Primacy Earns Best Consumer Marketing Campaign and Best Social Responsibility Campaign at the 2015 MITX AwardsIndependent agency Primacy earned two MITX awards that recognize marketing and technology innovation. The agency won in the B2C Marketing category for its Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center campaign and the Best Social Responsibility category for its Google (News - Alert) Glass Race and Donation Platform. Primacy was also named a finalist in three other categories, including Best Innovation in Wearables or Connected Device, Education Marketing, and Healthcare, Wellness and Pharmaceutical Marketing. The Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center campaign is a multimedia campaign that demonstrates why Middlesex Hospital is the "The Smarter Choice for Cancer Care." The campaign focuses on real patient stories and gives first-hand accounts of the positive impact of the center's commitment to favorable outcomes-from access to the best doctors and techniques, leveraging the latest technologies and clinical research options, to putting patients' well-being above all else. "The ability for brands to engage with audiences in more meaningful ways has evolved significantly over the years. We've seen campaigns that have the greatest impact are the ones that make the deepest connections," said Rosie Walker, executive vice president at Primacy. "The physicians at Middlesex Hospital stop at nothing to ensure that their patients receive the best care, and we wanted to focus on the precious moments in life made possible by this level of dedication." Primacy's Google Glass Race and Donation Platform centers on supporting a cross country bike race that raises money to upport brain cancer research. Primacy built a platform that ties together an online, fully-responsive donation site that connects with riders' Google Glass and a native mobile application. Supporters use the site to make donations and send riders words of encouragement throughout the race, as well as track the riders' progress on the race course, donation progress for each rider and view social posts from the race. Riders can view messages through their Google Glass as they pass supporter-selected goals on the race course. The riders can also capture images and video, and post back to social media in real-time. "Google Glass gave us a tremendous opportunity to create an experience platform that really makes a difference," said Melissa Tait, SVP of technology and project management at Primacy. "We were able to see our Glass app in action at a recent race for 3000 Miles to a Cure, and it was incredibly rewarding to see it have a positive impact on fan/donor engagement and total dollars raised." One of the largest and most prestigious annual awards competitions in the country for digital innovation, the MITX Awards program is unique in that it recognizes the region's entire digital ecosystem, including media, marketing, products, mobile, and more.
