DMW Receives PIMA Gold

Wayne, PA (December 9, 2002) - Warren Hunter, president of DMW, a full-service direct response advertising agency based in Wayne, PA announced that it has received a prestigious Gold Award for its Direct Response TV, Direct Mail and Fulfillment campaign created for Highmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield.

Campaign goals included the successful launch of a new health insurance product – DirectBlue -- to younger Pennsylvanians, and to generate qualified leads at an acceptable cost while positioning Highmark as a market innovator. This multi-media entry included DRTV, direct mail and fulfillment – all within a new product budget.

Given the target audience, a very upbeat, contemporary look was incorporated into both the direct response TV and mail, and a high-energy cutting edge look was utilized for the TV audience with special thematic consideration given to this very visual, yet time-challenged audience. The TV spot featured a "twenty-something" young woman living the fast-paced life of the target audience while explaining the importance of the product to her lifestyle.

Direct mail results exceeded plan by 100% and the cost per inquiry (CPI) was well below projections. The television campaign produced similarly impressive results. Both programs continue to successfully meet program rollout goals.

DMW’s creative team included Eric Jensen, Irv Levine, Cynthia Maniglia, Mike Miller and Wendy Vagnoni.
