Research notes

US-SC. Discovered 2026-10-22 for #17. Multi-substance parent campaign with a fentanyl spot; included in the opioid inventory for that reason. Unverified (no page found that credits the agency): no agency named. Launch date and federal funding come from the SC Daily Gazette brief as summarised in search results (page returned 403, not opened). All executions are embedded on openconversationsc.com (fetched 2026-10-22) and confirmed via YouTube oEmbed; years unknown except where the channel RSS feed gave one. Procurement search 2026-10-22: Chernoff Newman held DAODAS's media campaign contract (SOR 2.0 report, 2021) and made Just Plain Killers and Embrace Recovery SC; possible vendor. No SOR 3.0 report or award naming Open Conversation SC was found; South Carolina's procurement and spending sites were not searchable by vendor/campaign here.
