Wazazi Nipendeni Campaign Materials

This is a complete annotated list of the materials produced during Phase I of the Wazazi Nipendeni campaign in Tanzania, 2012-2013. The materials include: posters, brochures, TV spots, radio spots, billboards, radio jingles, an SP reminder card and a pregnancy wheel.

It is interesting to note changes made to several of the materials during pretesting:

Colors: We had a very ‘colorful’ campaign at the outset, with each print and outdoor material on a different color background. We realized, however, that we needed to have a much more consistent look and feel in order to truly establish the Wazazi Nipendeni brand. We decided on a purple and yellow color scheme, and have carried that throughout every execution

Birth planning poster: The individual birth planning poster, for instance, started as a checklist, where you could tick off each component of your plan. However, it was crowded and cluttered and too much to take in. We ended up switching to illustrations of each component, and positioned them in the shape of a heart, thereby significantly reducing the text, increasing its visual appeal, and showing how they all tie together.
