Case Study: Eczema eTutorials for nurses and pharmacists | Country: UK | Sector: Pharma | Objectives: Engagement, targeting | Format: Video, e-workbook downlaods
This e-tutorial is helping to educate nurses at a time when NICE guidelines require more nurses to deliver eczema care. Developed for Schering-Plough in association with a panel of specialist dermatology nurses, eczpert.co.uk makes learning easy, accessible and fun. It puts the busy nurse in control of their own education, and allows them to dip in and out of the programme and learn at their own pace. Each of the twelve tutorials contain reflective practice exercises, downloadable workbooks, certificates and practical tools and is accredited by the Royal College of Nurses - that's 12 hours of CPD. This campaign is bang on trend. With recent NICE guidelines aiming to improve eczema management across England, and an increasing number of nurses having to deliver holistic care and patient education with little or no training, eczpert.co.uk is helping to bridge the gap.

Case study: Emirates | Agency: Chemistry UK | Technology: MediaMind | Sector: Travel | Objectives: Targeting, brand positioning, brand awareness | Format: Rich media
A neat way of bringing mapping and personalisation into an advertising space. David Carr, Head of Interactive at Chemistry UK Says:
"Emirates is the only long haul airline to fly from 6 UK airports. Despite this, most people still associate mid and long haul flights for business or pleasure with Heathrow or Gatwick. Miles Better used geographic and behavioural targeting coupled with in-advertising mapping to encourage people to fly from their local airport. It demonstrated the ease of getting there by plotting a route and showed how quick the trip would be. The campaign was part of the 6 UK Airports strategy that combined brand led comms, direct response offers, and even brand utility applications to increase passenger numbers for Emirates flights at Newcastle, Birmingham, Glasgow and Manchester."
