UNLOCKING A NEW BASE OF PLASMA DONORS

THE PROBLEM

The Hispanic base of plasma donors was virtually non-existent, with only 1% donating nationally.  Our client wasn't sure what to do, as their current marketing efforts weren’t breaking through.

CREATIVE INTERVENTION

Reframed the client’s core story as getting compensated for your time instead of for your body ("Tu Tiempo Es Dinero"), and worked with the media team on tailored local  plans to support new centers, depending on how prevalent the taboo was among Hispanics in each market.

WHAT WE FOUND

After a diagnostic of their current campaign, we found that they were treating the entire market as a monolith.  However, through more granular segmentation, we discovered that Central and South American Hispanics tended to have a cultural taboo against “selling” parts of their body.  

This needed to be reframed for them, while other hispanics (mainly in Caribbean markets) needed more explicit value messaging.

RESULTS

From a virtually non-existent donor base:

+1958% Hispanic donor registrations YOY
+3381% scheduled donations YOY
