Frontlines of Vaccine Communication

Since our founding in 2010, BC/DC Ideas has been on the frontlines of vaccine communication, helping parents, providers and patients understand the importance of immunization through social media and communications campaigns.

Vaccine messages, campaigns and communication are some of our favorite challenges. Our team brings 12 years of experience in deploying successful communications campaigns. Our agency has over a decade of experience increasing vaccination rates from building better messages to build trust in vaccines to hyper-targeted paid media campaigns.

Vaccines need smart, savvy strategies to be successful. We need thoughtful campaigns to address our community's fears and concerns while building trust for medicine, science, and public health leaders. BC/DC Ideas is ready to support your community with pro-vaccine projects
