DALLAS STARS’ GOALIE JAKE OETTINGER BECOMES PHENOMENOTTER.

In 2023, Launch Agency teamed up with Baylor Scott & White Health and the Dallas Stars to bring you Motivotter––the inner voice of Dallas Stars’ goalie, Jake Oettinger. This season, a new character has emerged and he’s got his own heavy-metal theme song. Meet Phenomenotter, the animated flying otter who comes to life every time Jake Oettinger unleashes his power on the ice.

The animated film featuring Phenomenotter was created by Psyop’s award-winning animator Gary Levesque with Wizz. Both agency and client collaborated on the catchy lyrics that will undoubtedly get stuck in your head. And composer, Damon Criswell did the arrangement with local 80s-crooner, Travis Willis hitting all the high notes. If the :30 leaves you wanting more, you can listen to the full minute-long song here.

The multi-channel campaign drives to Phenomenotter.com and an AR filter on Instagram and TikTok created in partnership with Subvrsive. The filter allows fans to unleash their inner superhero by transforming into Phenomenotter just like Jake. After all, “he’s a metaphor for the power inside you and me.”

To further inspire fans to use the AR filter, a social video is making the rounds featuring local sports personalities like “Gen X Davey” Lane and Bob Sturm from The Hardline on the The Ticket, Dallas Stars announcer, Daryl “Razor” Reaugh and Hilary Asher of the Dallas Stars Ice Girls.

Since the debut of the campaign, Stars fans can’t stop singing the Phenomenotter song. Many are filling social media with their own memes, GIFs and even a custom Phenomenotter jersey. If the goal was fan engagement, Baylor Scott & White Health is already scoring big.

Baylor Scott & White Health is proud to be the official healthcare partner of the Dallas Stars.

Unleashing the power for Baylor Scott & White Health.

The power to live better™

Repositioning the largest not-for-profit healthcare system in the state takes a Texas-sized effort. To introduce Baylor Scott & White Health’s new mission to empower its patients, Launch Agency was proud to team up with agency partners, Monigle, Camelot Media and Door No. 3. Our combined efforts created a campaign that’s already seeing powerful results with a 12% increase in brand equity.*

The new customer-first positioning led to the creation of a new tagline from Launch, “The Power To Live Better” and a new brand identity from brand experience agency, Monigle. “The real power in healthcare lies within our customers, they allow us to do what we love. Our role is to inspire them to live better every day. This refreshing and joyful campaign repositions us as the support our patients need to improve every aspect of the care they receive,” said Ben Day, Director of Creative & Brand Management at Baylor Scott & White Health.

Launch Spot

By partnering with award-winning directing trio, The Fold, we created a series of spots taking viewers on an energetic and empowering journey showing what healthcare looks like from the POV of the consumer. The soundtrack for all spots includes vintage gospel song “Power” by Mattie Wigley that was rearranged by local musician Damon Criswell. And photography by Callie Lipkin beautifully celebrates our new visual expression across print, OOH, social and digital.

*Among key healthcare systems in our markets, Baylor Scott & White Health was the only brand to see significant movement in brand equity measures, with BERA scores showing a 12% increase from Q3 to Q4. The next closest brand saw only a 6.4% difference.

Get care now. Like now, now.

To announce the news that the MyBSWHealth app now connects you to Baylor Scott & White Health 24/7, we partnered with award-winning director Eli Green to create a series of charming spots focusing on what happens when we get sick after hours or on weekends––you know, times when the doctor’s office is usually closed.

From frantically searching the internet for clues to creating less-than-appetizing homeopathic remedies, we see real-life scenarios get solved by simply connecting patients with the expert physicians at MyBSWHealth.

“Urgency is a tricky message in humor. With a hint of levity and character performance, we found a tone that connects need and relatability for Baylor Scott & White Health,” said Eli Green of Cultivate Media.

The television commercials launched during Dallas Cowboys games and even mention that you can get care during the game. Digital and social executions feature actual clocks that call out the exact time they are running to emphasize you can get care right this very minute. And airport OOH speaks to the fact that you can get care right now between flights.

By correlating with the times and places you can get care through the MyBSWHealth app, this charming campaign hopes to empower patients across Texas to get the care they need whenever they need it. Like right now. Later today. On weekends. At the airport. In the grocery store. You get the idea…

The campaign is running in North and Central Texas on television, print, OOH and social platforms like Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook.
