Best Healthcare Provider Online Campaign

Introduction
Fertility Ontario is one of Canada’s premiere fertility health clinics. In 2012, they received a mysterious package in the mail containing 6 random cheques totaling $310.
After deeper investigation, it turns out the money had been collected in lieu of flowers at the funeral service of a young woman named Laura. After contacting the family, we learned that Laura had suffered through several painful miscarriages. After finally delivering a baby girl, she passed away due to medical complications. According to her husband, it was her dying wish that donations from her funeral go to a local fertility centre.

Strategy & Goals
In response to this generous act, Fertility Ontario chose to create a program that would select one couple and provide them no-cost fertility treatment.
tbk Creative was hired to execute the online campaign. Goals were:
1. News Coverage – 3 local media references
2. Applications – 30+ applications
Our Actions
We named the program, “Laura’s Wish,” built a branded logo, launched an online microsite, deployed a Facebook ad spend, and deployed PR media outreach.
Results
Since launch, the program was covered by 6 (100% over target) news groups giving the program an estimated 300,000+ earned media impressions (with a total market potential of 500,000), and 78 applications have come in (160% over target).
This April, one lucky couple will be chosen to receive free fertility treatment and a chance to start a family.
