An awareness campaign for the next legal drug.

With the legal landscape around cannabis shifting in Germany, we launched the #CarefulWithCannabis campaign in collaboration with the DHS.
The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness about the dangers and risks of marijuana consumption and promote safer habits. We helped shape the message for maximum impact, across print, web, and social media, while adapting it for diverse audiences and languages.

A message that grows with its audience.

To guide users through complex health topics, we created a modular information kit around cannabis use. From foldable leaflets in multiple languages to simplified versions in "Leichter Sprache," the materials ensure accessibility and clarity for a wide range of audiences.

Designed for trust, delivered with care.

The campaign’s tone was factual, not moralising. We crafted every component – from icon systems to layout rules – to feel clinical and calm. Supporting facts and institutional authority (BIÖG and DHS) were given prominence to ensure trust across all touchpoints.

Social presence with social purpose.

The campaign’s visual identity extended seamlessly into digital channels. We designed teaser posts, Instagram reels, and Facebook header graphics to match the tone: neutral, informed, supportive, while ensuring standout moments in users’ feeds.
