“Shredding” misperceptions to drive small group membership.

Piedmont Community Health Plan is well-regarded in its Virginia service area – quality plans, great service, etc. – but it wasn’t always the most affordable option for small businesses. With an emphasis on expanding their small group book of business, Piedmont recently launched plans with highly-competitive prices…and they tapped Media Logic to help spread the word.

To break through to this audience (and their “gatekeeper” brokers/agents), we developed a campaign that tapped into a small business owner’s single greatest fear: wasted dollars and lost profits. Using the simple metaphor of money being wantonly shredded, the campaign seeded the notion that their business may be overpaying for health insurance – and directed them to get a quote from Piedmont.

The effort included an attention-grabbing TV spot (featuring 3-D animation we developed in-house), direct mail and other media targeting the employer audience – resulting in an immediate uptick in quotes and inquiries.

Small Business, Big Opportunity: Understanding the SBO Segment in 2026

Small business owners have always occupied a unique space in the financial services landscape- different from standard consumer products, yet often too small to access the tools built for corporate clients. But in 2026, that gap appears to be closing. New research reveals a segment defined by ambition, self-reliance, and a growing frustration with the status quo. Understanding what drives SBOs (their mindset, their pain points, and the opportunities they represent) is the first step toward building messaging and products that resonate.
