Novo Nordisk reframes weight loss, centering support over solitude

With the release of Wegovy, Novo Nordisk has helped transform how people think about and act on weight loss. However the Copenhagen-based pharmaceutical company wanted this rethinking to evolve further, and so it launched a campaign aimed at shifting the focus of weight loss from a personal endeavor to a movement of shared experiences.

The effort, created with agency ConcentricLife, is the bronze winner of Integrated Campaign of the Year among suppliers, vendors and pharmaceutical companies in the Healthcare Marketing Impact Awards 2024. Drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic have catapulted into mainstream awareness, which Novo Nordisk was able to leverage toward the campaign’s success. In two months, a spot appearing on YouTube garnered more than 14 million views, contributing to the 14,000 health care professionals that visited the Wegovy site, the agency said. As the concept of weight loss continues to evolve beyond mere attention to diet, exercise and willpower, Novo Nordisk wants to emphasize support—a necessary component of managing any chronic disease.
