RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY LOCAL FIRMS FEATURED AT WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM ANNUAL MEETING
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – January 29, 2010 – Proprietary social media research conducted by Minnesota firms Russell Herder and Ethos Business Law is being featured this week at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting taking place through January 31 in Davos, Switzerland. The 2010 event entitled “Improve the State of the World: Rethink, Redesign and Rebuild” has drawn an invitation-only participant list of 2,500 chief executives from global leading companies, government representatives from the world’s top 25 economies and fast-growing countries, and presidents of the world’s major universities.

Russell Herder and Ethos Business Law conducted a groundbreaking study with C-suite executives regarding corporate use of social media, as well as on the need for internal policies and training. The firms were contacted last month for permission to share key findings at the global event in a session entitled “The Growing Influence of Social Networks,” which featured the CEOs of LinkedIn, MySpace, Ning and Twitter, among others.

“Corporations need to recognize that the social Web has the potential to become a new mode of production and the new “operating system” of a business,” the Forum reported. “But companies face a crisis of leadership. Too many companies are reticent about incorporating social media into either the organization’s internal process or its customer strategy, viewing social networks instead as a threat to employee productivity, or a source of transparency for which some organizations feel unready.”

Russell Herder and Ethos management have participated in numerous speaking engagements since the original research was released a few months ago. A free copy of the research white paper is available at www.russellherder.com/socialmediaresearch.

RUSSELL HERDER AND HCMC HONORED WITH HEALTH LEADERS
MEDIA AWARD
Russell Herder was recently presented with a Platinum award in the Best Service Line-Neurology category at the 2009 HealthLeaders Media Marketing Awards show for the agency’s Save This Brain campaign on behalf of Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC). The annual national awards celebrate the best results-based hospital, physician practice and health plan marketing campaigns.

The Save This Brain campaign, initially launched in 2008, was a multifaceted initiative to educate consumers about the impact, treatment and prevention of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) that included a series of community events, outreach efforts and a website, SaveThisBrain.org. Minnesotans may best remember this brain-saving campaign by the rolling bathtub, complete with shower steam and would-be bathers in robes and slippers, that made its way along Nicollet Mall on a hot summer day last August; the bathtub was being used to call attention to the leading cause of TBI – falls.

According to HealthLeaders Media, a division of HCPro, a panel of judges chose the award winners using a formula that emphasized ROI, not just campaigns that look nice. Save This Brain was selected as the winner in its category based on four criteria: how well the team defined its objectives and strategy; how well the campaign aligned with the goals and objectives; measurement and return on investment; and creativity, message, and quality. HealthLeaders Media will add to an already impressive list of 10 marketing awards the agency has already captured for Save This Brain.

“This recognition represents an important seal of excellence for healthcare marketing, and we’re proud to share this accolade with our friends at HCMC,” said Brian Herder, executive creative director at Minneapolis-based Russell Herder. “This great work wouldn’t be possible without their solid partnership and their willingness to push the envelope when it came to creative.”

Hennepin Receives International Award for Health Promotion
Traumatic Brain Injury Campaign Honored at Consumer Health World Conference
MINNEAPOLIS – December 10 – Hennepin County Medical Center (Hennepin) was presented with the Consumer Health World Award for its public awareness and prevention campaign about traumatic brain injuries. The awards recognize excellence and advancement in the health and wellness industries that strive to enhance consumer ability to better manage healthcare expenditures and actively take control of their quality of life. Award recipients were announced during this year’s Consumer Health World conference held in Arlington, VA (December 8-10, 2008).

Hennepin’s “Save This Brain” campaign, an effort to educate consumers about the impact, recognition, prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injuries (TBI), placed second to WebMD in the Best Health Promotion Initiative category for its innovation, value to the public, impact, return on investment and scalability.

“This has really been a remarkable campaign for us,” said Ted Blank, director of marketing at Hennepin County Medical Center. “To be recognized for our contribution in consumer’s quality of life is really special. The feedback we have received has been great and helps illustrate that our efforts are making a valuable difference.”

The campaign, created with Minneapolis agency Russell Herder, was a multifaceted initiative that included a series of community events, outreach efforts and a special website, SaveThisBrain.org, that allows people to get information on TBI and take a closer look at how their brain makes them who they are. Minnesotans may best remember this brain-saving campaign by the rolling bathtub, complete with shower steam and would-be bathers in robes and slippers that made its way along Nicollet Mall on a hot summer day this August. The bathtub was being used to call attention to the leading cause of TBI – falls.

