Uplifting health care created for the unique needs of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Marketing Campaign
-
In early 2024, Optum and Atrius Health launched Pride+ Care, a pilot program focused on LGBTQIA+ care. The goals were strong, but the program struggled to reach new patients. Our team was invited to build an omni-channel campaign to drive patient acquisition and help shape plans for ongoing care and future clinic sites.
We started by learning about the community. LGBTQIA+ patients have long been underserved in healthcare, and many carry the weight of not feeling understood by their providers. Pride+ Care offers a full system of expert support, and we wanted patients to feel the peace of mind that comes with it.
That led to our creative concept: βBe truly seen.β The campaign celebrated patients as their full selves and showed the understanding theyβd find in the program. The β+β symbol became the heart of the visual system, representing the full spectrum of care. It gave the brand a simple, flexible mark that worked across paid digital banners, social, and program landing pages.
Impactful Results
Within the first few weeks of the campaign, weekly traffic to the Pride+ Care website increased 135% and new patient acquisition increased 2x. The pilot program has since received a green light for expansion to new markets and we have been selected to support new efforts.
