In collaboration with Straker Films (Now Zinc Communicate) this educational campaign was aimed to help girls wise up to the link between HPV and cervical cancer and support the implementation of HPV Vaccination programme in UK secondary schools.

​

In Wise Up to STIs Zinc created a narrative in a rap battle scenario between boyfriend and girlfriend. Tongue in cheek 3D animated characterisations of the STIs rapped about the different infections. By opting for lighthearted and fun the film managed to get the right message to a young audience without being sexually explicit or too scientific.

The resources won gold in the Pharmaceutical Society Marketing Awards.
