    AWARE. PREPARED. READY TO RESPOND. Designing, executing and measuring the impact of a multi-channel market development campaign to raise anaphylaxis awareness across unique target audiences. Network.com CREATING A TARGETED ANAPHYLAXIS AWARENESS CAMPAIGN STRATEGY In 2011, as a result of several high profile anaphylaxis fatalities in school, EpiPen® maker Mylan and it’s marketing partner Pfizer Inc made a strategic decision to embark on an initiative to raise severe allergy awareness and influence state policy makers to pass laws legalizing access to epinephrine auto injectors in places of learning. In addition to supporting policy changes in several states, Pfizer and Mylan were also looking to further develop the marketplace through unbranded alliance partner programs. In early 2012, they turned to DMW Network partners to design a precision targeted, direct response strategy that could be tracked, measured and adapted over a two-year campaign period. DMW Network, in conjunction with Pfizer and Mylan identified leading third-party partners from the employee health, workplace safety, medical, patient advocacy and education communities. Each partner provided direct access to highly qualified targets that could act as message ambassadors and influence school or workplace health policy. Over a two-year span, DMW Network partners executed a series of unbranded multi-media micro-campaigns, focused on anaphylaxis preparedness, awareness and emergency response. Each micro-campaign placed an emphasis on ensuring that families, schools and workplaces had access to epinephrine auto-injectors and that key personnel were trained to use them effectively in an anaphylaxis emergency.

RESTITUTION'S OUTLAWS ANDREW KULL* INTRODUCTION Restitution, meaning the law of unjust enrichment, is not sup- posed to be punitive in purpose or effect., The first Restatement of Restitution treats this proposition as axiomatic: Actions for restitution have for their primary purpose taking from the defendant and restoring to the plaintiff something to which the plaintiff is entitled, or if this is not done, causing the de- fendant to pay the plaintiff an amount which will restore the plain- tiff to the position in which he was before the defendant received the benefit. If the value of what was received and what was lost were always equal, there would be no substantial problem as to the amount of recovery, since actions of restitution are not punitive.2 As an observation this is much more true than false, and in the contexts where it is typically repeated it conveys a useful reminder.
