New Kaiser Permanente Ads Encourage Consumers to Find Their 'Reason, Partner and Thing'

September 13, 2011

Kaiser Permanente has launched a new advertising campaign to help consumers achieve mind, body and spirit by putting the tools to do so in their hands. Created by marketing communications company Campbell Ewald, the work is based on research that found the key to sticking with an exercise regimen is motivation, and that occurs when consumers activate three components, finding the reason, partner and activities that move them to a healthier lifestyle.

“This new, engaging work elevates the brand message from health advocacy to health activation to motivate consumers while continuing to convey Kaiser Permanente’s commitment to the total health of its members and the communities they serve,” said Christine Paige, senior vice president of Brand Marketing at Kaiser Permanente. “Improving one’s health is highly personalized and Kaiser Permanente wants to provide the tools and resources to not only help people get started but stay with their health and wellness programs.”

The new work taps into the human truth that we put off until tomorrow what we should do today and provides the next logical step toward achieving a healthy lifestyle of activation. For example, in “Find Your Thing,” the light-hearted spot features a well-intentioned health “newbie” as she endures a trial and error process of finding the exercise that fits her best.

“People have enough information on how to live well. What they need is the motivation to take the first step. This campaign provides a real and honest approach to help them get started,” said Mark Simon, chief creative officer of Campbell Ewald. “The evolution of the message was the next step in helping the consumer unlock the motivation that gets them on the path to better health, while still maintaining the brand personality.” The campaign continues to use the Kaiser Permanente “Thrive” tagline, introduced in 2004.

The integrated campaign launched across media channels in regional markets on September 12, with television ads airing in spot markets on shows such as Dancing with the Stars, Glee, Grey’s Anatomy, Modern Family and Private Practice. Print ads will run in regional editions of Better Homes & Gardens, Cooking Light, Sunset, Time, Newsweek, and National Geographic among others. Web ads will appear on sites such as foodnetwork.com, meredith.com, aol.com, gsn.com and tasteofhome.com. Mobile ads will appear on sites such as pandora.com, mapmyfitness.com, and graystripe.com. Print ads will appear in regional editions of publications such as Time and Newsweek. The campaign also features vibrant and engaging out-of-home placements that include bus wraps, billboards and food trucks. An array of eight radio spots that further engage listeners in fun and thought-provoking ways about the components of motivation will also run throughout the Kaiser Permanente footprint.

Campbell Ewald has been Kaiser Permanente's advertising agency of record since 2003.

UMHS Launches Ad Campaign for New University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital

September 6, 2011

University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) launched a new campaign to announce the opening of the C. S. Mott Children's Hospital. Created by marketing communications company Campbell Ewald, the campaign drives consumers online to view 12 new in-depth videos that focus on patients featured in the campaign and their experience with UMHS doctors and staff. From Jake who was born with portions of his tibia missing and has been fitted with over nine different prosthetic legs to Ariana who is living and breathing with an expandable, titanium rib - these heartwarming videos take viewers through a timeline of touching accounts of patients' procedures, recovery and triumphs.

"This new, engaging campaign provides the consumer a window into the patient lives and stories of the incredible care they received that is the hallmark of doctors and staff at the University of Michigan Health System," said UMHS Director of Marketing Dave Brudon. "Their dedication, skill and compassion are improving lives today, while their innovations are paving the way to better treatments and cures for tomorrow. That's really the message the campaign captures and drives home."

As part of the overall "Michigan Difference" creative, the campaign features the iconic and inspiring music of the University of Michigan's fight song alongside impactful imagery to showcase new faces and stories that portray the Michigan Difference. The work -- which includes TV, radio, print and online videos -- describes the relationships and partnerships that grow between patients, doctors and staff at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, while capturing moments within stories and bringing them to life. At the end of the TV spots, viewers are invited to visit mottchildren.org to view the online videos and discover more about the new C. S. Mott Children's Hospital. A new Mott Children's Hospital logo, also created by CE, is revealed and features a child's wooden block with the iconic University of Michigan "M" letter on the front in maize and blue.

Mark Simon, chief creative officer of Campbell Ewald said, "We developed the campaign, and in particular the videos, to take a more personal, in-depth look at the impact the entire hospital has had on the lives of these patients and their families. The stories of these 'little victors' and the people who dedicate their lives to helping them is what 'Hail to the Victors' is all about."

The television spots and online videos will debut on September 3 during the first University of Michigan home football game vs. Western Michigan University that begins at 3:30 p.m. on ABC-TV. Radio and print, which highlights the newly designed hospital and its features, will break on September 5, with TV also running locally on primetime cable and network programming. Campbell Ewald has been advertising agency of record for University of Michigan Health System since 2005.
