Since Trident was set up, advertising and press activity have been at the core of its strategy to help keep members of the black community (and Londoners in general) informed about Trident issues, news and successes. The advertising helps to keep Trident issues at the forefront of people's minds. The 2006/07 campaign is shown below.
Roll Deep's latest track "Badman" is a message to those who might have been seduced by the glamour of guns. The video, directed by Jake Nava (famous for Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" video), highlights the grim reality of gun crime, its effects on people's lives and the endless cycle of violence it promotes.
