Excerpts
loveLife's Strategy
loveLife positioned itself as a lifestyle brand with which young people could
associate "healthy positive living". It aimed to become a part of popular youth
culture and gel with its target audience. The challenge before loveLife was to
change the deeply entrenched values and attitudes prevalent among adolescents
regarding gender relations, sex, and sexuality...
The Media Campaign
To sustain the interest and awareness generated through its outdoor media
campaign, loveLife started a print and broadcast program to inform adolescents
about a number of relevant issues. It adopted an 'edutainment' approach, where
educational or awareness content was placed in entertaining formats and messages
during the programs. loveLife made generous use of sports, talk shows on radio,

call centers for information, help, and advice, while they could
approach Y-centres and NAFCI clinics for information and advice at the
regional or local level (Refer to Figure III for loveLife's community
outreach flowchart, and Exhibit VIII for some outreach initiatives of
loveLife)... |
An Innovative Marketing Program
loveLife's marketing program was widely appreciated by many experts and
prominent personalities. On September 28, 2002, loveLife was hailed as a model
for HIV prevention among youth, by former president of South Africa Nelson
Mandela, and former president of the US, Bill Clinton...