Hennepin’s “Save This Brain” campaign was carefully chosen from an assembly of extremely qualified competitors around the globe, by a panel of judges who represent a broad array of healthcare industry experts, according to Wendy Borow-Johnson, Consumer Health World chair.

RUSSELL HERDER LAUNCHES NEW CAMPAIGN TO SAVE YOUR BRAIN
Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) partnered with Minneapolis agency Russell Herder to develop an innovative campaign to raise public awareness about brain injuries. The campaign, launched in the Twin Cities and regional markets in mid-August, is an effort to educate the public on the prevention, recognition and treatment of traumatic brain injuries – a leading cause of death and disability among children and young adults.

The nationally recognized Twin Cities Level 1 Trauma hospital aims to heighten people’s appreciation of their brain through a number of online and “on-the-street” initiatives, including the campaign’s Web site, SaveThisBrain.org, special events and a number of community outreach efforts. “We challenged Russell Herder to get us out in front of the community”, said HCMC’s director of marketing Ted Blank. “They were able to address a very serious subject in an innovative and meaningful manner.”

The Web site, SaveThisBrain.org, allows users to “build their own brain,” save it to an online gallery and share their brain with friends. Throughout the site, users can learn about the functions and importance of each part of the brain, find out what would happen if any of those parts were injured, and receive information and resources for brain injury prevention and treatment.

As part of the launch, HCMC spread the word about brain injuries and SaveThisBrain.org on the streets of downtown Minneapolis in a unique way.

A rolling bathtub, complete with shower steam and a bevy of would-be bathers made its way along Nicollet Mall on Tuesday, August 19. The tub was being used to call attention to the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries – falls. Representatives wrapped in robes and slippers accompanied the tub on its trip between Fifth Street and Peavey Plaza.

The campaign launched its second phase on Thursday, August 21, when Hennepin County Medical Center’s “Brain Bar” interacted with the bustling summer crowd on Nicollet Mall. The Brain Bar is an educational, interactive kiosk that allows people to take a closer look at how their brain really makes them who they are. “Our campaign is based on quality interactions and consumer engagement, and although it’s still early, that’s what the results illustrate thus far”, added Brent Doering, Russell Herder’s vice president of client services.

The Brain Bar will take to the road for the next month with event appearances at the Minnesota State Fair’s Kid’s Day on August 25; the Minnesota Thunder’s September 13 match versus the Charleston Battery at the National Sports Center; the Minneapolis Bike Tour on September 14; the Brain Injury Awareness Day at the Dome with the Minnesota Twins on September 24; and the Walk for Thought in Como Park on October 4.

JUST FOR KIX ANNOUNCES COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH CHOREOGRAPHER SHANE SPARKS
BAXTER, Minn.—Dancewear manufacturer and instruction provider Just For Kix has recently entered into a collaborative relationship with renowned hip-hop choreographer and performer Shane Sparks. The alliance has already produced an in-demand and hugely attended workshop with Sparks and a line of dancewear inspired by the personality. A much-anticipated ad campaign featuring Sparks will be released later this fall.

Just For Kix owners Cindy and Steve Clough first decided to pursue a relationship with Sparks because his philosophy of dance instruction was so consistent with the organization’s: “Shane loves teaching and equipping others to be more creative and to be better dancers. This is perfectly in line with our vision of offering instruction and apparel that unleash the creativity of young dancers,” reports Cindy.

At the Just For Kix-sponsored photo session and workshop on May 10, over 400 dancers from around the Midwest were able to get a taste of Spark’s passion for dance. “People are born with the ability to create. That’s a gift, and I’m at a point in my life where I want to see and develop creativity in other people,” explains Sparks.
Just for Kix is excited to offer a new line of dancewear inspired by Sparks. The line gives dancers specializing in urban and hip-hop styles clothing that both looks the part and enables the freedom of movement required by these dynamic dance forms. Currently a City Street Hoodie, a Camo Skull Tee and a Linked Chain Tee are available from www.justforkix.com.
As part of the collaboration with Sparks, a series of Just For Kix brand ads were produced, featuring Sparks and other performers promoting the company’s growing involvement in hip-hop dance. The ads are set to run in the fall of 2008 and can be viewed on the Just For Kix website. Videos of the exclusive Just For Kix Shane Sparks interview and photo session are also available on the website.

Just For Kix started in April, 1981 as a "part-time" venture out of Cindy and Steve Clough’s home. Today, Just For Kix offers hundreds of dance- and cheer-related products and oversees dance team programs in over 150 communities with approximately 18,000 dancers throughout Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin.
