01 · The challenge

Reach a whole city — in two languages, without wasted impressions

Bridgeport is Connecticut’s largest city, with deep linguistic and cultural diversity. The Department of Public Health needed a campaign that reached residents in six densely populated ZIP codes, delivered equitably in English and Spanish, and kept every dollar inside the target geography.

100,000+ residents through paid social media

500,000+ paid social impressions

Language access

02 · The approach

One campaign architecture, four delivery systems

Every channel solved a different reach problem while carrying the same visual identity and public health message.

Original creative

Eight original :30 spots — four English, four Spanish — concepted, scripted, and produced with DPH leadership on camera.

8 videos · 2 languages

Paid social

Separate English and Spanish ad sets, geotargeted to the six priority ZIP codes for clean reporting by language.

6 ZIP codes

Broadcast TV

Real messengers, real language

The Spanish spots were produced as original creative — not dubbed or subtitled versions of the English assets. Department heads and employees appeared on camera, giving the campaign recognizable, credible voices.

We watch the work after it ships

The billboard we refused to accept

Mid-flight, an in-market inspection found that the Route 8 northbound billboard wasn’t delivering the visibility the client paid for. We raised the issue, secured a stronger replacement location on North Avenue — and kept the original posted temporarily at no added cost. The correction happened while the campaign was live, protecting the investment and creating bonus inventory.
