SOLUTION
In a consultative engagement, data from a complex compilation of five databases was analyzed and reviewed to help understand the existing customer base. In a cross comparative data analysis and segmentation of the current customer base, contrasted to population census data for the region, opportunities in key and strategic target markets in certain age demographics, evolved.

SUCCESS
The Gift of Health campaign was created, and executed to these key age & demographic segments in an annual integrated campaign with four holiday seasonal themes. Now a keystone campaign for the organization, memberships are on the rise.
