MANKATO , MINN. -
The "DO Campaign" was incredibly successful. But Blue Cross and Blue Shield's newest campaign isn't on exercising. It's all about what we put in our grocery cards. And what people put on their plates, especially parents. HyVee cashier Jessica Gieseke says, "You are your children's biggest influence."
Gieseke is also a mom and says this ad sends a strong message. Gieseke says, "It's really in your face."
It's also a little more serious than past ads. Blue Cross & Blue Shield Wellness and Prevention Vice President Zachary Meyer says, "It was important to start from a good spot and go to the tougher messages because we know some populations we really need to take on those tough issues."
The new ad is serious, but it's still meant to motivate like past ads. Meyer says, "We actually anticipate that this one will actually be more motivational and we hope more meaningful."
For the first time ever, their children's life expectancy could become shorter than their own....and this ad campaign aims to send a message to change that.
