Case Study: HealthPartners Online Services

Healthcare Marketing — Learning Resources

We are following an ongoing case study that first appeared in our OnCompeting blog: Creative Internet Marketing Stories: HealthPartners Online Services.

Briefly — it is a story about how HealthParners created two characters — Petey & Pokey — for use in a marketing campaign with the goal of increasing adoption of their Online Services.

Petey (as in Petey P. Cup) is a speciment pee cup and Pokey is a needle. :-) They then used these characters in a range of innovative Social Media channels (innovative for this market sector). The Bottom Line: it works.

We thought you might like to take a look at some of the things that HealthPartners marketing team has done. There is a range of merchandise and toys around the characters, Social Media sites, games and an endless array of YouTube videos. Here are a few resources to whet your whistle:
