Movember Campaign Unmasks Men's Health Issues
Edmonton-based, global medical device manufacturer, priMED Medical Products launched a special Movember campaign encouraging doctors and nurses across Canada to wear a fun moustache patterned mask to help raise funds for and awareness about men's health issues.
EDMONTON, Alberta, Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Since 2003, men all over the world have grown out their facial hair in awe-inspiring, interesting and sometimes even embarrassing ways to raise money for and awareness about men's health issues.
In 2018, Edmonton-based, global medical device manufacturer, priMED Medical Products went the extra mile by encouraging doctors and nurses across Canada to cover up their faces with a fun moustache patterned mask, to support its campaign to raise additional funds and awareness.
The campaign, known as "Masks for Mos," had priMED replace inventory within supporting Canadian hospitals, as it delivered masks with moustache patterned prints to substitute the standard colours typically ordered. Throughout the month of November, clinicians across the country donned the whimsical prints and took to social media to show their support, while priMED donated a portion of all its face mask revenue to the Movember Foundation.
"We wanted to make this campaign both fun and easy for the hospitals and clinicians to participate," says Medical Face Mask Product Manager, Taylor Davis. "Clinicians were really excited to have something fresh and fun to wear, and there was literally no additional cost to the hospitals to take part. It was a big win for everyone involved."
Over the course of the month, the highly targeted Masks for Mos campaign saw over 52,000 views by clinicians on Facebook and Instagram, and enabled priMED to raise $10,000 for the Movember Foundation. With the success realized, Davis hopes to see the inaugural promotion gain momentum in the future. "Ultimately our goal is to raise awareness about men's health issues," Davis explains. "We hope others see the fun and engagement clinicians had with this campaign, and it inspires hospitals in every Canadian community to join the program in 2019."
