GILENYA HEY MS, Take This! Campaign

When you're the first oral medication for Multiple Sclerosis, it just sells itself, right? Not so fast. We had to overcome the status quo of fearful people with MS and their passive treatment decision-making process within an increasingly crowded MS-treatment landscape. The solution was to tap the passion, frustration, and optimistic patients themselves. Giving them an unprecedented platform for them to open up, share, reflect, support, and shout helped change entrenched behaviors. HEY MS, TAKE THIS! broke other barriers: GILENYA requests jumped 66% from the prior year.

2014 GOLD

At the Corner of Happy and Healthy

In 2012, the retail pharmacy industry was battered by the changing healthcare environment, sluggish economy and growing competition among big box retailers. With little differentiation in the category, consumers didnt have a compelling reason to switch. Walgreens understood we needed to be more relevant to consumers, and further fulfill our purpose of helping people get, stay, and live well. We tapped into our heritage and what we already owned to demonstrate that Walgreens is helping everyone arrive "At the Corner of Happy and Healthy."
