Heidi, the AI care partner used by leading healthcare providers worldwide, has launched a new brand campaign with Cocogun and TRG designed to bring “a sense of relief” to clinicians working across U.S. healthcare systems. The effort brings together independent Australia-based creative firm Cocogun and media agency TRG to spotlight how AI can help ease the pressures facing healthcare professionals.

Heidi handles the work that surrounds care so clinicians can shift the focus to the human in the room. Co-founded in Australia by Dr Thomas Kelly, the brand is built on a deep understanding of what healthcare systems actually demand of the people inside them. That understanding is what shaped Heidi’s new brand platform: Relief, on repeat.

The key challenge for the campaign is to drive awareness and build brand affinity in the crowded US market, and beyond. This called for a distinctive approach, leaning away from healthcare category stereotypes towards creative that earns attention.

Heidi’s new campaign flips the familiar language and tropes of much-maligned Big Pharma advertising, into something optimistic: a dose of Heidi may result in clearer heads, calmer days, and more present care. And, ultimately, a sense of relief for clinicians and the leaders of healthcare systems across the US.

Fronted by a Chief Medical Officer with a little swagger and plenty of warmth, the campaign brings humor, relatability and entertainment into a category awash with earnest takes and ultra-sincere clichés. It is also a deliberate response to the moment. The pressure to adopt AI is coming from every direction, from boards and leadership mandates to clinicians already driving uptake. Ninety-eight percent of clinicians continue using Heidi once they’ve tried it. In a category defined by claims, the campaign captures what making the right choice actually feels like: relief.

With the film directed by Alex Roberts – represented in North America by Hungryman – and stills by Cara O’Dowd, the campaign was a tight collaboration between Cocogun, the Heidi brand team, and FINCH and Chee Productions, with media strategy and buying by TRG.

Heidi Head of Brand Hayley Stafford said: “Healthcare advertising has developed a clinical detachment of its own. The irony is that clinicians deal with the full weight of human experience every day, and yet the brands serving them default to functional and one-note messaging. We wanted to make something that treated clinicians like the whole, complex, occasionally exhausted humans they actually are. Relief starts small. But it compounds. We couldn’t help but take that idea as far as it could go.”

Cocogun co-founder and creative partner Ant Melder said: “The Heidi mission is so important. Because better patient care begins with care for every clinician, and the hardworking people who support them. So it was a joy to bring a relatable smile to the theme, in a way that cuts through the sea of sameness, tidal waves of triteness, and waterfalls of worthy.”

Director Alex Roberts said: “Healthcare advertising is not traditionally where you go to have a good time, so this one caught me off guard in the best way. There were real challenges to crack, but our crew and cast were incredible, and Heidi and the Cocogun team were such natural collaborators that it never felt like hard work. Really proud of what we made together.”

“Heidi and Cocogun built something genuinely distinctive, and distinctiveness only works if enough people see it, repeatedly, over time,” says TRG Chief Strategy Officer Chris Ferrel. “Our role is to give this campaign the stage it deserves, reaching clinicians and decision-makers whether they’re choosing today or two years from now. When the creative is this good, media’s job is simply to create the conditions for it to lodge Heidi into memory before the buying moment arrives.”

The campaign is now live globally, spanning CTV, YouTube, OOH, radio, and digital media.

The U.S. Office of the Assistant Secretary for Industrial Base Policy, a division of the federal government, announced today the launch of Build Freedom, an initiative to promote skilled trades in the U.S. Build Freedom will launch this week in Texas, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, with more states coming on later this year.

As the nation celebrates its 250th birthday this weekend, the U.S. government, and specifically the Department of War, recognizes the urgent need to close the skills gap and strengthen America’s defense manufacturing and industrial base. This initiative will provide opportunities for people to get skilled-trades training and get paid to be part of something that matters, not just to American families but to our national security. Build Freedom also aims to connect young Americans interested in learning a trade by providing scholarships, apprenticeships, training opportunities, and job postings through Build Freedom’s newly launched website, BuildFreedom.US.

Build Freedom has joined with Mike Rowe, founder of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation and host of the hit reality-TV series Dirty Jobs. Mike has spent almost two decades as America’s leading advocate for the skilled trades.

“Right now, there’s a massive shortage of skilled tradespeople in our country. For every five skilled tradespeople who retire, only two are entering the workforce to replace them. That gap is widening, and it’s affecting our country’s ability to build ships, aircraft, vehicles, defense systems, and energy infrastructure. It’s also making it hard for the average American to find a plumber or an electrician,” said Rowe. “Build Freedom is a national effort to reinvigorate the skilled trades by shining a light on hundreds of thousands of AI-proof, six-figure jobs currently open in the defense industrial base. My foundation is pleased to offer scholarships for these essential jobs, and I’m honored to help launch the initiative.”

“This is not simply an employment issue,” Rowe added. “It’s bigger than that. The skills gap is now a matter of national security, and our federal government is committed to closing it.”

As part of this partnership, the Office of Defense Industrial Base Policy, Department of War, announced a $10 million grant to the mikeroweWORKS Foundation and its Work Ethic Scholarship Program. To date, the program has awarded over $16 million in scholarships and helped launch thousands of high-paying careers in the skilled trades.

The Office of Defense Industrial Base Policy tapped Texas-based advertising agency TRG to lead marketing efforts for Build Freedom including creative, media strategy, and branding efforts.

