UnitedHealthcare's most successful preventative health program

Real Appeal changes lives by combining clinically-proven weight loss methods into an engaging and highly-personalized experience.

To create that experience, Signature designed an end-to-end program with Hollywood-quality videos, online coaching platforms, digital tools, home-kits and more.

What We Designed:

• Member Portal
• Mobile App
• Email and Notifications
• Trackers that Synch w/ 3rd-Party Apps
• At-Home Kit
• 500 Pages of Content
• 10 Hours of Video Programming
• Fitness Workouts
• Nutrition Guides

Real Appeal is all about the journey towards a better lifestyle, guided by an excellent experience. That’s why Real Appeal participants are treated like members, not patients. Members of the program are given the support and tools they need to make changes, always in a positive light. We designed all communications and branding with a focus on wellness, not illness.

Participants personalize their program to meet their diet and exercise preferences, and can easily sync with third-party apps like Fitbit. With the reporting tool, Real Appeal coaches can monitor and advise participants based on patient outcomes.

Carefully timed conditional notifications and communication triggers were developed to encourage participants to stay on track and take small steps to success.

One-to-one human interaction is key to motivating people, so we developed live over-the-internet group coaching sessions that took place each week and allowed the participants to interact with the coach and lesson plan, followed up with a digital quiz.

Getting something in your hands makes it all real, so we developed the packaging and materials for a kit delivered to the participant’s home. We worked with key industry experts in nutrition and fitness to create 52 weeks of tips, educational information, recipes, lesson plans, and exercise routines, delivered to your phone and your home.

Real Appeal was developed as a corporate health program, provided by businesses as a free value to their employees.  It was essential to help the internal HR departments communicate the value of the program to their employees, so we created a suite of collateral for their specific uses.

This included posters, presentations, and tabletops for lunch and learns, email strategy, copy and ad templates, intranet blog posts, and mailers, as well as social media posts and a host of media assets.

Real Appeal’s unique ability to drive participation and produce clinically significant weight loss can translate into meaningful cost savings. In a first-of-its-kind, peer-reviewed study analyzing real-world claims data of nearly 15,000 participants, Real Appeal demonstrated more than 2:1 ROI in Three Years.

“It was a pleasure working with Signature Creative through all stages of the development process. From branding, product design and layout, website and mobile development, Signature led and executed on great ideas with remarkable talent, and within an easy and collaborative ecosystem. I felt as though I had a personal concierge leading me through the entire journey, step-by-step. Signature makes the process fun, provides a personal touch, and delivers a quality product. I’d be happy to work with them again and again.”
