We know brand health; let’s talk personal health

Affordable health care remains a major issue in Southern Nevada. The Health Services Coalition (HSC) — a nonprofit representing 27 self-funded employers and 308,000 members, including many first responders — is working to secure fair hospital rates for its members.
HSC’s negotiations with Valley Health Systems, a large hospital group, have stalled, with Valley asking for almost double the rates of other Nevada hospital groups. Without an agreement, thousands of Southern Nevadans could lose access to emergency room care, 1,800 doctors will need to change hospitals, and members would lose pediatric oncology services.
Now enter R&R. We partnered with the HSC to launch a strategic awareness campaign about negotiations for affordable health care in Nevada. The effort includes digital, static and mobile out-of-home billboards that launched last week, and a new landing page and earned media (coming soon) to spotlight the issue.
Amazing work, team: Jennifer Francis, Daysha Catchings, Anna Antillon, Emmarose Villanueva Terry, Avery Mainor, Jeremy Fishman, Ryan Lord, Ashlyn Hadaway, Arnie DiGeorge, Catherine Cole, Nick Vassiliadis, Paul Smith, Theresa Menz, Joel Clement, Rylie Sweikert, Dan Freeman and Rayanne Gomez.

Now entering the final lap

It’s race month and that means the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix (LVGP), LVCVA and R&R teams are grinding, including hosting another epic fan experience – this time in New Mexico. The activation set out to engage international crowds and excite fans from all over through swag giveaways, photo opportunities and just an overall good time. This was one of several pop-ups the teams hosted, including Montreal, Canada; Spa, Belgium; Silverstone, England; and Monza, Italy; drawing in fans from around the world. And as the checkered flag is fast approaching on Las Vegas race day, what better time is there to show off the brilliance and excitement of the LVGP.
Way to race, team: Rob Dondero, Richard Oldfield, Chuck Monn, Matt Matzen, Tricia Anthony, Cierra Moore, Kat Urban, Josh Burns, Erika Buder, Farris Hopkins, Kyle Goleman, Audrey Sigel, Kenadee Bias, Blake Morris, Mariya Munsey, Logan O’Brien, Kristen Hart, Felicia Cerna, Destin Cox, Erin McCleskey, Nick Valente and Kristi Larsen.

Get her a mic, stat

Our SVP, head of production, Kat Urban, was a guest on the Filmmakers in Advertising podcast and, as always, she shared deep insights, her wild journey into this industry and even great advice for others.

I wish every day were Nevada Day

The GA team brought a little bit of home to the nation’s Capital, hosting a Nevada Day celebration with the Nevada State Society and the LVGP teams. SVP of government affairs, Ryan McGinness, introduced Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo to the group and spoke about the importance of coming together to bring positive changes to the state. The event was hosted at the F1 Arcade in Washington, D.C., and our other R&Rers, Kevin O’Connor, Erin Mowry, Rylee McIver, Micheal Lisowski and Jackson Oltman, joined in the festivities.
