BackgroundCampaign from The Department for Communities and LocalGovernment collaborating with Media Agency M4C for Fire Kills
Aim – to raise awareness of testing smoke alarms and raise profile of assisting the
elderly test alarms– marketing activity to make the behavioural link between changing clocks and
testing your smoke alarm
Target audience– Householders – particularly lower socioeconomic groups and social housing
tenants– Target: All adults with a particular focus on C2DE and older C2DEs (65+)

Campaign ran w/c 4th February 2013 for 1 week– 140 local newspapers – across 46 regions– Localised editorial surrounding national advert
