NoSmokingRoom CHAD Pfizer
Public Relations Objective:
Educate young girls about smoking prevention and cessation to support Pfizer’s two-year medical education grant we won on behalf of Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.

How We Succeeded:
The critical components of our creative strategy were educational and interactive messages that spoke “with girls” and not “to girls”. To generate the creative strategy and key messages, we forged discussions about smoking with young girls residing in the high tobacco economies of Bowling Green Kentucky and Bloomington Indiana and affiliated with Girls, Inc. The discussions emerged through an impact workshop we created which resulted in the girls writing letters to their family members who smoked. Ultimately, Girls Inc was central to the formation of an advisory board who advised us on the creation of the interactive web site called The No Smoking Room (www.nosmokingroom.org).

The site is currently being evaluated at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center for its ability to prevent young girls from smoking. Further creative development is underway to influence moms who smoke and to connect them with this web site for their young daughters.

The case study was presented at the 2009 PRSA Health Academy Meeting in Washington, DC

HBA
Business Objective:
Create a pilot interactive high impact educational "talk show style" video that would drive corporate sponsorship, ensure retention of current members, and drive new members to this high profile healthcare industry association. Obtain metrics to measure viability of video to drive revenue.

How We Succeeded:
We developed a strong volunteer team within this pharmaceutical industry association and worked with the 2008 Leadership Conference team to identify, enroll and interview industry leaders as guests in this "talk show style" video series. Through strong organizational and collaborative team strategies, we secured key industry leaders from Wyeth, Sanofi Aventis, King Pharmaceuticals, Eisai, Cephalon, Genentech, and Abbott to provide their own "pearls of wisdom" based on the Leadership Conference theme.

The series offers practical and relevant insights on what makes a successful leader, the engaging commentary and candid conversations contain "pearls of wisdom" that have driven viewership and assisted in securing metrics for a 2010 business case.

In partnership with the leading pharmaceutical industry association trade magazine, PharmaVoice, we merchandised the participants’ comments in editorial and promoted the final produced 2-minute videos on the HBA web site.

The 3-part video snippets are also on You Tube, with 187 other non-competing organizations dedicated to building women leaders.
Illuminating Leaders

NWHRC NAFC
Public Relations Objective:
Create awareness and advocacy for a little known and widely misunderstood women’s bladder condition: stress urinary incontinence.

How We Succeeded:
KCHC broadened the discussion from one focused on urinary incontinence to one that embraced the psychosocial impact of the condition on women’s quality of life. The story was developed with real women and their healthcare professionals (urologists and Ob/Gyns) in conversation about how the condition impacts women’s lives, from sexuality to fitness.

This pre-launch story was conveyed in an interactive health forum attended by the top editors of women’s magazines as well as major newspapers. We earned millions of consumer, health and medical trade unbranded media impressions with key placements in the New York Times, MORE Magazine and Good Housekeeping, among others. We also garnered trade media support in Urology and Ob-Gyn Journals.
