“Inspired by You”

[vc_row][vc_column][qodef_custom_font font_family="Montserrat" font_size="24" line_height="34" font_weight="700" letter_spacing="-0.4" text_align="left" content_custom_font="An Online Home for Residential Design" color="#222222"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text] Challenge: Hank Page and his design team had no problem building relationships and business by word of mouth. That said, they needed a web presence other than Instagram where prospective clients could quickly understand what sets them apart. Solution: Build an easy-to-navigate website with a minimalist design aesthetic that would not clash with the viewer’s design sense and allow the team’s work to speak for itself.

“A Vermonter’s Path”

[vc_row][vc_column][qodef_custom_font font_family="Montserrat" font_size="24" line_height="34" font_weight="700" letter_spacing="-0.4" text_align="left" content_custom_font="Medicare solutions for your neck of the woods" color="#222222"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text] Challenge: Vermonter’s aging into Medicare are faced with many options and by human nature, are likely to procrastinate in deciding what to do about health insurance. BCBSVT Medicare Supplement plan options must also compete with lower-cost Medicare Advantage plans.   Solution: We capitalized on the brand’s long history of Vermonters serving Vermonters using regional imagery and new theme focusing on insurance for “your neck of the woods.” Direct response best practices also played an important role, including strong promises with emotional and rational benefits.

“What Matters”

[vc_row][vc_column][qodef_custom_font font_family="Montserrat" font_size="24" line_height="34" font_weight="700" letter_spacing="-0.4" text_align="left" content_custom_font="An open enrollment campaign that checks all the boxes" color="#222222"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text] Challenge:  Motivating consumers to switch plans during the annual open enrollment period often comes down price. While almost all consumers in North Carolina are aware of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) brand, many still view their products as expensive.   Solution:  We focused on the affordability of plans available for as little as a $0 premium that “check all the boxes that matter to you”. The campaign also highlighted exclusive benefits that come with choosing Blue Cross NC over others at the same price point. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

“Ready for Next”

[vc_row][vc_column][qodef_custom_font font_family="Montserrat" font_size="24" line_height="34" font_weight="700" letter_spacing="-0.4" text_align="left" content_custom_font="Opening doors to a new frontier" color="#222222"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text] Challenge: While Broadridge is well-known as a leading provider of communications solutions in the financial sector, their expansion into healthcare required a lift in awareness and interest among the C-suite.   Solution: Capture the attention of decision-makers with a direct appeal to their business needs and objectives. This dimensional box mailing, combined with follow-up calls, opened the door to new high-value business relationships.   [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]  ...

“The Full Truth”

[embed]http://vimeo.com/214730681[/embed]   [vc_row][vc_column][qodef_custom_font font_family="Montserrat" font_size="24" line_height="34" font_weight="700" letter_spacing="-0.4" text_align="left" content_custom_font="Seeing the full picture in Medicare health plans." color="#222222"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text]   Challenge: The Medicare Advantage Annual Election Period represents a brief marketing window during which consumers can switch Medicare health plans. Encouraging consumers to consider BCBSNC was complicated by fierce competition including lower-cost, $0-premium plans.   Solution: "The Full Truth" DRTV spot encouraged viewers to look beyond price alone and consider the larger "Truer" picture. Our value proposition highlights how BCBSNC gives Medicare-eligible residents more for their dollar — more stability, coverage and local support. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

“Be Ready”

[vc_row][vc_column][qodef_custom_font font_family="Montserrat" font_size="24" line_height="34" font_weight="700" letter_spacing="-0.4" text_align="left" content_custom_font="Life happens fast. Be Ready for Anything." color="#222222"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text] Challenge: Young adults and low-income populations remain largely uninsured even though both groups typically qualify for subsidies that make health insurance quite affordable. Young adults assume they can live without it and low-income groups assume coverage is too expensive.   Solution: Tackle the misconceptions with a visually arresting and thought-provoking campaign that inspires our audiences to think differently about health insurance.   [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

“Discovering ILORI”

[vc_row][vc_column][qodef_custom_font font_family="Montserrat" font_size="24" line_height="34" font_weight="700" letter_spacing="-0.4" text_align="left" content_custom_font="Discovery of a new luxury" color="#222222"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text] Challenge: On top of an economic downturn, the launch of ILORI boutiques for luxury sunglasses faced all of the typical challenges for introducing a new brand, including lack of awareness and steep infrastructure investments. Direct Choice was tasked with generating consumer sales and relationships on a tight budget.   Solution: Over the course of six years, Direct Choice has approached the challenge with equal parts creativity and database expertise. Precise consumer modeling based on an extensive in-house list allowed us to immediately generate foot traffic and build relationships. A communications toolkit was quickly created, eventually growing to include glossy look-books, designer-based email campaigns, store sales and event marketing, loyalty card programs, fulfillment and redemption programs.   [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

“Power to the Parents”

[vc_row][vc_column][qodef_custom_font font_family="Montserrat" font_size="24" line_height="34" font_weight="700" letter_spacing="-0.4" text_align="left" content_custom_font="Better fit. More options." color="#222222"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text] Challenge: Parents of new college students are often overwhelmed by a fire hose of information streaming at them. They feel overburdened as well-established student loan programs and banks compete for their attention.   Solution: We capitalized on the simplicity and flexibility of College Avenue’s Parent Loan offering. The solution provided by our mailer was immediate: If you have a few minutes and a smartphone, you can apply for and customize a loan.   [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

“Future Proof”

[vc_row][vc_column][qodef_custom_font font_family="Montserrat" font_size="24" line_height="34" font_weight="700" letter_spacing="-0.4" text_align="left" content_custom_font="On the fast track with confidence" color="#222222"][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text] Challenge: During the Annual Open Enrollment for individual health insurance, member retention is key. Highmark needed to streamline their annual renewal process in a way that would drive early decisions and create an easy path to re-enrollment.   Solution: While promoting a simplified enrollment process that included personalized landing pages, our multi-touch campaign reinforced the added confidence and empowerment that comes with Highmark’s health plans.
