NHS Somerset: Protecting your squad on Twitch.

Teapot helped NHS Somerset engage young men on HPV vaccination by launching a gaming-first campaign on Twitch, driven by empathy and innovation.

The challenge.

Reaching 18–25-year-old males with public health messaging isn’t easy, especially on a topic like HPV vaccination. Traditional digital channels were underperforming, and this audience was largely disengaged. NHS Somerset needed a creative intervention that felt native, not nagging.

The solution.

Teapot proposed a shift in both mindset and medium: talk to young men where they actually are. On Twitch!

We built a campaign around a powerful behavioural insight: this audience is fiercely loyal to their squads, both in-game and IRL. So we anchored the message in gaming logic with the strapline: “Protect your squad. Get vaccinated.”

This wasn’t a one-way broadcast. We activated targeted pre-roll video ads and partnered with streamers to deliver messaging organically through live content. The creative was fast-paced, familiar and visually aligned with the Twitch ecosystem, no corporate vibes, just strategic relevance.

The outcome.

The campaign didn’t just land, it stuck. With a 94.7% video completion rate and over 328k completions, the message was heard loud and clear. More importantly, the audience didn’t bounce. They stayed. They watched. And they understood.

It proved that empathy-led creative, when delivered in the right context, can turn passive viewers into active participants.
