    A Humourous Way to Deal With A Sensitive Subject
    What’s a way to deal with apprehension and unease? Humor. With the help of Derrick Henry, the Tennessee Titans and some fun scenarios, that’s exactly what we did for this campaign that presaged the rollout of the COVID vaccines.

    Wear a Mask Campaign

    Real Reasons to Protect Yourself and Others
    We developed a dynamic approach to content creation and media planning, allowing for nimble shifts in messaging and media allocations to address evolving COVID-19 challenges. “Face It. Masks Fight COVID-19.” guided Tennesseans toward mask adoption through advertising rather than government mandates. By adapting content and strategy in real-time, we ensured effective communication across diverse audiences.

    COVID-19 Information Hub

    A Groundbreaking, Lifesaving Initiative in the Fight Against the Pandemic
    We rapidly developed a precedent-setting state-wide COVID-19 website to provide fast, reliable information within three clicks or less. It delivered real-time case data, hospitalization rates and testing site details through automated Tableau visualizations and a geolocated map. Designed for accessibility, the site included Spanish translations and features for users with disabilities. Serving individuals, families, educators, healthcare professionals and business leaders, it centralizes essential resources, making critical COVID-19 information easy to access and understand.
