BEST SELLERS

 

Client: Kaiser Permanente

 

Description:   The client wanted to target specific health and political media in a few major cities for a selected national print, radio and online campaign. Client availability was extremely limited; we were given a two-week lead-time and a time frame of one week for major media publicity.

We launched the campaign in Washington, DC, with meetings with reporters from USA Today and Politico. As part of the campaign PTA's political division director, Sandy Trupp conducted an in-depth media messaging and brush up session in the PTA-DC offices that included live camera and on-screen play backs.
