Maricopa Integrated Health System (MIHS) approached us to help create an organic campaign for an amazing patient. Her name was Isabella and she was an 8-year-old burn survivor who wanted to meet Taylor Swift. They wanted to launch a “not so quiet” campaign to get Taylor Swift to come to MIHS prior to her Phoenix tour dates.
The IWS team immediately got to work recommending MIHS coordinate with the parents to craft an organic video that could be shared on various social outlets, we felt it was important to have a push coming from close to Isabella to really drive this strategy. In addition, we’d requested photos and stories to share to help curate the story via social media.
