French historical leader in the field of medical publications for professionals, VIDAL has been particularly known since 1914 for its professional Dictionary. Over the last few years, VIDAL has developed several editions dedicated to Health for the consumer market.
In late January/early February 2004, VIDAL enlarged its Consumer offer with the launch of the “VIDAL DE L’AUTOMEDICATION” (Vidal of Self-Medication), a guide which helps women, families and single people deal with their health at home, to identify the symptoms and to use the right medicine, etc.
Taking into account the specificities linked with the “self-medication” issue, a tricky social theme in France, in which VIDAL wants to be involved in a responsible way in collaboration with Health professionals, the aims consisted in:
- Positioning the “Vidal of the Self-Medication” in Consumer and Professional press as a complete and practical guide for the families, for a responsible use of medicine without medical prescriptions.
- Capitalising on hot news to position VIDAL speakers as experts in Health/self-medication field.
- Obtaining special articles about the self-medication issue.
- Sending journalists press releases customised according to the media targets (consumer and professional titles), press kits and guides
- Deployment of a teasing campaign for the main media targets, in 2 steps (sending of goodies with humoristic riddles, followed by the sending of the press kit and the guide with the answers)
- Wide follow-up campaign to journalists
- Organisation of interviews on self-medication
- Partnerships with radios (product placements)
- The launch of this guide was considered a real success by our client, with a large number of dedicated media results on TV (national channels, etc), radios (RTL, RMC, etc) and Magazines/Newspapers (National, Women, Families, Consumer and Professional Health titles…)
- A considerable global Advertising/PR equivalent
