The PennZone

WHIPPANY, N.J. - PennZone -- Marketsmith Inc., the largest independent full-service marketing agency in New Jersey, in collaboration with the New Jersey DHS, has launched a statewide advertising campaign centered around opioid use to educate and bring public awareness targeting the opioid epidemic in the state of New Jersey. "The Call" builds on the Department of Human Services ("DHS") "Chapter 2" campaign with messaging crafted to help continue to eliminate stigma/discrimination in the general population around the use of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) to support an individual's recovery.

The new campaign began in late August, right on the heels of the "Chapter 2" campaign, to continue to bring awareness to this incredibly important message. According to the New Jersey Office of Attorney General, about 3,000 New Jerseyans have died from overdoses each year. Governor Murphy has also initiated programs and signed numerous bills into law to combat the opioid epidemic.

"The Call" was crafted to give residents struggling with substance use disorder or addiction the tools and assistance they need – like information on available treatment options and the number to the state's addiction treatment helpline, 1-844-ReachNJ.
