backgrOundFollowing the largest clinical trial programme in chronic migraine, allergan was gearing up for their announcement that BOtOX® had been licensed by the MHra in the UK for prophylaxis of headaches in adults who have chronic migraine. It was the first license worldwide of BOtOX® for this indication, and also the first prophylactic (preventative) treatment to receive a specific license for patients with chronic migraine.

strategythe sell-in to media was embargoed until final approval wasreceived by both the MHra and allergan’s U.S. office. Giventhe indeterminate nature of campaign timing thereforematerials and team needed to be on stand-by for thegreen-light to liaise with the media.

markettiers4dc recommended the inclusion of various assets to ensure a robust package was presented to the broadcast media. this included access to representatives of the Migraine trust and Migraine action who could speak on behalf of the sufferers; to neurologists who could comment on the trials and effectiveness of the treatment; points to distinguish this launch against others that had been released earlier in the year and access to case studies who suffer from chronic migraine.

Given the time constraints allergan were working with on this particular story launch, and to ensure that news rooms had access to exciting visual content at the moment the news broke, it was crucial that content be collated in to B-roll format. this content was then repurposed for appropriate online outlets also.

resultsPost-embargo lifting, coverage ran across the radio network following studio interviews with Sky News radio, local BBc and commercial desks including BBc Solent, BBc Surrey, Heart east Midlands and radio aire as well as in weekend news bulletins across BBc radio 2 & 4. GMtV ran the story as an item in their bulletins using B-roll footage to provide context. Website coverage has included BBc News online, daily Mail online and Netdoctor to date. the total reach of the campaign was significant and totalled over 15 hours of airtime and demonstrated a fee rOI of 20:1.

backgrOundthe campaign hinged on the release of new healthcare guidelines issued to medical professionals concerning patients ability to swallow pills. Patients/carers tend to crush pills or open capsules to make them easier to swallow, but this can be dangerous and even fatal. Many are unaware of the risks or of liquid alternatives to the prescribed tablets.

strategyto achieve hard hitting coverage, we offered national tV and radio news the combination of dr david Wright, who led the team developing the new guidelines, and a case study, Sarah Fairclough, whose grandmother had died of a massive heart attack after Sarah had crushed her heart medication just as her nurses had. It was a courageous decision to speak out publicly and help prevent others from feeling the sadness and guilt she has felt.

resultsthis campaign was one of markettiers4dc’s most successful ever. GMtV and BBc Breakfast each covered the story at least 9 times. there was further coverage on the BBc1 One O’clock News, channel 4 and channel 5. the total tV audience alone was 23+ million. the BBc News’ Health Unit created a package that ran right across the news on radio 2, 4 and 5 and regional radio coverage was also achieved.

as a result hits on the rosemont website increased by 2000%, the new Guidelines were downloaded at least 9,000 times and for rosemont, November 2006 was a record month for sales of their liquid medication.

backgrOundNHS Organ donor register wanted to shout about their passing of 16 million mark on the list, but more importantly, passing the target set by Health Secretary, alan Milburn in 2001, to double the 8 million people on the Odr by 2010.

strategyaccess to case studies whose lives had been hugely affected by organ donors enabled tV to be key within the broadcast strategy, both regional and nationally. Melissa Bell, mother to the recent winner of X Factor alexandra Burke, was keen to be involved and was happy to have tV crew film her having her dialysis treatment which added to the appeal for national media.

as we had two NHS B&t spokes available, we were able to conduct radio and tV interviews at the same time, with tV crews coming to markettiers4dc office to interview lynda Hamlyn as Sally Johnson fielded the radio interviews.

radio interviews were crucial to securing mass coverage, the case studies were offered to their local stations whilst Pct stats about the number of people waiting on donor lists in each area gave the stations a strong headline.

resultsthe aim of the campaign was mass coverage – 279 pieces of coverage were secured across broadcast media. the 60 items of tV coverage – including BBc1, Sky News, 7 regional BBcs, 2 local ItVs and BBc News channel – demonstrated the value of case studies. the story ran across all BBc radio stations, including BBc radio 1, 2, 4 and 5. Overall the potential reach across radio was in excess of 44million. 33 websites ran the online editorial, with it featuring on the BBc Home Page throughout the day. the total cost of the campaign was less than £10k yet the rOI reached £1million.

BACKGROUNDWith 50% of glaucoma sufferers in the UK still undetected, Moorfields Eye Hospital aimed was to position themselves as the leader in glaucoma treatment and also encourage people to get their eyes tested. Moorfields Eye Hospital used World Glaucoma Day to launch a revolutionary new screening test for glaucoma that was hoped to prevent blindness for millions of people worldwide.

STRATEGYmarkettiers4dc was given access all areas to the new diagnostic equipment and the Glaucoma Unit at Moorfields Eye Hospital to create B Roll footage. The provision of this content to TV media stopped them needing to visit the hospitals themselves, therefore limiting the amount of crew impacting on the day to day of the glaucoma unit. Interviews were also conducted with Ted Garway-Heath, Head of the Glaucoma Unit, and a glaucoma patient being tested with the new equipment.

RESULTSOn launch day the footage ran twice within the BBC London Today breakfast bulletins.

The inclusion of this tactic greatly extended the reach of the campaign with the feature running across 14 websites, with a combined potential audience reach of over 100 million. Highlights included – BBC News, Channel 4 News, Daily Express, MSN, Saga and Over 50s. interviews were secured with IRN, LBC News 1152, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC South West and BBC WM.

backgrOundthe NHS estimates that between 3 and 6 million people in the UK have some degree of urinary incontinence, with “major faecal incontinence” affecting a smaller proportion of this number. Medtronic wanted to encourage people living with incontinence to seek proper diagnosis and treatment, not to suffer in silence and to demonstrate that there are treatments available for severe incontinence.

strategyFor something that is such a personal, sensitive and for some, embarrassing topic - targeting the public through the internet is an effective approach as it offers an interactive and anonymous platform to share information. leader in medical technology Medtronic were able to harness the power of broadband and the worldwide accessibility of the internet to create a live, streamed, interactive Web tV programme which would create the platform to discuss key developments relating to incontinence and relevant medical technology, to their invited audience (potentially including GPs, health care professionals and more). colorectal Surgeon Mr andrew clarke alongside Interstim patient Wendy Wakefield were the faces of the campaign – providing both the expert and patient / personal sides of this very sensitive issue.

resultsthis campaign was an awareness raising exercise, and with incontinence sometimes related to pregnancy and childbirth, obesity, weak pelvic muscles, diabetes, prostate cancer, bladder cancer or stones, neurological disorders and other factors.

targeted coverage was achieved on sites including 50 connect, My Prime, eParenting, Family Health Guide, Female First and more.

backgrOundNpower commissioned markettiers4dc to conduct research to prove that the cold snap was a cause of family disputes and that the optimum temperature for the home – and also for family harmony - is 21c.

strategyto capitalize on the newsworthiness of the Winter Olympics, we advised that eddy the eagle - a man who knows more than most people about dealing with freezing temperatures - be the main spokesperson for the campaign alongside parenting coach lorraine thomas. a combination of radio and online video activity was recommended to enable npower to engage with its core audience of parents. an audio feature was also included in the strategy to maximize coverage alongside radio competitions offering parents the chance to win leisure vouchers to keep their kids entertained.

resultsa total of 111 pieces of coverage were secured across radio and online, with key radio coverage secured on talKSPOrt, 97.4 rock FM, XFM london, Kerrang National and Heart Nottingham. the online coverage was extremely targeted with content running across a number of parenting websites, as well as larger sites such as aOl, the Independent and the Sun.
