Chapel Hill, N.C. – University Health Systems of Eastern Carolina (UHS) received a silver award in the prestigious 2008 Aster Awards competition. Jennings, the Chapel Hill branding and advertising agency, produced the award-winning “colors” campaign for UHS. The campaign promoted the health system’s cardiovascular services through the use of billboards, print ads, television commercials, web banners, airport advertising and radio spots. The Aster Awards recognize excellence in healthcare and medical marketing throughout the U.S.
“We are proud of the work we’ve done for UHS, and excited to be at the point where the health system is seeing a return on investment that goes beyond winning awards,” said Dan Dunlop, Jennings president. "UHS is well-established as a leader in cardiovascular services. It’s only fitting that they now have a marketing program that is garnering recognition from industry peers."
Over the last several months, the UHS “colors” campaign has also been recognized with international Telly Awards, national Healthcare Advertising Awards and local ADDY Awards.
