We are excited to share that Forum One received 8 awards in 3 different categories from the Healthcare Ad Awards! 

The Healthcare Ad Awards began forty years ago as a national competition to recognize the field of healthcare marketing and advertising. Today, the industry has matured into a sophisticated and competitive field. For the 40th Annual Healthcare Advertising Awards, over 4,300 entries were received, making the awards the largest and the most well-recognized healthcare advertising awards competition. A national panel of judges was engaged in reviewing all entries based on creativity, quality, message effectiveness, consumer appeal, graphic design, and overall impact. 

This year, Forum One took home three gold, two silver, two bronze, and one merit award in the website, apps, and interactive, and annual report categories. Read below to learn more about each of the Healthcare Ad awards projects.

Support Children’s Colorado Foundation

Gold – Website 

Established in 1978, Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation is dedicated to advancing the mission of Children’s Hospital Colorado through family-centered care and cutting-edge research and treatment. The goal of the Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation is to care for and cure children through the provision of high-quality care, education, research, and advocacy.

The Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation came to us with the goal of rethinking its digital ecosystem from the ground up and optimizing how they attract, engage, and grow their target audiences, including donors and supporters. To achieve this, Forum One conducted a comprehensive landscape analysis and full audits of their technical ecosystem, communications, and analytics as well as stakeholder interviews. All of this work ultimately informed the redesign of the Support Children’s Colorado Foundation site which now helps the organization to understand the organization better and see the value of digital philanthropy.

To achieve this, March of Dimes and Forum One worked together to develop Compass by March of Dimes. Compass is an app designed to support parents in their journey from pregnancy through postpartum by providing answers, resources, and compassion at every step.

2022 State of Babies Yearbook (Zero to Three) 

Bronze – Annual Report

Zero to Three works to ensure all babies and toddlers have a strong start in life. Their annual report, the State of Babies Yearbook, frames rigorous research, unbiased analyses, and clear communications to influence decision-makers positioned to improve public policies and interventions in support of children and families. For the second year in a row, Forum One developed a brand-aligned design that was both easy to read and inviting. This 157-page report created a useful tool for Zero to Three’s advocacy at any stage.

Forum One partnered with March of Dimes to consolidate their more than 40 web platforms to develop an easy and streamlined experience for audience members to engage as they like, as well as create a website that could clearly communicate their mission.

Washington All-Payer Claims Database

Forum One designed the brand identity and built the web application for the Washington All-Payer Claims Database (WA-APCD), a Washington State Governor’s initiative to bring greater transparency to healthcare costs in the state and give residents powerful tools to make data-driven, informed decisions that maximize healthcare quality and value. The database provides actionable information and best practices for patients, providers, hospitals, and communities to understand the state of healthcare in Washington, and continuously improve healthcare quality and value through performance benchmarks and metrics.
