Every day, more than eleven thousand Americans turn 65. For most of them, that birthday comes with a mailbox full of plan brochures, a TV full of insurance ads and a decision that will shape their healthcare for the next year. Amma exists so nobody has to make that decision alone. Apollo Growth helps them reach the people who need it.

The problem

Medicare is a maze

Medicare isn’t one decision. It’s a series of them, and most people never stop to compare.

Traditional Medicare or Medicare Advantage, which drug plan, which doctors are in network, and whether last year’s choice still makes sense this year. The people least likely to review their options are often the ones who need help most: older beneficiaries, people managing complex conditions and families juggling care for a parent.

A healthcare advocate for every American

Amma started from a simple question: what if every American had a healthcare advocate? The company matches patients and families with experienced advocates, typically nurses and care professionals, who guide them through complex medical journeys, from understanding coverage to finding in-network specialists and sorting out denials.

For people on Medicare and older adults with insurance questions, that means a real person who can explain what changed in their plan, what to ask and what to do next. Learn more about Amma.

Our approach

Trust-first marketing for a high-stakes category

Healthcare advocacy is built on trust, so the marketing has to be too. Here’s what we build for Amma.

Static ad batches

Insurance, denial, network and care-coordination angles, iterated batch after batch.

Video & storyboards

Advocate-led UGC scripts and storyboards delivered in monthly video batches.

Landing pages

Conversion-focused, state-specific and service-specific pages to match each ad angle.

Organic social

A planned content calendar that keeps Amma helpful between campaigns.

The creative

Four angles, one promise: you don’t have to do this alone

A look at the Meta static ads we designed for Amma, organized by the insurance pain point each one answers. Every concept ships in feed, square, story and landscape sizes.

Angle 01You have insurance. Now what?

Turning plan confusion into a clear next step.

Amma Meta ad: Have insurance? You still don't have to figure it out alone.
Amma Meta ad: Health insurance is complicated. Your healthcare doesn't have to be.
Amma Meta ad: Confused about what your insurance actually covers?
Angle 02Insurance denials

Meeting people at the moment insurance says no.

Amma Meta ad: Insurance said no. That doesn't always mean the conversation is over.
Amma Meta ad: Denied care? Understand your next step.
Angle 03Finding in-network doctors

Taking the phone-call marathon off their plate.

Amma Meta ad: Finding a doctor who takes your insurance shouldn't be this hard.
Amma Meta ad: Stop calling doctors one by one.
Angle 04Someone who sees the whole picture

Positioning the advocate as the care quarterback.

Amma Meta ad: Meet your healthcare quarterback.
Amma Meta ad: Five doctors. One insurance plan. Nobody coordinating it all?
Amma Meta ad: When healthcare gets complicated, someone needs to own the whole picture.
Built for Medicare

What healthcare-ready creative looks like

Marketing to people on Medicare comes with real responsibilities. These guardrails are built into every Amma asset.

Required disclaimers on every ad

Coverage language like “Coverage varies. Not insurer-affiliated.” is built into every layout, at every size.

Careful insurer & Medicare language

Plan acceptance is stated precisely, and nothing implies government or insurer affiliation.

Designed for older eyes

Large type, high contrast and one idea per ad, so the message lands at a glance.

Empathy over fear

Real situations and calm reassurance instead of scare tactics or urgency gimmicks.

“The opportunity isn’t to shout louder than every insurance ad on TV. It’s to be the calm, human voice people actually trust.”

Takeaways

5 lessons for healthcare marketers

A few things we’ve learned building trust-first creative for an older audience. Steal them.

  1. 01
    Lead with the question people are already asking.

    The strongest hooks come straight from the questions advocates hear every week. If someone has typed it into a search bar, it belongs in the headline.

  2. 02
    Faces beat logos.

    For an audience flooded with insurance ads, real people in real care moments earn more trust than polished brand graphics.

  3. 03
    Write for the caregiver too.

    Many healthcare decisions are made with an adult child in the room. Speak to both.

  4. 04
    Time content to the calendar.

    Open enrollment, turning 65 and plan-change letters are natural moments to show up with help, not hype.

  5. 05
    Compliance is a creative constraint, not a blocker.

    Disclaimers, careful claims and accessibility rules shape the layout from the first sketch, so nothing gets watered down at review.
