Being a Successful Social Brand

Tufts Health Plan - Branding, UX/Experience, Development, Strategy

Problem

Be What Your Customers Love

Once a year, employees can switch their health plan. They don’t. It’s a hard, stressful situation filled with fear of not finding new doctors and losing benefits. Members who have insurance also don’t use many of the health benefits and discounts available – leaving a lot of money on the table.

Solution

Deliver on the brand promise

With Tuft’s brand promise and tagline, “Nobody’s does more to keep you healthy” in mind, a digital strategy was conceived that would be a one-stop hub for fun activities that were pre-screened as healthy, local and seasonal. Coupons and discounts to incentivize Moms (both members and potential members) to try new things was a big part of the site.

Content marketing made easy

With an already strapped marketing department, an API to pull data from an existing resource was built to ensure content was hyper local, constantly refreshed and relevant but more importantly, content creation and publishing was easy to manage.

Build a community

While social media and community building (1,500 active members in the first year and 460,798 unique visitors per month) were a big objective, Tufts also experienced an increase in sales, sponsors, and employees leads.
