Middle-aged men in rural Appalachian regions face higher heart-disease risk — and are far less likely to seek preventative care.

Client: Mountain States Health Alliance
Agency Partner: BSG

We reframed heart health using a language men already trust: maintenance.
By drawing a direct parallel between heart care and the machines men cherish, the campaign positioned checkups as routine tune-ups — not weakness.

The work featured rugged, mechanical imagery and a restrained message:

You take care of everything, Except you.

Results included:

A+28% increase in appointment inquiries

+34% lift in website traffic among men ages 45–64

Strong recall and anecdotal reports of first-time cardiac checkups

My role: Concept, visual strategy, art direction, and executions across AI prompt engineering, editing, print, digital, and environmental media.

Placements were intentionally chosen to meet men where they are — sports bars, barbers, truck dealerships, auto parts stores, and men’s regional magazines — supported by a clear promise of fast access to care through 15 cardiac specialists.
