COVID-19 Patient Recovery Campaign
Mankato Clinic
Early in the COVID-19 crisis, patients were asked to hold off on routine and non-emergent care. As more was discovered about the virus and safety measures were put in place, access to care began to open up. However, patients continued to stay away from health care facilities, including those patients served by our long-time client Mankato Clinic.
The reluctance of patients to return to care caused two enormous problems:
- 1. Appointments for chronic disease management, screenings, vaccinations and well-child visits were being missed, sometimes to the detriment of patient health.
- 2. Important patient care revenue was being lost.
We had to get this campaign right for the health of Mankato Clinic patients—and the clinic itself.

Prepared and protected
Besides Mankato Clinic personas (including young moms through seniors with grandchildren), we needed to make a connection with the broader regional audience in the four rural Minnesota communities Mankato Clinic serves.
Our approach included driving our audiences to a multi-purpose landing page that:
- Acknowledged patients’ fears head-on.
- Used video to visually demonstrate the safety protocols in place.
- Provided options for both in-person and virtual visits.
- Made it Amazon-like easy to schedule an appointment.
