End of Year

Objective:
Create a year-end wrap-up post to celebrate the stories and highlights of 2024.

For this campaign, I started by analyzing the year's top-performing posts based on engagement. Using media from the top 10 posts on each channel (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn), I categorized the content into the following key themes...

This year we...
Redefined Possibilities
: Showcasing new product launches and groundbreaking technology
Improved Access to Care: Expanding healthcare reach in rural areas
Engaged: Connecteing with customers and partners at industry trade shows
Traveled Back in Time: Exploring the evolution of medtech and honoring past innovators
Embraced the future: Highlighting AI’s transformative impact on healthcare
Listened: Sharing inspring stories from patients
Celebrated: Honoring employees, holidays, and international observances

Using these themes, I developed two concepts:

  1. A broad overview, grouping achievements into categories
  2. A countdown to 2025, featuring the top 10 moments from this year

Takeaways 

Designing within brand: I enjoyed learning about the history and visual identity of Siemens Healthineers’ brand and how to design within its guidelines. This experience taught me how to experiment and push creative boundaries while maintaining brand consistency.
