H&K wins Prostate UK campaign

Hill & Knowlton (H&K) has won the Prostate UK account following a competitive pitch. H&K will be working to drive participation in the charity’s flagship fundraising events “Pants in the Park” and raise awareness of prostate disease. The Pants in the Park events are sponsored by Simplyhealth and will be taking place at locations across the UK.

Prostate UK is the only national charity that focuses on all three prostate diseases: benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer and prostatitis. The charity aims to raise awareness of prostate disease, provides free information to the public and funds medical research and the training of healthcare professionals.

Jo White, Head of Public and Third Sector at H&K said: “We’re really excited to be working with Prostate UK. Prostate disease affects one in two men so Prostate UK’s work is key in helping raise awareness.”

Amanda McLean, CEO of Prostate UK said: “H&K did a great job of combining insight and creativity and we’re looking forward to working with them.”

Work on the account starts immediately.
