The PRophy Award has honoured outstanding achievement in healthcare communication across a total of seven categories since 2025. The award underscores the relevance of strategy-driven and socially impactful communication in the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018We are absolutely delighted by this recognition,\u2019 says Bettina Sieber, Director of the Rx Unit, \u2018The award is the result of outstanding teamwork driven by close collaboration between dk, WEFRA LIFE SOLUTIONS in creation and the German Midwives Association.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agenda-setting campaign with measurable impact<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With its \u2018Women Pay the Price\u2019 campaign, the German Midwives Association (Deutscher Hebammenverband<\/em>, DHV) aimed to place one-to-one midwifery care during childbirth on the political agenda in the 2025 election year. The campaign simultaneously directed the public\u2019s attention to an issue that had until then not been considered widely: violence against women during childbirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a clear need for action as every third woman in Germany reports having experienced trauma during childbirth. Against that background, the campaign focused specifically on raising awareness, mobilising society and increasing political pressure for action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cross-media activation with high reach and engagement<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The campaign centred around a petition on the openPetition platform for the German Midwives Association\u2019s demand. It employed a cross-media activation strategy specifically to mobilise the general public. The campaign gained additional momentum from its creative, attention-grabbing and emotionally charged core concept, which gave the issue high visibility and resonance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, more than 217,000 signatures were collected within just three months, exceeding the original target by more than 100 per cent. The campaign consequently achieved not only high visibility, but also strong target audience activation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n About dk Life Science Communications<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n dk Life Science Communications has been one of Germany\u2019s leading healthcare communication agencies for over 30 years.
