1 Day a Week Campaign for Bradford Community

We worked with Mosodi to create a campaign to encourage active travel and promote a healthier lifestyle in Bradford’s diverse communities by motivating residents to walk, cycle, or run instead of using their cars for just one day each week..

Sicocreative needed to create a campaign that resonated with this audience, encouraged participation, and highlighted the health benefits of active travel in a way that felt inclusive and engaging.

To bring the 1DAW (One Day a Week) campaign to life, Sicocreative designed a series of playful, character-based illustrations centered around the number 1—symbolising one day of active travel per week. Each character reflected a different mode of active travel, including walking, running, and cycling, making the campaign relatable and visually appealing.

We adapted these designs across multiple platforms to create a cohesive message that could reach the community in various ways:

  • Posters: Vibrant, multilingual posters were designed to be displayed in public spaces like community centers, shops, and places of worship to ensure maximum visibility.
  • Social Media: Engaging graphics and motivational slogans were shared on social platforms, encouraging residents to get involved, while also being mindful of privacy sensitivities within the community.
  • Website: A dedicated campaign webpage was developed, featuring the illustrations, information on the health benefits of active travel, and details on how to participate in the initiative, including a photo competition offering incentives for community members.

The 1DAW campaign successfully highlighted the physical and mental health benefits of active travel, using eye-catching, culturally relevant visuals and accessible messaging. The use of character illustrations not only made the campaign fun and relatable but also provided a visual connection to the “one day” commitment.

By targeting Bradford’s communities with thoughtful, localised design, Sicocreative helped make the idea of choosing active travel more approachable, impactful, and enjoyable for all.

 

“We are delighted with the campaign. As always SicoCreative’s work is high quality, effective and eye catching. We worked closely together to come up with a campaign that provided solutions to some key problems and the campaign is now inspiring people across Bradford.”
