Healthfirst – Reaching business owners with emotion as much as finance

Healthfirst

Long-running campaign keeps New Yorkers happy

In a competitive Medicare Advantage marketplace filled with national providers, Healthfirst continues to win over New Yorkers. The secret? Exuding positivity, creating a real connection, and leaning into health as the key to happiness in life.

Now in its fifth year, the “Where healthy starts” campaign keeps evolving – and resonating.

“Hey, what’s that song?”

To capture the joyful vibe we wanted, we updated the classic, “Come On Get Happy.” At once nostalgic and modern, it’s been a hit with seniors who’ve lived life but are still reinventing themselves.

Unmistakably New York

Because Healthfirst is a hometown provider, we’ve sought to reinforce that New Yorker to New Yorker connection – through photography and music, partnerships with well-known NY organizations, and multilingual, hyper-local outreach efforts.

Making Medicare understandable

Due to the compressed timeframe of Medicare’s annual enrollment period, we’re always laser-focused on creating a highly coordinated campaign to reinforce impressions and boost enrollments. One key: making a complex product and sale simple.
