Executed across free-to-air, outdoor and digital, the campaign’s centrepiece is an emotionally charged 45 second ‘film’ created specifically for cinema. While our first ‘ReachForTheFacts’ campaign was created to raise public awareness of the risks of dependency and addiction associated with these powerful painkillers, this latest campaign highlights a range of other, unexpected side-effects, that the public is still largely unaware of. By weaving these seemingly unrelated side-effects into an emotionally driven, layered narrative we were able to explore different experiences of loss before revealing prescription opioids as the common cause. ---   --- ###### [Don't Let Vaping In](https://www.showpony.com.au/work/dont-let-vaping-in) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/Vaping%20image_1.jpg) Don't Let Vaping In](https://www.showpony.com.au/work/dont-let-vaping-in) ###### [CHOOSE CHURROS](https://www.showpony.com.au/work/choose-churros) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/240405_SanChurro_Winter_Hero_CMYK.jpg) CHOOSE CHURROS](https://www.showpony.com.au/work/choose-churros) ###### [STORIES FROM TASMANIA](https://www.showpony.com.au/work/stories-from-tasmania) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/macq1_viewfinder_1080x1080.png) STORIES FROM TASMANIA](https://www.showpony.com.au/work/stories-from-tasmania) ###### [OPERATION SAFE ROADS](https://www.showpony.com.au/work/sapol-safe-roads) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/SP%20SAPOL.jpg) OPERATION SAFE ROADS](https://www.showpony.com.au/work/sapol-safe-roads) ###### [Flu Vaccination](https://www.showpony.com.au/case-study/flu-vaccination-sa-health) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/2019%20Showpony%20Website/Case%20Study%20Assets/Flu%202019/Flu%202019_400x225.jpg) Flu Vaccination](https://www.showpony.com.au/case-study/flu-vaccination-sa-health) ###### [Keep your hands off our ambos](https://www.showpony.com.au/case-study/keep-your-hands-off-our-ambos) [![](https://www.showpony.com.au/hubfs/2019%20Showpony%20Website/Case%20Study%20Assets/Ambos%20SA/Ambos%20SA_2%20420x255.jpg) Keep your hands off our ambos](https://www.showpony.com.au/case-study/keep-your-hands-off-our-ambos) ###### [Back to the top](https://www.showpony.com.au/work/opioids-can-take-away-more-than-pain#scroll-top) [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/showponyadvertising/?hl=en) [LinkedIn](https://au.linkedin.com/company/showpony-advertising) MELBOURNE L 2, 145 Russell Street Melbourne, VIC 3000 03 9988 2293 [melbourne@showpony.com.au](mailto:melbourne@showpony.com.au) HOBART L 2, Suite 2, 7-9 Franklin Wharf Hobart, TAS 7000 03 6142 3048 [hobart@showpony.com.au](mailto:hobart@showpony.com.au) ADELAIDE L 1, 174 Pulteney Street Adelaide, SA 5000 08 8225 9700 [adelaide@showpony.com.au](mailto:adelaide@showpony.com.au) ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "VideoObject", "contentUrl" : "https://532151.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/532151/RTW4033545WEB.mp4", "dateModified" : "2022-05-25T16:36:22.596Z", "description" : "", "duration" : "PT45S", "height" : 1080, "name" : "RTW4033545WEB", "thumbnailUrl" : "https://api-na1.hubapi.com/filemanager/api/v3/files/thumbnail-redirect/38258502890?portalId=532151&size=medium", "uploadDate" : "2020-12-02T05:45:53.108Z", "width" : 1920 } ```
