The Problem
UHA Health Insurance needed an integrated marketing approach to enhance brand awareness, strengthen customer engagement, and generate leads. The annual advertising campaign lacked cohesion, with ads treated as standalone deliverables, low employee engagement, and minimal internal and external brand alignment.
The Solution
The “UHA Connections” integrated marketing campaign, led by Stephanie Danielson (Dureg) in her role as Content Development Specialist, effectively extended the reach of UHA’s messaging through strategic storytelling and diverse deliverables. The campaign encompassed project management, strategic planning, branding, and lead generation to support UHA’s marketing initiatives.
