Targeting Millennial Moms 

Mother and Son

OBJECTIVE: Testing and refining messaging 

Through our partnership with an  award-winning advertising agency, we were engaged to design a body of research for a leading hospital system. The research  focused on testing key campaign messages to understand what would best resonate with moms as they seek out healthcare for their children.

​

OUR ROLE 

Engaging with moms to discuss their children’s healthcare led to conversations about everything from broken bones to life-threatening illnesses like childhood cancer. These sensitive topics required our team to demonstrate empathy throughout the process, starting with our approach to designing the research, which was comprised of two bodies of work: a quantitative online survey and a qualitative study using an online bulletin board.

 

RESULT

The findings and insights from the research study were leveraged to support a campaign to grow unaided awareness and intent to use the brand/health system.  More specifically, it informed a communication and messaging strategy by audience segment and service line.
