Strategic Decision
The A-Ha Moment
How we fight cancer has changed forever.
The Creative
We took inspiration from the meaning of ethos—the characteristic spirit of a culture, era, or community; its beliefs and aspirations—to create our initial marketing materials. So we decided not to rely on the expected route of showcasing beauty shots of the product.
Instead, we built intrigue by starting out with messaging, visuals, and identity that spoke to Ethos as being a completely new belief system—a true paradigm shift in how the world will fight cancer from here on out. A turning point in history where human expertise and high technology converge, triggering a moment (The Moment of Ethos) where things will never be the same.
Then, it was time to show the metal. We developed print, video, digital banners, landing pages, brochures, mobile, internal communications, and tradeshow materials in Europe and the US to introduce Varian’s revolutionary new Adaptive Intelligence™ solution—Ethos therapy—to the world.
