The California Department of Public Health’s COVID vaccine campaign, produced in collaboration with United Language Group, was named a finalist in two separate Effie Award categories
“California vs. COVID-19: Removing barriers to vaccination,” a campaign produced for the California Department of Public Health and the California Department of Technology, was selected as a finalist in two Effie Awards categories: most effective Crisis Response/Critical Pivot and most effective Government and Public Service campaign.
United Language Group worked on the campaign in partnership with a well known international consultancy.
Comments the CEO of United Language Group, Nic McMahon, "Effective communication about COVID-19 vaccines was essential to controlling the pandemic and reducing unnecessary deaths. United Language Group worked to maximize the impact of this campaign across different languages and cultures, which was crucial to effectively communicate with California’s diverse populace. We are thrilled to see our work receive this recognition.”
Communicating with Diverse Audiences Remains Vital to Public Health
As new public health threats like monkeypox continue to surface, effective public health outreach remains a critical factor in responding to these threats. According to the Modern Language Association, almost 43% of Californians speak a language other than English at home. To be effective, public health campaigns must be designed with these diverse languages and cultures in mind.
