  • Highlight Henry Ford Heart & Vascular Institute’s leadership in breakthrough cardiovascular technology without the cold, clinical tone typical of healthcare advertising.

  • The most persuasive healthcare story isn’t about machines—it’s about trust, love, and the life a healthy heart makes possible.

  • Developed the concept “Helen’s Heart,” following a vibrant 70-year-old celebrating her 50th anniversary. The creative uses projected home movies and family imagery as a visual device—Helen’s memories living around her—to connect her emotional world to the Institute’s precision and innovation. The film threads intimate life moments with cinematic medical imagery, reinforcing the core message: Henry Ford doesn’t just repair hearts—they truly understand them inside and out, creating new pathways of hope.
