NACOA Awareness Campaign

A multi-city public awareness campaign created for NACOA, using murals, posters and billboards across Bristol and Brighton to help make a hidden issue visible.

NACOA is the National Association for Children of Alcoholics, supporting children and young people affected by their parent’s drinking.

Working with NACOA, Upfest, Broken Hartist and later Back On Track in Brighton, we created artwork designed to bring visibility to an issue that is often hidden, but affects millions of children and young people across the UK.

The campaign focused on children affected by their parent’s drinking.

The aim was simple: make the issue visible, and make sure young people knew support was there.

The campaign launched in Bristol as a large-scale public activation.

We created original portraits of Nacoa's patrons Elle Macpherson and Calum Best, which were displayed across 90 billboard locations throughout the city.

Alongside the poster campaign, a 30 x 8 foot mural was painted on North Street in Bedminster.

The campaign was later extended into Brighton as part of the #HereToListen initiative, with posters installed across the city including large-scale billboards and bus stops.

This showed how public art can help make difficult subjects visible and support campaigns with real social purpose.
