The challenge
STIs were rising among people over 65, many of whom saw condoms only as contraception.
The idea
Cheeky vegetable-illustrated packs, styled as seeds, launched at a north London garden centre during National Gardening Week, backed by billboards. Free condoms were offered through Relate's website, and the packaging could be planted to biodegrade.
Results
- Relate's free condom stock ran out quickly
