Tired Cupid
Injectafer is a brand-name prescription drug. It’s FDA-approved to treat iron deficiency anemia (IDA) in adults. With IDA, you have anemia (low red blood cell level) that’s due to not having enough iron in your body, fatigue being the main symptom.
Iron deficiency often goes underdiagnosed and undertreated, especially in heart failure. In fact, ~50% of patients with heart failure also have iron deficiency. And when it goes unchecked, it can impact outcomes, creating a 2x increased risk of hospitalization.
To reach HCPs and encourage screening, we decided to use Cupid—a famous representative of the heart—to show how iron deficiency impacts heart failure.
A limited time unbranded Valentine’s Day targeted campaign that called lots of attention to the anemia treatment category.
HOW IT WORKED?
These short gifs and social posts depict a fatigued, iron-deficient Cupid wreaking havoc on Valentine’s Day and creating missed connections everywhere he goes. Cupid is seen sleeping through potential meet-cutes, struggling to draw an arrow for a would-be couple, accidentally creating bad matches, and more. These snippets and gifs are live in digital banners targeting HCPs across the world wide web. By crafting a unique set of visual stories, we were able to break through the sea of more traditional Cupid content in February. Our attention-grabbing banners led HCPs to our unbranded website, where many were shocked to learn that up to half of their patient population could have iron deficiency.
