Ozempic Launches National TV Spot

August 30, 2018 by admin0

Novo Nordisk launched a branded DTC campaign for Ozempic, a once-weekly GLP-1 injectable prescription for adults with type 2 diabetes that, along with diet and exercise, may improve blood sugar. The national TV spot is set to the catchy 1970s song, “Magic” by Pilot – but uses altered lyrics to educate consumers about the treatment, as well as its risks and benefits. According to the news release, the commercial “portrays typical people living with type 2 diabetes who are working to meet their treatment goals, while participating in everyday activities,” such as a firefighter at his station interacting with community members; a farmer helping a couple picking fruit and vegetables; and a woman visiting an indoor conservatory with her family. The 90-second ad, which shows the actors replying “Oh!” to the same beat of the song as they learn something new about Ozempic, premiered on August 1st.

Ozempic’s campaign is also supported with a print ad and website. The brand received FDA approval in December 2017 for adults with type 2 diabetes, and along with diet and exercise, may improve blood sugar.
