LoweDigital, the digital arm of the MullenLowe Group, Sri Lanka, in partnership with We Are Designers received two awards at the recently concluded SLIM Digis 2020 for its campaign for the free emergency ambulance service, 1990 Suwa Seriya. The companies bagged a Gold for the ‘Best Digital Marketing Campaign - NGO and Government category as well as a Bronze for the ‘Best use of Technology in Marketing 2020.’
The entry titled ‘Sri Lanka puts 1990 on speed dial’ highlighted how 1990 Suwa Seriya, an island-wide Pre-Hospital Care Service, operated 24/7, but it was greatly underused due to a lack of awareness by the general public. The campaign consisted of the launching and popularising of both the 1990 Suwa Seriya app as well as the services on offer. Following the implementation of the campaign, 1990 Suwa Seriya saw a significant increase in the number of calls by citizens reaching out through this invaluable service, this demonstrated the campaign’s reach and effectiveness.
