Media campaigns
A strong media presence is the key to keeping SunSmart in the public arena. Our presence continues to be maximised by achieving an impressive amount of unpaid media exposure and limited paid advertising.
From the early days of raising awareness and providing sun protection advice, our media messages have evolved to meet public demand for harder hitting campaigns.