Huck is known for his admiration of first responders and military members and his love of Independence Day. He’s delivered handmade bracelets, along with groceries, sweet treats and meals to first responders and military members. What started as an activity to help him build confidence has turned into a passion for serving and giving back to those who serve others. 

After sharing their story with Southwest, we chose to honor Huck and his family by hosting them at the iconic Times Square Ball, which dropped for the first time outside of New Years Eve to welcome our nation’s 250th birthday.  

Southwest hosted a bracelet making event in Huck’s hometown to make sure he was stocked and ready to go. Along the way, Huck was celebrated by Southwest Employees and Customers as he shared his story.  

Huck got to hand out his bracelets to first responders and military members at America’s Block Party. Through Huck’s journey, Southwest was proud to help connect communities and celebrate the people whose service helps make freedom, opportunity, and connection possible every day.

Every Fourth of July, Americans do two things: blow stuff up and eat with their fingers. According to the US Consumer Product & Safety Commission, one in three firework injuries affects fingers and hands. As a brand obsessed with bringing people Finger Lickin’ Good fried chicken, that puts way too many people at risk of not being able to eat fried chicken as it should be enjoyed.

So on the most dangerous day of the year for fingers, KFC has launched an irreverent public service announcement in partnership with jackass: best and last to save those fingers.

Starring America’s sweetheart himself, Johnny Knoxville, directed by Jeff Tremaine and created by Highdive, the spot brings jackass energy to this holiday safety message that delivers five important firework safety tips in an effort to help people think twice before accidentally injuring even a thumbnail.

As Steven Fogel and Doug Fallon, executive creative directors at Highdive, explained, “Nobody owns fingers quite like KFC. So when we learned the Fourth of July is America’s biggest day for finger injuries, we saw an opportunity to turn a cultural fact into a brand story only KFC could tell.”

One year ago, we started a conversation with US Anesthesia Partners about reimagining their new website.

This week, that vision went live!

This wasn’t one of those projects where you design something cool and call it a day. Healthcare demands a different level of diligence.

Over the past year, we worked through governance, accessibility, compliance, content strategy, development, SEO, analytics, and what felt like endless rounds of stakeholder review to make sure every decision served patients, clinicians, and the organization as a whole.

The result:

80+ new pages
25,000+ words of new content
20 new videos
Dedicated experiences for patients, clinicians, and more
12 regional hubs
A modern platform built to support one of the nation’s leading anesthesia organizations

What I’m most proud of isn’t the website itself. It’s the people behind it.
Our team put in an incredible amount of work over the past year. There were early mornings, late nights, and more than a few unexpected challenges along the way, but everyone stayed committed to delivering something we’d all be proud of.

A huge thank you to the entire team at US Anesthesia Partners for trusting us with such an important initiative. It’s been a privilege to work with an organization that performs more than 2 million procedures each year and is committed to delivering exceptional patient care.

Congratulations to everyone involved. Time to catch our breath… and then get back to work.

We get it. Done.

The Viral Body Care Brand Debuts a Candy-Inspired Cleansing Innovation Exclusively at Ulta Beauty

The sweetest treat of the summer isn’t in the candy aisle – it’s waiting in your shower. America’s No. 1 Body Scrub brand, Tree Hut, is debuting its all-new Jelly Soap collection, a fresh take on body care inspired by familiar sweets and designed to bring a little extra fun to self-care routines. Featuring a bouncy texture and three treat-inspired scents, the product line delivers a fresh take on traditional bar soap that’s as playful as it is refreshing.

Tree Hut’s Jelly Soap transforms the everyday shower routine into an unexpected sensory experience. Designed as an in-shower treat, the squishy texture and nourishing formula gently cleanses and moisturizes, leaving skin feeling clean and hydrated. Formulated with Aloe Vera, Vitamin E, and Glycerin, the Jelly Soap replenishes moisture to promote smooth skin. With 35% of US consumers who use bodycare products agree that format (eg stick, cream) is important when shopping for bodycare products, Tree Hut developed Jelly Soap to offer a fresh take on the everyday shower routine. The line features one newly introduced fragrance, Sparkling Sugar, alongside fan-favorite scents Jelly Bear and Raspberry Fizz.

Jelly Soap Collection Includes:

• Sparkling Sugar – A blend of black raspberry, plum and sparkling sugar that captures the essence of sweet treats.
• Jelly Bear – Inspired by gummy candies, Jelly Bear combines juicy orange, lime and raspberry notes for a bright, fruity fragrance bursting with nostalgia.
• Raspberry Fizz – A bubbly blend of raspberry, rose and amber that creates a vibrant fragrance profile with a sparkling finish.

“When we set out to create Jelly Soap, the brief was simple: what does a bar soap look like when Tree Hut makes it?” said Lindsey Scales, Vice President of Marketing at Tree Hut. “The answer had to lead with fun, feel totally unexpected and still deliver the skin-loving results our community expects from us. Jelly Soap is all of that — and we can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on it.”

With craveable fragrance profiles, effective formulas and an immersive new format, Tree Hut’s Jelly Soap invites consumers to rediscover the joy of everyday body care. Designed to engage the senses while delivering skin-loving benefits, the collection brings a fresh perspective to the shower routine to make self-care even sweeter.
