Thunderstorm Asthma multicultural campaign

After the deadly 2016 thunderstorm asthma event, Victoria’s Department of Health needed to help multicultural communities prepare. We created the campaign, media and PR strategy and led its implementation, including Puffy the Asthma Puffer, a mascot who became a festival favourite.
