Campaigns for a health insurer and a device company took top honors at the seventh annual MM&M Awards.
Gallo and Medtronic Diabetes took the Gold Award in the Best Total Integration Program for Large Companies for their Connect the Dots educational campaign plugging Medtronic’s iPro Continuous Glucose Monitor. That campaign drove an increase in iPro use among participants from 3.5% to 20.6% over the first nine months of the effort. Taking the Silver Award in that category was Draftfcb Healthcare and Centocor Biotech for their Stelara “361” campaign.
Winning the Gold Award for Best Total Integration Program for Small Companies was Level Brand and Medica for their campaign promoting Medica’s COBRA Continuation Coverage for the unemployed. MedImmune took the Silver Award for its “Good to Share” campaign promoting flu protection and vaccination.
Five hundred and fifty industry marketers, all dressed to the nines in tuxedos and cocktail dresses, filled the cavernous, marble-clad hall at Cipriani on 42nd Street in Manhattan, where the awards were held.
