Challenge

The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) teamed up with United Health Care on a mission to improve public health outcomes in underserved communities. Goal 1: Boost vaccine confidence in Omaha through education and compassion. Goal 2: Take a proactive stand against diabetes through increased public awareness.

Solution

BCom partnered with the University of Nebraska Medical Center to produce a series of public health campaigns focused on improving outcomes in underserved communities. Our campaign strategies were optimized to dispel misconceptions by reaching each person where they are with succinct, useful and trustworthy information. Most importantly, we relayed our message using the power of trusted voices.

Combatting COVID-19 and influenza with targeted digital media strategy

Behind every COVID and flu vaccination administered is a unique human story. With a goal of persuading hesitant Nebraskans in under-vaccinated communities to seek immunization against COVID-19 and influenza, we set out to equip them with sound information and relay the personal experiences of peers they could trust. This campaign was tied together with one big idea: Live Life Uninterrupted.

Organizing a statewide stand against diabetes

Next, we leveraged the momentum of our successful trusted voices theme to inform Nebraskans about risks and resources associated with diabetes. This campaign served audience members with commonly overlooked facts about the warning signs of diabetes — persuading them to take UNMC’s online diabetes risk assessment and reclaim control over their own health outcomes. This multi-stage campaign primed the audience with the encouraging, powerful message “My Health Matters.” A 60-second video spot broadened the scope of the issue with the proclamation,“Nebraska’s Health Matters.” Tying the whole campaign together was the bold call to action, Take Charge of Your Health.

Meeting millions in their moment

The digital arm of each of our two consecutive campaigns was designed to meet people in their moment. Both communication strategies spanned traditional and digital media. Our message greeted commuters from billboards, in addition to postcards, flyers, fact sheets and even table tents.

Digital ads were served to specifically curated audiences through video and static creative across Facebook, Instagram, programmatic display, video pre-roll, CTV and Hulu.

We extended our message to non-English speakers by ensuring that materials were also translated to Spanish and served to Spanish-speaking Nebraskans.
