THE SITUATION:
Define what it means to have “a culture of well-being” and bring the Tailwind wellness brand mission to life — equating a heathier workforce with a better bottom line. Uplifting and engaging storytelling, combined with whimsical animation, captured all the reasons why firms should engage with Tailwind, Cigna’s Health and Wellness marketing agency — and to imagine the possibilities.
THE IMPACT:
Tailwind’s health engagement initiatives with Cigna clients doubled following rebranding launch. Prior to the rebrand, the agency struggled to find its voice. The rebrand gave internal stakeholders at both Tailwind and Cigna succinct new ways to talk about why firms should engage with Tailwind and embrace wellness initiatives, along with measurable data that supported wellness program implementation.

NFL Q5 | Branding, Print, DM, Digital, Event, Email
THE SOLUTION:
The career lifespan of an NFL player averages 3 years. This sobering stat was the inspiration for NFL Q5, a new wellness brand under the Total Wellness umbrella. NFL Q5 gave players and families key life-building skills —preparing players for life after Q4 when there are no bright lights and no one calling the plays. Before, during and after football.
THE IMPACT:
Immediately after launch of NFL Q5 at Superbowl 2013, wellness engagement spiked for both player and family. Positive press for the league and NFL Executive Leadership, combined with high program participation, led directly to the rollout of the NFL Healthy Babies program.

THE SITUATION:
NFL players were prepared for the field, not fatherhood. Redefining what it means to be a man and giving players permission to be strong and tender dovetailed with broader wellness messaging. The program gave player and family the tools and support needed before, during and after pregnancy.
IMPACT:
Increased engagement with players and families. Forging stronger relationships off the field led to better relationships on the field—and players with heads in the game.

Ad Campaign | Print, DM, Digital, Social

In The Next Room, or The Vibrator Play: A quirky historical fact set the stage for this play about repressed sexuality, motherhood and marriage in the Victorian era.

Parent Education and Support Program | Print, Video, Email, Web, DM
THE SITUATION:
RSV disease is the #1 cause of hospitalizations for all babies under one year of age. Babies born prematurely are at a much higher risk yet most parents are unaware of disease and treatment options.
A series of monthly shots of MedImmune’s Synagis (palivizumab) provides protection to this vulnerable population during RSV season.
The multi-channel effort was designed to educate parents about RSV disease, to encourage parents to speak with their pediatrician about treatment options and to enroll in Helping Hand — a support program for parents of premature babies at high-risk of the disease. The educational site featured inspiring stories from Mom’s as well as an interactive tool (Germ-O-Vision) that made parents aware of germs hiding in plain sight. Unbranded RSV disease awareness videos appeared on in-office and hospital TV monitors.
The Helping Hand program kept parents on track with appointment and monthly shot reminders (email, text message, or mail) along with tips to keep their baby safe during the RSV season.
THE IMPACT:
Reduced hospital admissions and fewer health complications. Parents aware of the risks were better prepared to keep their babies protected during RSV season. The program was largely unbranded making it suitable for managed care settings. Branded materials were created for healthcare professionals and parents of infants on treatment.

Davita | DM | Cigna Branding
THE SITUATION:
How do you encourage an employee population at high-risk of future healthcare complications to work with a healthcare coach? It’s simple: play to everyone’s vanity. Davita team members were approached in a fun and humorous way without any mention of any underlying conditions ( weight, diabetes, smoking) that would trigger privacy concerns. Once an employee engaged with a coach, a wellness plan was put in place that was tailored to the unique needs of the individual.
THE IMPACT:
Increased engagement with coaches, lower medical costs, and better employee well-being.

The solution: create a web-based tool and digital experience that allowed employees to self-serve. Meet “Izzy” — one-part pixels and one-part HR expert. “Izzy” generated custom reports based on input, providing employees with enrollment information and status/deadlines regarding eligibility for health discounts.
THE IMPACT:
The program empowered employees to better manage health, earn health discounts and stay engaged with their health plan.

HUMIRA | myHUMIRA program | Print, DM, Email
THE SITUATION:
It’s widely known that patients enrolled in support programs have better health outcomes. Less known is the positive impact on a physician’s practice. Convincing doctors of myHUMIRA’s dual benefit to both patient and practice required a nuanced approach. Four :15s drive-to-booth video teasers appeared in-room and on hotel monitors at healthcare conferences, encouraging conference attendees (physicians) to drop by the Abbott Booth. Each spot focused on one benefit to the physician’s practice. Since spots were unbranded, fair balance messaging unnecessary.
