Avastin CARES

The Avastin CARES (Clear Answers, Resources, Education, and Support) program was designed to provide expert guidance to support and reassure cancer patients. Its strategy, execution and results really wowed judges.

“This is a fully thought-out program,” one judge noted, “with strong use of branding, hallmarks, and design that’s easily understood.”

A second judge praised it as a “comprehensive direct marketing approach” with “great copy and graphics.”

The program includes a starter kit with a DVD, an MOA tool and a caregiver brochure. As treatment continues, patients get direct mail, emails and outbound calls based on their specific cancer type. Execution was carefully planned so as not to overwhelm patients and to only deliver truly pertinent information at the exact time they needed it.

On a $3.5 million budget, 2012 results included a 40% to 50% email open rate and satisfaction rate of more than 90% for call center support. The agency also reported CARES patients stay on Avastin significantly longer. CARES patients are also more comfortable with Avastin than non-CARES patients, and a survey revealed 85% of CARES patients recognized that “Avastin can starve the tumor, causing it to stop growing or shrink,” compared to 54% of non-CARES patients.

“A robust CRM program,” a third judge noted. “Strong response measured at both channel and marketing performance level.”
