A lot of men avoid screening because they assume it begins with a finger. Cue pools, yoga, horse grooming and Enya. Subtle? No. Memorable? Very.<\/p>\n<h3>My bit<\/h3>\n<p>I worked on the early project as Head of Creative Technology on the Publicis Groupe team, helping to guide the early pre-production.<\/p>\n<h3>Did it work?<\/h3>\n<p>Award case materials reported a 367% increase in PSA-related Google searches and 9.8 times as many PSA tests added to online carts. Those are entrant-reported campaign results; they do not tell us how many screenings were ultimately completed.<\/p>\n<h3>Shiny things<\/h3>\n<p>The campaign received the 2026 Cannes Lions Pharma Grand Prix, a Cannes Pharma Silver Lion and the 2026 Clio Health Grand Award.
