Pre-campaign research showed that millennials aren’t looking for any one thing in particular when considering moving to another state for a job – they’re looking for everything. The Define Your More campaign is a manifestation of this insight. Each execution in the campaign has multiple layers to its meaning, highlighting that millennials can get more of everything they’re looking for in Wisconsin, no matter what “more” means to them.

Using the most creative formats of digitally driven media, Nelson Schmidt delivered this message to millennials in 13 key Midwestern markets. And it worked. Post-campaign research showed that 83% of millennials indicated they’d be willing to move to Wisconsin for a job in 2019 versus just 68% in 2018 before the campaign started.

Care pathways are prevalent in oncology, cardiology and other mainstream areas of medicine, but this patient-centered care philosophy has always been difficult to achieve in urology. Fragmented product offerings, lack of innovation and unproven methodologies have held urologists back from being able to deliver the full journey of care they’d prefer to provide.

After a key acquisition and a breakthrough product innovation, global medical device manufacturer Laborie could finally make the care pathway a reality for urologists. To deliver this thrilling news, Nelson Schmidt created a showstopping event experience at the American Urological Association’s Annual Meeting in Chicago.

The design of the booth itself took visitors on a journey through the new urology care pathway. As they circled around the booth, urologists discovered each step in the pathway through creatively synchronized videos and relevant product demonstrations. A giant, 100+ ft. video wall also greeted visitors before they entered the show hall, creating intrigue to visit the Laborie booth.
