«In an approach that is well-evidenced and articulated, Hill and Thompson-Hayes critique “awareness culture” and propose a new communication model for enacting change in a digital age. More than a complementary text on health campaigns, this much-needed book addresses and seeks to remedy existing gaps in literature and practice.»
