In a fast-paced advertising and marketing environment, creativity, deadlines, and client expectations drive every hour. Yet in the midst of brainstorming, shoots, and client presentations, the importance of emergency preparedness often goes unnoticed. That’s why VML Thailand (part of the WPP creative network) partnered with Bangkok First Aid to deliver a tailored First Aid CPR AED course—equipping their team with critical life-saving skills that matter both in and out of the office.
Why First Aid & CPR AED Training Matters in the Advertising World
Creative agencies like VML operate across studios, offices, field shoots, events, and on-location activations. Within these varied settings, medical emergencies or accidents—though rare—can happen anytime. Some relevant risks include:
- Allergic reactions or asthma attacks during shoots
- Fainting, dehydration, or heat stress during outdoor activations
- Cardiac emergencies, medical collapses
- Cuts, bumps, or injuries behind the scenes (e.g. set building, handling gear)
-
Choking incidents, seizures, or sudden loss of consciousness
Having staff trained in CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) usage means responses can occur immediately—in the first precious minutes before paramedics arrive.
What the Bangkok First Aid Course Covered for VML
To make training highly relevant to VML’s operational and creative contexts, Bangkok First Aid customized the program to cover:
- CPR techniques for adults, children, and infants
- Hands-on use of AED devices in simulated cardiac arrest scenarios
- Response to choking, seizures, allergic shock, and unconsciousness
- First aid for bleeding, cuts, fractures, and sprains
- Environmental emergencies (heat exhaustion, dehydration)
- Scenario drills set in agency/studio/field settings
- Group discussion on emergency protocols, rapid response plans & chain of help
Participants practiced intensively under realistic conditions to build confidence and readiness in a high-stakes workplace.
