    Campaign of the year at the RMAs 2023: On top of everything this completely new direction did to create a distinct brand for the client we won not one but two prestigious awards.

Challenge

Social care is a crowded and competitive market. We needed to help Herts Care stand out. To go beyond the overused imagery we’ve all seen everyone use before.

  • 1
    Care ads that currently exist follow a formula. We knew we needed something completely different in order to stand out.
  • 2
    In order to engage with audiences, we knew we had to shake things up and create a campaign that changed the way people thought about their careers in care.
  • 3
    We had to channel an already fantastic ethos into the campaign. One that championed independence for citizens and those in care to live life to the absolute best.

Solution

How we collaborated

  • 1
    Our Employer Brand and Insight Team conducted extensive research that formed and underpinned a forward thinking and ambitious strapline: ‘Risk is good’. A simple sentiment that stood for everything the Herts Care Ethos spoke to.
  • 2
    Our Creative Team developed punchy, impactful copy and imagery that looked to challenge and change misperceptions around care and the people carers would be working with.
  • 3
    Our Media Team ensured an expansive and memorable campaign spread organically and effectively across the radio waves and digital landscape. From traditional to digital media, careers fairs and an award winning film, we were able to tug on heart strings with real personality and spirit.
