Leveraging New Media to Get the Message Out

by | Dec 31, 2008

Earlier this month we wrote about what is arguably some of the most innovative concepts (well, they have really only piloted one, which is now preparing for broader market roll-out) from any health insurer – that from Humana and its skunk works, CrumpleItUp team.

Following SlideShare presentation provides an inside look as to how this team leveraged new marketing media techniques/technologies to get the word out about Freewheel!n.  Some good lessons here for others to emulate, and not just payers.  Our only regret, the slide show does not have a “lessons learned” slide on what they would do differently in the future.

    John:
    Thanks so much . . . it’s gratifying to see that others share my interest in exploring the power of social media to engage in community. Your point about “What would we do differently” (and its corrollary – “what did we learn?”) is a good one . . . and it’s inspired me to post an updated version of this slideshare deck. Soon.

    One other comment . . . in addition to creating bcycle from the genesis of freewheelin, we also piloted:
    – our first web-based exergame, “The Horesepower Challenge.” See this video (http://tinyurl.com/7kbdxt) or humanagames.com for more info.
    – Our first facebook application, Battle of the Bulge (http://tinyurl.com/78ujma)
    – Our first casual game (http://tinyurl.com/876hmk)

    . . . and those are just the “biggies.” Looking for lots more in 2008!

    In any case, thanks for the continued feedback and support – we appreciate it!
