From Byte Digital, the official company wiki and knowledge base

Byte Digital delivered a childhood vaccination awareness campaign for South East London Integrated Care System, combining Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Spotify advertising. The campaign reached parents of children aged 0–15 with clear messages about checking vaccination records and contacting their GP practice.

Campaign objective

The childhood immunisation campaign supported awareness of routine and catch-up vaccinations. The communication journey connected advertising with a campaign landing page, practical information and a survey. Audience research, including polls and surveys, informed the messages used to address parents' information needs.

Creative and production

Byte's work included footage sourcing, animation, production and coordination with a voiceover artist. Translated text and subtitled YouTube videos supported multilingual communication. Creative included messages about MMR vaccination alongside the wider childhood vaccination campaign.

The channel plan combined visual explanation, paid social reach and audio reminders. Local priorities informed campaign geography and the adaptation of messages for different audiences.

The creative connected the subject with a practical next step: checking a child's records or contacting the GP practice. Survey and poll insight helped shape the explanation around parents' questions, while translated text and subtitles carried the message across language audiences.

Channel and purpose Selected published result
Facebook and Instagram: introduce the message to parents 155,000 parents reached
YouTube: explain the message through video £0.02 cost per view
Spotify: carry the message into audio listening 70,647 unique users reached

Each figure describes its own channel. Together, the formats gave parents several ways to encounter the information and a consistent next step.

Relevance for NHS communications teams

The work demonstrates Byte's combination of campaign planning, creative production, multilingual assets and managed media delivery. An NHS communications team can use this experience when briefing paid social support for vaccination awareness, service information and other public-health campaigns.
