Access Health CT
Making the historic launch of “Obamacare” in Connecticut the nation’s most successful with a 360 strategy.
Kirsten held a key role in the launch of the CT Healthcare Exchange. Her responsibilities included the management of a $15 million media plan including reporting and optimization, multi-cultural and partnership strategy and oversight and management of all campaign assets – video, interactive, web, digital advertising, OOH.
The effort was much like that of a startup – new category, no identity, no awareness – and had the added challenge of being politically charged. It started with the development of a go-to-market strategy that addressed branding, awareness, education, engagement and enrollment.
Every element of the campaign delivered consistent messaging and was driven by a seamless user experience, frequent touches and response-focused advertising that drove to an interactive website. It was so successful that a case featuring the integrated marketing strategy is being taught by both the Harvard Business School and School of Public Health.
