Safe Haven PSA

Narrative Media was commissioned to produce a series of 60, 30 and 15 second PSAs, for the NJ Department of Children and Families. The PSAs highlight their Safe Haven program that allows mothers of infant children to legally, safely and anonymously leave their children in care of The State at any hospital, fire station, police station or rescue squad if they are unable to care for the children themselves. The spots were promoted through paid marketing on social media and with earned media press events featuring the First Lady of the State of NJ. The spots have made well over 1 million media impressions to date. Narrative Media is currently working with the Department of Children and Families to produce Spanish language versions of the spots to broaden their impact.
