Hanson Dodge Creative (HDC) and Cultivate by Standard Process have been awarded two 2015 Aster Awards and two 2015 Healthcare Advertising Awards.
In the 2015 Aster Awards for medical marketing excellence, HDC and Cultivate received a Gold for logo design and a Silver for cultivateonsite.com, which was developed by HDC and launched in February of 2014. The website provides business leaders with a complete picture of Cultivate’s on-site scalable wellness offering and how it can deliver tangible, meaningful results within their organization — including controlling healthcare trends and creating a culture of wellness.
The 32nd Annual Healthcare Advertising Awards featured 39 entry categories. HDC and Cultivate received a Bronze Award in the brochure category for the Cultivate on-site wellness brochure and a Merit Award in the website category for cultivateonsite.com.
“Our ongoing partnership with Hanson Dodge Creative has been critical to the early success of Cultivate by Standard Process,” Jerry Curtin, president of Cultivate, said. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see the results of that partnership be recognized with these awards and the reaction to our evidence-based wellness program has been outstanding. Many companies are embracing a chiropractic led program because it truly is the preventive answer that delivers a real return on investment."
Dan Herwig leads the creative direction for HDC’s work with Cultivate. “It’s an honor to receive a pair of Healthcare Advertising Awards and a pair of Aster Awards for our work with Cultivate,” Herwig said. “Cultivate works hard to improve the health and wellness of employees through on-site programs. We are proud to be their agency partner and thrilled to be able to deliver award-winning work for them.”
