Storytelling continues to drive our strategy. Drawing from the wellsprings of real, human experience, we'll share stories that are poignant, powerful, and profoundly transformative. We're set to flood our digital platforms, social media, blogs, podcasts, and traditional news features with these compelling narratives. Our aim? To unmask addiction, to shed light on the battles fought in the shadows, the victories won in silence, and the indomitable human spirit that perseveres.
With our campaign's third iteration, we have the advantage of an established identity. This gives us the freedom to spend less time explaining what Addiction Awareness Week is and more time amplifying its message. We'll leverage the influencers and voices we've cultivated so far and continue to scout for new ones, creating an ever-growing chorus calling for change.
This year's theme is 'Everybody Knows Somebody' and we are calling on our followers, advocates and champions to support this year's campaign by debunking some of the myths about addiction.
This year, we aim to reach beyond mere information dissemination. We strive to connect, to engage, to stir emotions and spark conversations. We believe in the transformative power of stories - the kind that resonate deep within, shake us to our core, and compel us to act. It's this belief that will carry our message into the hearts and minds of a broader audience than ever before, fostering an understanding of addiction that's more empathetic, more nuanced, and more human. This is our mission for Addiction Awareness Week, and together, we'll make it a reality.
