New Campaign Puts a Spotlight Literally on Newly Branded Brown University Health and "The Future of Medicine"

Feb. 26, 2025

Looking to recruit physicians and attract new patients in an increasingly competitive healthcare space, Lifespan turned to Nail Communications to help them transition to a new name and brand: Brown University Health.

The name change reflects a deeper alignment with Brown University and its highly respected medical school, and visibly signals a shared commitment to providing the highest quality care in the health system’s more than 1.5 million patient encounters each year.

Brown University Health’s SVP of Marketing and Communications, Jane Bruno said:

"We wanted to introduce Brown University Health to our community in a bold way that highlights the great care delivered along with some of the amazing research and breakthroughs happening throughout our system."

 

The campaign, “Illumination,” uses light as a metaphor for knowledge and Brown Health’s doctors and scientists' constant pursuit of it.

To help create the arresting aesthetic, dozens of Brown University Health doctors, nurses, and technicians were filmed and photographed in a 50,000-square-foot black box studio lit by a programmable digital multiplex lighting system.

Alec Beckett, Creative Partner at Nail added:

"Healthcare advertising is depressingly homogenous. We wanted to find a visually distinctive way to represent their Ivy League caliber of care and the bold declaration that "The future of medicine is here"."

 

Radio, outdoor, digital, and social media will run throughout Southern New England.
