Like I said, if you look at the comments on my blog about them, the
person who worked on the campaign comments about that... oh here...

"I'm from The Hub, the social marketing agency that worked with NHS and
Little Angels to conceive of the campaign.
We developed the concept following receipt of a fantastic client brief
(normalise breastfeeding amongst 16-28 year old mums living in deprived
areas of Lancashire) and much focus grouping. We Art Directed the shoot
with real mums who were, yes, even Chantelle in 5" heels, breastfeeding
their children in the shots, as well as producing radio scripts and
outdoor advertising, leaflets etc.
We are posting the adverts to the blog (www.beastar.org.uk) in the next
couple of days and would be really keen to gain your feedback.
Our brief was to normalise breastfeeding amongst young mothers.
Following much research, it became clear that influencers were key in
the decisions of these mums; the influencers being their parents, their
partner and their friends. As you will (hopefully) see, the body copy in
the ads is written from the perspective of each influencer group -
including, of course, the baby itself which, we would hope, would be one
of the key influencers.
This campaign is supported by a radio ad running on local stations that
have also caused a stir and I aim to link the ad to the blog soon also.
As a social marketing specialist (we've worked on numerous alcohol,
drug, probation and disability campaigns) and a mum of 2, this has been
the single most rewarding campaign that I have worked on. Previous
campaigns have saved lives, but I believe that this campaign is
supporting young women, enabling them to make decisions for themselves
and their child that will hopefully continue to be witnessed after they
have finished breastfeeding.
It has sparked huge debate and, already, within just 1 1/2 weeks of
launch, has generated interest wider afield (New York, Australia).
Please get in touch if you have any more feedback on the campaign;

Thanks, Helen."

I think what I'll have to end up doing, is interview Helen and Michelle,
and blog it! :-)
