PATIENT STORIES

People living with Severe Eosinophilic Asthma (SEA)

Brief

Teva Respiratory approached us to create a series of videos telling the stories of three people living with Severe Eosinophilic Asthma (SEA). These videos would be shown across multiple platforms and to both internal and external global audiences.

Plan of Action

Working closely with the client we carefully selected the three patients to be featured in the video and conducted interviews with them. From these phone calls, we constructed a shooting script and storyboard. Our US-based production lead, a director and a producer from the UK travelled to Michigan, Atlanta, and Tennessee. These complex shoots involved sixteen locations (indoors and outdoors) and multiple cameras including a drone.

Creative

The videos show how SEA profoundly impacts the lives of patients and their families. The creative challenge came in telling a compelling story whilst meeting regulatory restrictions. We innovated using interactive ‘smart video’ to deliver the ISI and PI through clickable hotspots on the video itself, meeting the ‘one-click rule’ whilst maintaining the freedom to embed the video on any website.

Deliverables

We delivered a series of more than twelve individual cuts of the videos using the footage of the three subjects. Including one story for each of Mark, Shelby, and Patricia (which are approved for use with patients in the US), a video that combines their stories thematically, versions for use at trade shows and internal sales meetings as well as localised versions for use in Europe with HCPs.
