DRC puts Nice Day campaign in cinema

The Disability Rights Commission rolls out a new cinema campaign, created McCann Erickson, which seeks to address the abuse and bullying suffered by those with learning difficulties.

A 60-second commercial entitled “Nice Day” breaks in cinemas across Britain next week and uses the strapline “Are we taking the dis”. It follows up on last year’s national press, cinema and poster activity rolled out last year.

It has been directed by Paul Gay, with a voiceover by Meera Syal.
