Using COPD voices to build a ground-breaking coalition to drive national and regional policy change

Patient journeys and authentic content featuring advocates and experts, helping AstraZeneca establish Living With COPD — a patient-centric coalition for pharma brands, bodies and their agencies.

We created patient journeys and authentic content featuring advocates and experts for AstraZeneca, helping it set up Living With COPD — a patient-centric coalition for pharma brands, bodies and their agencies.

Living With COPD enhanced visibility of people living with COPD, providing a focal point and catalyst for the creation of the Speak Up for COPD coalition, which:

  • Established policy discussions and a Global Advocacy Standard, reframing and amplifying COPD from a "lifestyle-driven respiratory issue" to a top-tier global public health priority in the eyes of policymakers
  • Pioneered and orchestrated massive multi-channel campaigns (specifically for World COPD Day) that amplified a patient-centric video storytelling series from the coalition
  • Acted as a catalyst for significant cross-industry mobilisation at national and regional levels, securing long-term funding and strategic commitments from some of the world's largest pharma leaders towards a unified, non-promotional goal
