The advertising agency Arnold creates a campaign for Forward Health. The campaign’s tagline is “Healthcare is backwards.”
The two ads in the campaign (Examination Room and Waiting Room) are funny and are based on the reverse speech effect.
The message is clear, but the benefits of Forward Health are not clearly explained. It is more of a brand awareness campaign than advertisements that explain the services offered. The two eye-catching commercials are fun but not memorable.
If you’re wondering what the doctor and receptionist are saying, one commenter had the patience to decipher:
“Hm… It seems to me that you have a deficiency of Vitamin D. I’m a busy man, why don’t you come back and see me in a year’s time?”
“I’m sorry but I don’t have that appointment in my system. Have a seat and fill this out please. Seat. Have a seat”
