Case Study – UnitedHealthcare

UnitedHealthcare (UHC) has always been dedicated to helping people live healthier lives and making the health system work better for everyone. They serve millions of people anywhere from early years to retirement and on. When it came to digital collateral and advertising, the UHC team lacked a comprehensive selection of imagery for advertising, direct marketing, internal communications and digital media assets and called in the Dana Hursey team to help.

Effective & Efficient

With UnitedHealthcare’s needs in mind, the ultimate goal was not only to have them walk away with added-value and flexible assets that could be used across various marketing mediums, but also to have the images be effectively and efficiently produced within a two-week production period. 

No “I” In Team 

Through the production process, the Dana Hursey team worked closely with various ad agencies conceptualizing the project, refining the shot lists to maximize output, and prioritizing tasks that needed to be accomplished to complete the job with excellence. The scope involved juggling multiple scenes, locations and talent pools— all of which culminated in providing a multifunctional bank of imagery that could have the flexibility to be recycled for years to come.

Relationship Is Key

Although a big feat to be completed in two weeks, our team did not face any difficulty when it came to working with UnitedHealthcare. Their vision was clear and they knew how to communicate it well. The true glue, however, was the relationship our teams built together. We truly felt like partners throughout the process with UnitedHealthcare, helping them to “package” the production in the most versatile way so it could be utilized in future campaigns. UHC put their full trust in the Dana Hursey group to get the job done and deliver the results they needed.

Next Level Results

With all hands on deck and productivity at its maximum, the project was sealed and sent off by deadline with flying colors. We gave UnitedHealthcare an incredibly elevated collection to showcase the versatility, value, and the accessibility of their offerings and services that spoke directly to their target audience.

In It For The Long Run

Since the initial project, UnitedHealthcare has repeatedly returned to the Dana Hursey team for over a decade with confidence in our ability to deliver whatever subject they throw at us. We have produced thousands of images for their marketing efforts including assets for direct mail, their website, social media, as well as digital image libraries for both internal and external use.

COASC – Aging as Art: A Juried Photography Show

I have of course heard of the Council on Aging. What was news to me until a few months ago was that the Southern California Council on Aging has, for the past few years, had an annual photo competition entitled Aging as Art. What a fantastic theme! A friend of mine who is in healthcare forwarded a link to coasc.org and alerted me to the competition for 2022. I opted to submit one of my favorite photos from my 14 Days in Great Britain Documentary Series. As with many competitions.. I submit.. assuming nothing, and move on. To my genuine surprise, last week I was notified that my image had been awarded Second Place in the Professional Category! It is ALWAYS thrilling to be recognized, and this one was particularly rewarding because of the theme and content.

Hop over and see all of the winning images that celebrate who and what we are as we get older and wiser!
