Many of them suffer in silence because they think — and have often been told by providers — that pain is just part of the treatment.

In a campaign that excels in simplicity and strong visual messaging, this work for Synera gets right to the problem it solves: A large percentage of patients who are required to get multiple injections as part of treatment dread needle-stick pain. In fact, the number of people who fear this pain is much higher than healthcare providers believe.

The drama and eye-catching nature of the scorpion set the right tone and the right metaphor to trigger discussion with HCPs. It provided them with an idea of how many of their patients view even a simple injection — with fear, anxiety, reservation and even contempt — and reinforced the urgent need to do something about it to help. The campaign has re-energized the sales team, and the product is on track to surpass its 2019 goals. Show less
