Advocate Health Care
When Advocate Health and the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services needed to reach nearly two million underserved Chicagoland residents during a global pandemic, they called Birk Creative. The result was "We Got You" — a multilingual, multichannel public awareness campaign built on cultural fluency and strategic precision. From campaign naming and visual identity to billboards, TikTok, radio spots, custom emoji, and programmatic ad buys, Birk delivered an integrated creative strategy that exceeded new patient acquisition goals and earned a Fast Company Innovation Award. It's the kind of work that proves what's possible when creativity, community, and purpose align.
