New Alegent Health Work

Months back Alegent Health put their marketing account into review and the agency BVK of Milwaukee and Chicago came out the victors. The first work with their new agency is surfacing around town in billboard and print but I have not seen any TV as of yet. Here is a 1/2 page print ad that appeared in Delta's Sky Magazine profiling Omaha. The new campaign has dropped the "This is your healthcare" tagline.

Here is a banner that has the same look and messaging as a billboard that is up around Omaha.

Westlake ACE Hardware Zombie Preparedness Campaign

Bozell launched a new tongue in cheek campaign for client Westlake Hardware. The Halloween campaign starts with Westlake launching a zombie preparedness effort for customers with tips and product recommendation. However, the zombie population is not happy about this and they stage a protest in response. Now Westlake has started to offer tips to zombies as well on how to delay the decay.

You can follow the campaign at:

• Facebook.com/WestlakeHardware
