Arcos launches to UK consumers Bluebeards promote men’s health
The Bluebeards Revenge have joined forces with charity Orchid to launch an innovative on-pack campaign to educate men on the three uniquely male cancers - and it has the backing of 2003 Rugby World Cup winner Phil “The Raging Bull” Vickery. The brand’s eye-catching packaging will feature potentially life saving advice for men on the inside of all its cartons. It will encourage men to be aware of the early signs and symptoms of the three male specific cancers - testicular, penile and prostate – so they can seek advice from a GP as early as possible. The campaign is launched after a recent survey commissioned by Orchid revealed that three quarters of UK men recognise that a lump in the testes could be a sign of testicular cancer but one in four still never check their testes.
