The observant amongst you may have noticed a new banner on our homepage today.
The banner’s part of a new campaign that we’re launching in the North-West of England, and on our websites.
The campaign aims to communicate the link between Cancer Research UK, the groundbreaking research on cancer going on around the UK, and the benefit this has on people’s lives.
There’s a web page tied in with the adverts, where you can find out more about our research, download posters and audio files, and watch a video about the making of the campaign.
We’re really keen to hear your feedback, on all aspects of the campaign. Is it effective? Are the supporting resources ok? Is there anything else we could have included?
Please post your feedback in the a box at the bottom of this post.
