Driving Medicare Enrollment Through an Integrated “Let’s Talk” Campaign

Brand Strategy, Print & Digital Design, Experiential Marketing

With the launch of Medicare Part D (prescription drug plans), Humana needed an integrated campaign to:

  • Increase brand awareness

  • Communicate a clear, differentiated message

  • Drive enrollment in a highly competitive healthcare market

As part of this initiative, I worked across multiple design disciplines—including branding, print, digital, and experiential marketing—to bring Humana’s "Let’s Talk" campaign to life, helping to engage and educate Medicare-eligible seniors nationwide.

Challenge

  • Demystifying Medicare Part D – Research revealed that seniors were overwhelmed by complex insurance options and wanted straightforward, honest guidance.

  • Cutting Through the Competition – Humana needed to stand out in a market where multiple providers were launching aggressive enrollment campaigns.

  • Creating Multi-Touchpoint Engagement – To reach seniors effectively, the campaign required a mix of paid media, digital marketing, print, and in-person experiences.


My Role & Approach

Strategic Brand Positioning & Messaging

  • Developed the “Let’s Talk” campaign, a friendly, approachable brand message that positioned Humana as the go-to resource for simple Medicare answers.

  • Crafted consistent visual and messaging elements across all campaign touchpoints, ensuring brand cohesion.

Print & Digital Marketing Design

  • Designed TV, print, and direct response ads that simplified the Medicare conversation, making Humana’s offerings easy to understand.

  • Supported online enrollment efforts with engaging digital materials, driving more seniors to Humana’s website.

Experiential Marketing: “Let’s Talk” RV Tour

  • Helped execute a grassroots educational tour featuring 10 branded RVs, covering 110,000 miles across 550 cities to provide face-to-face Medicare guidance.

  • Designed marketing materials and on-site branding to ensure a consistent informational and interactive experience at every stop.

Results & Impact

  • Record-Breaking Online Enrollment – Following Humana’s direct response TV ads, the company enrolled more members online than any other Medicare provider.

  • 3.8 Million New Members – The campaign successfully helped Humana jump from #7 to #2 in Medicare membership.

  • 40,000+ Seniors Engaged – The RV tour allowed Humana to meet face-to-face with 40,000 seniors, spending an average of 27 minutes per interaction and generating significant press coverage.

Relevance

Although this campaign was executed years ago, it remains a valuable showcase of my ability to design for large-scale, integrated campaigns across multiple disciplines. It highlights my:

  • Experience working with a Fortune 100 brand

  • Expertise in the insurance & healthcare industry—a major focus of my career

  • Ability to integrate branding, digital, print, and experiential marketing into a seamless, high-impact strategy

This case study demonstrates my versatility in tackling complex, multi-channel design challenges, making it relevant for future insurance, healthcare, and brand engagement projects.
