Producing Powerful Testimonials in a Pandemic
The pandemic has been difficult for everyone, but especially on those struggling with opioid substance use disorders. AvreaFoster helped BHG, a national treatment center, step up its outreach efforts through a patient testimonial video campaign — contactless, of course. Using before-and-after style video clips promoted through digital advertising, users were directed to market-specific landing pages to hear patients speak more about their recovery journey. The tremendous response from these individuals and the stories they shared reminds us that anything is possible — even in a pandemic. Watch a short clip here.

Summer Internship Program, WFH Style
Two TCU interns are in the house for crAFt, AvreaFoster’s summer internship program. Literally, in the house. Their houses to be exact.
Just like the rest of the AvreaFoster team, our interns are working from home during the pandemic.
For the past 15 years, AvreaFoster has delivered an internship program that provides valuable, hands-on experience in marketing, strategy and branding. Rather than cancel the program this year, we rolled up our sleeves, got creative and built a new and improved program that fits within our current business environment. Working remotely, we’re still able to offer an authentic look into agency life, by showing how the team at AvreaFoster plans, creates, produces and manage workloads. This real-world (albeit remote) experience adds a whole new dimension to learning.
Today, we welcomed Caroline and Lizzie to the program with a virtual breakfast video call, complete with handwritten welcome messages to make them feel right at home. We wish our 2020 crAFt interns the best with us this summer, and cannot wait to see what the future holds for them! And maybe we’ll even see them in person before the summer is over.

Exercising a Strong Social Strategy
ABC Financial (abcfinancial.com) is a premier provider of technology and related services to over 8,000 health clubs. AvreaFoster was supporting the preparation for ABC’s participation in the preeminent industry convention when COVID-19 intervened. Canceled. Our work, of course, was put on hold; but our client, ABC, decided to assemble a resourceful internal team and go to work in a unique direction during this interim period.
The closing of gyms and fitness clubs globally generated an impressive flexing of marketing muscles from the ABC team, focusing their entire marketing outreach delivered solely as a social media campaign. How? Their clients were introduced to relevant financial support channels. A #StrongerTogether social campaign brought their industry together with a united mission of addressing the pandemic. And #FeelGoodFriday was launched as a platform of collaboration regarding the readiness of reopening. “Act fast and communicate often” was somewhat of a mantra for this optimization of social media as their primary communication effort. And it was obviously a mantra for success — increasing engagement beyond 400%.
Congratulations to the ABC team for truly impressive, meaningful offerings in the spirit of helping their colleagues! Follow @abcfinancialservices on Facebook.

Grand Rounds Unveils Interactive Tool
Grand Rounds, a leading health services company, uses technology to match patients with suitable primary care physicians.

The website features an interactive map displaying physician quality per county, giving healthcare analysts and benefits providers an at-a-glance overview of physician quality by county. To generate the map, Grand Rounds employs proprietary algorithms using clinical and background data to predict physician performance and identify PCPs who are most likely to deliver high-quality care consistently. AvreaFoster and Grand Rounds collaborated to organize and structure the data in dynamic and accessible formats. Additional insight and leadership around physician quality are in development for Q3 and Q4 of 2018.
