Driving Awareness of Peripheral Artery Disease

The rising number of Americans affected by peripheral artery disease (PAD) and a correlated lack of awareness among those at risk spurred four medical societies (Association of Black Cardiologists, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions, Society of Interventional Radiology, and Society for Vascular Surgery) to form the PAD Pulse Alliance. The group came to BRG Communications with a challenge to increase awareness about symptoms, risks, and screening for PAD.

BRG created a comprehensive strategy to increase awareness that included full campaign development, content creation, national media tour, media outreach, social media content, and influencer partnerships.

 

The results:

More than 5,300 media placements and more than 9 billion impressions including Health, Fierce Pharma, USA Today, BET and The Daily Flash.

Trained more than 25 physician spokespeople

Reached more than 2 million followers through robust social engagement including work with noted healthcare influencers and social ads.

Creating Awareness and Understanding of Cognitive Aging and Brain Health

As a leading organization funding brain health research, McKnight Brain Research Foundation (MBRF) engaged BRG to build a campaign to educate the public about what healthy cognitive aging looks like and how to help maintain a healthy brain. The team was further challenged to create a unique campaign that stood apart from strong public health initiatives around key disease states such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

To reinforce MBRF’s position as a leading research organization while also introducing the brand as a consumer resource, BRG developed a multifaceted campaign approach that included campaign name, brand identity and messaging strategy, microsite, custom research, education materials, and partnering with influencers to further drive engagement.

 

The results:

Extensive media visibility including 7,000+ placements and 1.5 billion impressions in the first six months

More than 60 expert interviews with publications including Time, HealthDay, CNN, Oprah Daily and others

Facebook followers increased by 25x in the first year
