These are some ways in which people have raised awareness in relation to MS.

“Lemtrada is a drug developed to help combat some of the symptoms of multiple sclerosis. We were asked to develop and produce a short patient information film to inform and enlighten patients when they have just been prescribed this unique infusion treatment. The drug works very differently to anything else for MS so we needed to develop a film to remind the patient of how MS attacks their body and then show how Lemtrada can counter that attack and improve the patient’s symptoms. We helped to develop a narrative in which different cells of the body were represented by characters. The story focuses on rogue white blood cells that act innocently while causing damage, hoping they won’t be noticed by the body’s immune cells.”
