Health Reports Case Study: Cholesterol Product

The Challenge

Approximately 94 million U.S. adults aged 20 or older suffer from high cholesterol levels. Despite being an effective treatment option, many are unaware of the importance of statins in maintaining their cholesterol or don’t know about their options in statins because of negative side effects they have experienced. To help promote the product and make it the it the go-to 2nd line statin, Targeted Media Health wanted to reach patients, particularly those with comorbidities, like being over age 65, having high blood pressure, or type 2 diabetes.

 

To help reach this audience, Targeted Media Health launched a Health REPORTS guide focusing on the high cholesterol. Along with multiple articles on the condition, the issue also featured 100% SOV for the product to raise brand awareness. Once the guide was published, the articles from this issue also ran on health.com, as part of their Cholesterol Condition Center, where the product’s digital ads ran to increase their reach beyond point of care and allow for an integrated program.
