Strategic Objectives, Canada’s most award-winning public relations agency, is proud to announce its new partnership with ScienceUpFirst, a national initiative of the Canadian Association of Science Centres. ScienceUpFirst is made up of independent health and science experts, and science communicators, who share the best available science in creative ways to stop the spread of health and science misinformation online.
"ScienceUpFirst has been successful in reaching Canadians throughout the pandemic to share the best available science, helping them make informed decisions for their health and safety,” says Magda Byma, Director, ScienceUpFirst Initiative. “As we begin to expand our focus to include health and science misinformation more broadly, we know we need to engage new audiences with our content. Strategic Objectives is the clear choice for us, knowing that they can deliver on their promise to connect us with influencers in markets across Canada.”
Strategic Objectives will enact a national influencer campaign for ScienceUpFirst focused on the dangers of health and science misinformation, and how quickly it can spread online. The campaign will engage influencers across Canada to share information through an engaging creative lens, to raise awareness for ScienceUpFirst and provide Canadians with the knowledge, insights, and tools they need to join the fight against misinformation.
“Canadians are constantly bombarded with viral, online misinformation and ScienceUpFirst plays an essential role in equipping Canadians with the evidence-based knowledge they need to make informed decisions,” says Adriana Lurz, Senior Vice President, Strategic Objectives. “We are honoured to partner with ScienceUpFirst to champion good science and drive critical awareness that will keep Canadians safe.
