Asbury Park — Kivvit today announced that they have been honored by the AVA Digital Awards for two Reach NJ ads. The ad “What is an Opioid,” narrated by Dr. James Baird of Kennedy University Hospital, received a Platinum Award and the ad “Ambulance” received a Gold Award.  “What is an Opioid” can be viewed here and “Ambulance” can be viewed here.

“Kivvit is incredibly honored to have received these awards and is proud of our work on the Reach NJ campaign,” said Maggie Moran, Managing Partner at Kivvit.  “Everyone knows someone who has suffered through the disease of addiction. We took on this work because we wanted to play a part in getting people the help they need. We are certainly humbled by this recognition, but knowing we were able to make an impact in fighting this crisis is what drove our work.”

Reach NJ was a public awareness campaign dedicated to reducing the stigma of addiction and educating New Jersey residents on the dangers of opioid and heroin addiction.  It sought to provide information and access to services for those suffering from addiction as well as their family members, and provide information on what opioids are and the dangers they present.
