Background
Addressing a Pandemic in Pittsburgh
In the wake of the global COVID-19 pandemic, cities worldwide faced unprecedented challenges in health communication and public safety. Pittsburgh was no exception. As COVID-19 swept through communities, Pittsburgh found itself grappling with the need to rapidly disseminate crucial public health information. The urgency to communicate effective messages about vaccine availability and the benefits of vaccination was at an all-time high. Our challenge was clear: devise a strategy that would reach every corner of the city swiftly and convincingly.

This case study showcases our approach, the innovative solutions we employed, and the impactful results we achieved, enhancing public health outreach in Pittsburgh.

Crafting an Impactful Marketing Campaign
The core challenge was to create a comprehensive marketing campaign that could cut through misinformation, communicate the critical importance of vaccination, and inform residents of where and how they could get vaccinated and lastly emphasize the vaccine’s role in combating the pandemic and paving the way back to normalcy.The goal was not only to increase vaccination rates but also to build trust and reassure the public about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines. Achieving high vaccination rates was crucial for public health and required an informed and engaged public.
Our Approach
Integrated Marketing Strategies

Our team developed a user-friendly website that served as a central hub for all vaccine-related information, including FAQs, real-time updates, and an interactive map of vaccination sites across Pittsburgh.

To reach a broader audience, including those without internet access, we produced and distributed a series of informative print materials throughout the community and at strategic locations around the city.
Digital Marketing Campaign
We launched a comprehensive digital marketing campaign across multiple platforms to maximize reach and engagement. This included using SEO strategies, social media, and online advertising to reach a broader audience.
Photography and Videography
Professional photography and videography were employed to create compelling visual content that highlighted community members’ vaccination stories, helping to personalize the campaign.
Public Service Announcement (PSA)
Featuring Pittsburgh Steelers’ legends Franco Harris and Mel Blount, these PSAs played a crucial role in persuading and motivating residents to get vaccinated, leveraging the trust and admiration the community has for these figures.
