Partners, Campaigns, and Recognition

A sample of successful public health campaigns produced and managed by JB Media Group include:

In 2022, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recognized our agency and partner organizations for the regional My Reason WNC COVID-19 Safety Campaign in Western North Carolina.

CASE STUDY:

From 2020 to 2024, the JB Media team collaborated with the WNC Health Network and regional community-based partners, including WNC county health departments, to produce and share messages on crucial public health issues and public health behaviors. 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health workers and providers wanted to share important and timely messages with residents. The WNC Health Network worked with JB Media Group to use the region’s collective, but limited, resources, centralize health literacy, and build trust with the public through the Communicators Collaborative

The objectives of the collaborative were to:

  • Create a trusted, regionally-coordinated health communication brand that supports public health interventions to change behavior and even save lives
  • Provide the public with information on key health topics
  • Reach and build trust with all residents of WNC and be inclusive of all communities and people in the region

The collaborative’s first campaign, My Reason WNC, focused on COVID-19 safety and prevention. It featured services, such as digital and print advertising, partner and community engagement, social media training, and digital toolkits. 

CASE STUDY:

Western North Carolina Health Network #ViewFromHere Campaign

Later, we applied what we learned from the My Reason WNC campaign and adapted it to meet the needs of evergreen health issues within the region. The View From Here campaign explored problems including well-being and mental health, nutrition, physical activity, and substance use disorder. Campaign partners included 20 regional health departments and two partner community health organizations.
