Approach
Engage them socially.
When innovation is truly life-changing, it’s easier to talk about the most personal medical conditions – even on Facebook. Coloplast used social media to introduce SpeediCath® Compact Set (a simplified, easy-to-use catheter) to patients looking for more freedom, discretion and confidence.
The “Live Big, Pack Small” campaign showed how SpeediCath provided users with new levels of freedom, and invited them to enter a contest to win the travel package of their dreams.
