Campaign

Start to screen - Give your cervix some screen time

The cervix is tucked away, out of sight, out of mind. It’s easy to ignore and forget. But we want to change that.

We’re introducing New Zealand to their cervix, a mysterious thing hidden away, and not talked about. This campaign will bring the cervix into the spotlight and make it the hero. It will help empower women to take action and give their cervix some screen time.

Audience

The primary audience for this campaign is anyone with a cervix, including trans or non-binary people, aged 25 to 29 years.

The campaign has been designed to resonate with those population groups who are most impacted by cervical cancers, while remaining accessible to all who wish to engage with the cervical screening journey (including those aged 30 to 35 years).
