“On Any Given Day” Debuts on PBS

As a sponsor of PBS’ stellar programming, NASW’s “On Any Given Day” video was played in between shows. “On Any Given Day” is a video created as part of the National Social Work Public Education Campaign to educate the public about social work. This 5-minute video features three social workers in various practice settings.

This sponsorship of PBS programming enables our message to reach decision makers in the family, as well as show support for the important programming on PBS.

On Any Given Day” aired 941 times on 137 public broadcasting stations representing a wide range of markets, including top markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia. The total viewership for this sponsorship opportunity is more than 4 million people.

Because of the hard work of NASW and Crosby Marketing Communications to create this video, “On Any Given Day” was honored as the Best in Maryland for Audio/Video
Programs at the PRSA Best of Maryland Awards.
