Win for Contagious London to help the Stroke Association create a future free of stroke
Contagious London has been appointed as the Stroke Association’s creative agency after a competitive pitch. A new multi-platform campaign will be launched to raise awareness of the health condition and drive fundraising.
Paul Weiland, Founder, Executive Creative and Director of Contagious London said “Stroke is an absolutely awful disease that deserves more attention from the public. We’re looking forward to developing a stand-out campaign and bringing the great work of the Stroke Association to the fore.”
Jim Swindells, Director of Fundraising at the Stroke Association, said: “Every three and a half minutes, someone in the UK has a stroke. Yet too many people believe it will never happen to them. Contagious London has done some great charity work and has a proven track record. We’re really excited to be working with them on this as we take stroke to a new level of awareness.”

A stroke is a brain attack which happens when the blood supply to the brain is cut off, caused by a clot or bleeding in the brain. There are around 152,000 strokes in the UK every year and it is the leading cause of severe adult disability. There are over 1.2 million people in the UK living with the effects of stroke.
