nTo view “Lehigh Valley Health Network” spots and images online go here.nnNationally recognized specialists, the latest diagnostic technology, advanced radiation therapy and sophisticated treatment that targets the genes causing cancer are among the innovations that put Lehigh Valley Health Network in league with the nation’s top medical centers. This campaign, which includes an additional :10 animated spot and web and print images, advances Lehigh’s “passion for better medicine.”nnLed by Harold Moss, Founder/Creative Director of FlickerLab, the studio created an animation in which a door opens, a patient crosses the threshold, a light goes on and a monster called cancer becomes less scary because Lehigh Valley Health Network has what the patient needs to take on that monster.nn”Our aim was to create an emotionally approachable spot and communicate the idea that cancer is a monster that can be beaten. We chose an elegant hand painted animation style to create a fairy tale where the cancer patient is the hero, facing the monster of cancer and literally kicking it to defeat,” explained Moss. “The hero is not alone in this battle, but has a powerful set of allies. Lehigh provides the tools, the emotional support and an unparalleled medical team to help them fight cancer. This is a tale of empowerment.”nnPaul Wingate, Partner/Creative Director of BeaconFey said of the agency’s collaboration with FlickerLab, “Breaking through in today’s cluttered marketplace is critical. So many cancer commercials look the same. This animation creative’s style allowed us to leverage how consumers view cancer โ as a monster – and differentiate the Health System.” Kristen Landsman, a BeaconFey Account Executive who works with the Lehigh Valley Health Network, added, “FlickerLab was a dream to work with โฆ every client request was met with open arms and open minds.”nnCreditsnThe FlickerLab team included Creative Director/Director Harold Moss; Executive Producer Tammy Walters; Designer David Michael Friend; Senior Producer Franklin Zitter; 2D Animators Audrey Skalkowski, Alisa Harris, Simon Ampel, Christi Bertelson, Chris Timmons and Bob Fox; Composite Artists Audrey Skalkowski and Mi-Sook Cho; Animatic Artist Audrey Skalkowski; and Ink and Paint Alison Wilgus.nnThe creative team at BeaconFey, Marketing & Communications included Creative Director/Partner Paul Wingate, Account Executive Kristen Landsman, Executive Producer/Producer Dana Cole, Copywriter Susan Daugherty and Art Director Tracy Kordon.nnRepresenting Lehigh Valley Health Network were Director of Marketing Jo Ann Hart and Marketing Manager Ann Fatzinger.nnDavid J.
