Case study

TELUS Health MyCare

The doctor will see you now. A campaign that extended TELUS’s trusted network into healthcare , bringing virtual care to rural, remote, and Indigenous communities across Canada, and bringing back the house call for a digital age.

01 Strategy

A telecom, earning its right to play in healthcare.

Canadians knew TELUS as a telecom, not a healthcare provider. To launch TELUS Health MyCare , a virtual-care platform connecting patients with doctors nationwide , we had to solve two communications challenges at once: earn TELUS the right to play in healthcare, and educate the country on virtual care as a category.

The strategic pivot: lean into what TELUS already owned , the network. Reframe connection and access as the foundation of modern care, and position MyCare as a lifeline for the people most underserved by the status quo: rural, remote, and Indigenous communities.

The campaign platform

“The doctor will
see you now.”

A line that reframes a century-old phrase for a new era. Wherever you are , a mountain pass, a campground, a living room , care is on the way.

02 Identity

A healthcare brand, built on a telecom’s trust.

03 Messaging

Three truths. One network.

Pillar 01

See a doctor from anywhere.

Care that travels with you , across provinces, postal codes, time zones, and terrain. The network makes the house call possible again.

Pillar 02

A lifeline, not a login.

Frame virtual care around human outcomes , trusted clinicians, timely advice, prescriptions, follow-up , not app features.

Pillar 03

Built for where care isn’t.

Prioritize rural, remote, and Indigenous communities , audiences for whom the absence of a local clinic is the barrier virtual care solves.

04 Activation

Everywhere Canadians live, work, and wander.

An integrated campaign spanning TV, OOH, print, radio, direct mail, digital, and in-clinic signage , anchored by the line and the landscape.
