Let’s be real, nothing kills a vibe faster than the thought of an unplanned pregnancy. So before life could interrupt permanently, we decided to kill the mood first.

We took classic nursery rhymes, remixed them into safe-s*x reminders and dropped them right where South Africans least expected them: mid-Tinder swipe and inside romantic playlists. From ‘Mary Was a Little Late’ to ‘Jack and Jill Went Off the Pill’, we used a little strategic discomfort to make safe s*x impossible to ignore.

By showing up exactly where South Africans go to find each other, the campaign put safety back on the menu for over 113,000 singles. Over 16,000 hook-ups were cockblocked in the process. Honestly, we call that a public service.
