Doors to Creative Expression
When VT Industries came to Bozell for assistance with growing their architectural wood door business, we began by conducting research with architects, their primary target for doors.
The research showed doors were not a top priority decision in most projects. We developed a strategy to provide a memorable connection for VT Industries’ doors with architects to ensure the product was top of mind throughout the design process.
The solution was to showcase VT Industries’ doors as a creative outlet for architects – another way for them to make a building unique. Read More

Rebranding A Leader
Alegent Health is the largest healthcare provider within hundreds of miles of Omaha. Their presence had been overshadowed in an extremely competitive healthcare market that included two academic medical centers and a perennial favorite for anyone having a baby.
Bozell was charged with re-branding Alegent Health in a way that would allow them to strengthen the health system as a whole, as well as work consistently across their multiple locations (8 hospitals and 44 clinics) and their individual services (ranging from cardiology to maternity, Read More

Short Codes Create Short Cuts for Fans
Because of the way the NCAA College World Series is set up as a double elimination, the event is fairly fluid and many fans come into Omaha without tickets hoping to get them on site. As teams are eliminated, tickets are turned in and then available for sale. Further, out-of-town fans are not familiar with Omaha and don’t know where to turn for information. To make the event as simple as possible for fans to attend, Read More

YWCA Rebranding
The National YWCA was an aging organization that faced impending extinction if it didn’t begin to reach out to younger generations for membership, volunteers and financial support.
By working with a 22-member branding committee, Bozell positioned the YWCA USA as a vibrant organization committed to eliminating racism and empowering women.
We developed online and printed toolkits of marketing materials for use by more than 300 local associations, including print ads, radio spots, posters, collateral and more. Read More

A Tour to Remember
Cirque’s show Saltimbanco embarked on a tour of over 40 arenas across Canada and the United States. The new tour model allowed Cirque du Soleil to bring its shows to additional cities, giving more people than ever the opportunity to enjoy a Cirque du Soleil show in their own city. The tour made a stop in Kansas City, and our goal was to gain media coverage of the event and also increase ticket sales for the tour stop by reaching out to area residents in and around the Kansas City Metro area.

A Fresh Take on Story Telling
When the largest privately held bank in the nation wants to celebrate its 150th anniversary, one thing is fairly obvious. It’s got to be big. That’s the exact realization Bozell came to when they began work on First National Bank’s 150th anniversary campaign.
We’ve all seen the stereotypical anniversary campaign. They’re two parts historic photos, one part folksy music and a heavy dash of sepia tones. While they might appeal to the history buffs among us, Read More

To Roll or Not to Roll
A major building products manufacturer faced a tricky question: Which product form and which packaging of that form should be sold in home centers when the product is sold to two very different groups: Do-It-Yourselfers and professional installers?
Understanding their preferences would drive manufacturing plant usage and capacity issues, as well as marketing and promotions. We developed and conducted a nationwide online study consisting of consumers and pros. Respondents were encouraged to participate through a sweepstakes offering home center gift cards as prizes.
