A new campaign from New York independent agency StrawberryFrog is helping to rewrite women鈥檚 health history, highlighting what is missing through a strong health care solution from Northwell Health鈥檚 Katz Institute for Women鈥檚 Health.
For centuries, medical findings have been based on male-oriented research, resulting in women鈥檚 health care being incomplete. Timed to coincide with Women鈥檚 History Month, this new campaign uses the power of art to illustrate how history has left women鈥檚 health incomplete - and how Northwell鈥檚 Katz Institute for Women鈥檚 Health is leading the charge to change that.
鈥淲e aren鈥檛 just talking about change - we鈥檙e making change happen,鈥 said Stacey E. Rosen, MD, senior vice president, Women鈥檚 Health, and executive director, Katz Institute for Women鈥檚 Health. 鈥淔or too long, medicine has taken a one-size-fits-all approach, even though women鈥檚 bodies and health needs are fundamentally different. The Katz Institute for Women鈥檚 Health is dedicated to closing these gaps and ensuring women receive the care they deserve.鈥
A hero spot, 'Master Pieces,' sees a woman walking through a museum, viewing well-known historical statues of women that are damaged or left incomplete, while the voiceover recognises the gaps in women鈥檚 health care. In a powerful moment, the woman steps forward, aligning herself with the headless Winged Victory of Samothrace, symbolising how Northwell is helping to complete the picture of women鈥檚 health. The spot concludes with a compelling fact: more women choose Northwell than any other health system in New York .
鈥淲ith 鈥楳aster Pieces,鈥 we use powerful storytelling to expose gaps in care and demonstrate how Northwell leads the way in transforming women鈥檚 health care,鈥 said Ramon Soto, chief marketing and communications officer at Northwell Health. 鈥淭his campaign extends our 鈥楻aise Health鈥 movement and a bold call to action for better health for all women.鈥
The campaign was brought to life through a collaboration between StrawberryFrog, Northwell鈥檚 agency of record, production from RSA Films and Patriot Films, and visual effects from The Refinery. The statues of the Winged Victory of Samothrace and The Venus de Milo were created using 3D printing, and The Three Graces was brought to life by using CG. 'Master Pieces' builds upon the foundation set by Northwell and StrawberryFrog鈥檚 2021 campaign, 'Breaking the Mold,' that addressed how many research studies and treatment protocols were historically designed around the male body. This latest campaign continues Northwell鈥檚 mission to rewrite the narrative of women鈥檚 health care. The campaign will run across multiple platforms, including broadcast TV, digital video, social media, out-of-home (OOH) advertising, and radio, ensuring widespread visibility for this crucial message.
鈥淭o bring the revolutionary work Northwell is doing in women鈥檚 health to life creatively, we had to find a way to tell that story in a big way. We found our muse, or muses, in some of the most iconic and historic female statues. Once we realized the parallel they provided to the story we wanted to tell, it wrote itself from there,鈥 said Nick Sonderup, chief creative officer.
