Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC): Urban Estate

Merman shares Fred Scott’s most recent (and first with Merman London) piece of work for DHSC comprising of four different TV spots in a campaign for the government body, Department of Health and Social Care created by CD’s, Jane Briers and Dave Cornmell for Mullenlowe, produced by Merman London. This was Fred Scott’s first work for Merman London since signing during lockdown last year and following his BAFTA nominated documentary release ‘Being A Human Person’. The DHSC is responsible for government policy on health and adult social care matters. The spots were made in connection to the recent restrictions that were lifted in stages on 29th March and then April 12th. It encourages people to resist temptation and continue to stay socially distanced when meeting up with friends and finally being able to have drinks and eat out again in public places in stage two. There were different locations across London for each spot. The first spot ‘Urban Estate’ which Merman are featuring here was filmed at an estate in Peckham. One thing that has worked in its favour during lockdown is being able to film in an otherwise restrictive location.
