Case Studies
US WEST
Goals: Increase calls to their Spanish-speaking call center by 6 percent with a multimedia campaign.
Challenges: The low-budget campaign spread over three states required a creative - and effective - use of funds.
Results: The campaign far surpassed expectations, achieving an astounding 40 percent increase in calls in six weeks - more than six times the stated goal.
HIV Care
Goals: Reach a diverse population through non-traditional means to get non-insured HIV patients to attend a public healthcare program.
Challenges: A large percentage of the target audience was homeless, making many traditional advertising channels like newspapers and TV not as effective. In addition, many pursued alternative lifestyles, requiring a unique media strategy.
Results: TSI designed a campaign that used traveling billboards, advertising in non-traditional publications targeting the homeless and GLBT population, and a powerful radio and TV campaign with carefully purchased stations and times. Results exceeded expectations, as evidenced by the campaign received national recognition and a second funding grant.
BlueCross/BlueShield of Arizona
Goals: Develop a name-recognition program targeting low-income Anglos, Hispanics and African-Americans in 13 counties to sign up for the new Arizona Medicaid program.
Challenges: Creating a multicultural and bilingual campaign to build name recognition of a new program with an extremely tight schedule, plus multiple restrictions and approval processes.
Results: An easy-to-understand bilingual print, direct mail and radio campaign was so successful, that a follow-up of the campaign was not needed.
