Indiana University Health, the largest in-state hospital network, has over 25,000 employees. From EMS teams rushing around the clock and surgeons scrubbing in, to Environmental Services sanitizing every surface - IU Health wanted to thank its employees for their personal sacrifice during the COVID-19 pandemic. "Thank you" only goes so far, especially when it's been said before. The employees at IU Health worked selflessly around the clock at the onset of the pandemic. Words of affirmation felt like the proper fit for heroes. Heroes who work in the dark of night, miss birthday parties and family dinners so we can attend out - they deserve everything. We created an integrated campaign across multiple channels to thank IU Health workers wherever they are. We didn't say "thank you" until the end of the TV spot, but we did thank them across the state on television, radio, print, social, out-of-home, and more. 

This campaign was made with MERGE: an agency of record for Indiana University Health for over 10 years.

Our strategy: give thanks in a meaningful, impactful, and lasting way devoid of any trite sentiment. The result: an unprecedented positive response from the IU Health community. The message was so well received that IU Health's marketing team which sponsored the campaign started to receive "Thank You's" of their own for creating it.

"You are the light. Shine on." Six simple words sending love to all of the IU Health workers. Pairing the visual language and strategic textual content with our own remake of the classic Harry Dixon Loes song "This Little Light of Mine" pulled our target audience's heartstrings.
