Arthritis

Mower is selected by the Arthritis Foundation to lead the organization’s 2023 awareness campaign, “We Journey Together.” The effort will include in-depth market research, brand strategy, creative development, media planning and buying, and public relations, all directed toward increasing recognition and visibility for those who have arthritis as well as those indirectly affected by the disease and its related conditions. The Foundation provides connection and empowerment for the nearly 60 million adults and 300,000 children diagnosed with arthritis—the number one cause of disability in the United States. “The work is giving us an opportunity to connect directly with patients, caregivers and other audiences to learn their stories and more about their motivations and unmet needs,” said Mower senior vp Lisa Huggins.
