INTRO

Prior to May 2021, Find Your Anchor, a grassroots suicide prevention, awareness, and education initiative; Born This Way Foundation, Lady Gaga’s nonprofit mental-wellness organization; and the Ali Forney Center, a nonprofit that provides housing and supportive services to LGBTQIA+ homeless youth, had relied heavily on Facebook to drive awareness of their public service announcement (PSA) – the Please Stay Pledge, a powerful suicide prevention project. However, the recent introduction of out-of-home (OOH) to their media mix has significantly elevated the campaign’s impact – and potentially saved young lives.
