The program, presented by the Mature Market Resource Center, a national clearinghouse for the senior market, recognizes the nation's finest advertising, marketing and educational materials designed and produced for older adults.
“The Latino community is the fastest-growing market in California, so reaching out through earned media to Latinos who are Medicare-eligible and their families who help them make their health care buying decisions was an important element of our overall integrated marketing communications strategy”
Health Net received a Merit Award in the insurance division for its launch of its Salud con Health Net Medicare Advantage HMO (Salud Medicare), the first-of-its-kind Medicare Advantage HMO plan targeting senior Latinos. The bilingual public relations campaign was implemented by Health Net's corporate communications department and the Milagro Communications Group.
