Draw a celeb competition

Hey Everyone!

Firstly a big thank you to everyone that visited the D-MYST stand at St John's Shopping Centre on Friday! We had quite a busy stand!

Today D-MYST The Agency launched a summer competition giving people the chance to win a pair of tickets to Alton Towers! There are three pairs of tickets up for grabs and all that people have to do is go onto the D-MYST The Agency's Facebook page, 'like' the page and then post a picture of a smoking celebrity look very unglamourous. There are already some funny pictures that have been posted! We will be running the competition until the 31st August and then we will choose three winners.

Happy drawing!

The effect packing has on young people.

Since joining D-MYST, it has opened my eyes to the tactics which tobacco companies deploy in order to sell their products to young people.

Tobacco companies deny that they are encouraging young people to smoke, and many people will say that the way in which tobacco companies market their products has little effect, but this couldn't be further from the truth, which is shown by the screenshot above taken by a D-MYST member. Plain packaging would definitely be a place to start in order to reduce smoking among young people.

Just finished our meeting today and we have a lot of activity planned for the summer in Liverpool! Look out for us and our stand at events across this city this summer and come and say hi to us!!!! We are hoping that you may be able to spot our logo in some unusual places too!

We've just got back after a successful fozen flash-mob in St Johns shopping centre. We all stood still for two minutes as shoppers walked by in astonishment, as if time had stood still. Look out in the papers this week for pictures of us, as well as updates on our Facebook wall and check out on Youtube for "frozen grand central" in order to get an idea of what we did

Hi it's Matty here,

We've had another good D-MYST meeting where we have discussed how we can get involved with the plain packaging consultation and have written a design brief for our design studio. We have decided our date for the flash mob to promote smokeoff, so watch out for that! We have also chosen some celebrities that we want to target to help us with our Smokeoff campaign
.

We had the chance to appear on City Talk's Breakfast Show today, so Sam and Alex went along and gave a fantastic LIVE interview about the SmokeOff campaign, plain packaging and the ways in which the tobacco industry manipulates young people! The interview went so well it was even replayed later on in the show! This was a great opportunity to let people know about us and of course we got a trip up the Radio City tower!

Another good meeting today! We have a great plan in place for SmokeOff - look out for us in Liverpool City Centre on Thursday 7th June!
The plain packaging consulation started on Monday so we had a guest speaker come to our meeting today to explain a bit more about that. We are keen to get involved in this and are putting together our action plan!
