The challenge

Signia is a leading hearing aid brand, known for combining advanced technology with stylish design. In a category saturated with claims about solving speech intelligibility in noisy situations, how could they cut through and convince everyone their innovation really has solved it?

Approach

While most hearing aid manufactures address the low-level benefit of speech-in-noise (“Now you can hear conversations more clearly”), no one was talking about the value of conversations themselves. By owning this narrative, we could find an emotional connection to the product benefit. Audiological technology can be a difficult thing to visualize – how do you show an effect that you can only hear? We worked with Signia’s audiology team to ensure that their groundbreaking system was distilled into a visual representation that could be understood intuitively.

Solution

We developed the concept “The Power of Conversation” which showcased the personal and social value that being able to hear and contribute to conversations can give people.

Result

The concept and campaign helped to solidify Signia’s position as an innovation leader and premium brand within its category – while also uniting the global organization around the product launch.
