We launched a digital outreach campaign to promote routine cancer screenings for younger individuals residing in kentucky and southern indiana.

The campaigns utilized targeted digital marketing, streaming ott video ads, and online pre-roll video ads. Total spent on this program was 38,000, not including administrative costs.
