Case study 02 / Washington Health System

A hospital merger, explained with confidence.

Brand

Washington Health System

Role

Executive Producer

Focus

High-stakes communication

01 / The challenge

A big change, explained calmly.

Washington Health System needed to explain its new affiliation with UPMC, a major transition affecting patients, employees, and healthcare access across 2 counties, in a way that built confidence rather than confusion.

02 / My role

One plan, every deliverable.

As Executive Producer, I scoped the project so 1 shoot would deliver 3 edits plus a branded template package WHS could keep using after launch, and I ran production through delivery.

03 / The approach

Shoot once, cut three ways.

The team built branded animated templates, including title cards, end cards, and custom lower thirds, then delivered the core story in 3 formats from 1 shoot: a master cut, an interview cut, and a short-form story.

A branded template system of title cards, end cards, and lower thirds for all future WHS content.
