Healthcare advertising that people won’t tune out in the first few seconds is the goal. And when you’re telling people about Primary Care docs you’re not able to lean into the dramatic moments of life or broach the frontiers of medicine. You’re talking about the everyday stuff, the high blood pressure, the aches and pains, the rashes. Will and Kay crafted these charming scenarios that incorporated those ailments into modern life with food trucks, mega grandes and podcast bingers. Scenarios that people can relate to and laugh with. Our clients were not at all comfortable with using humor as our approach and thought seriously about killing these concepts on three different occasions. We were able to work through their concerns and couldn’t be more appreciative of the trust that Sherri and her team put in us, our Director Vincent Peone and O’Connor casting. This campaign has been so fun to bring to life and we’re sure that it will resonate with our audience.
