Greenberg Seronick O’Leary & Partners in Boston has created ads in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese and Cambodian for an insurance program launched by the Massachusetts Division of Medical Assistance. The program seeks to help small businesses defray the cost of employee health insurance.
One spot shows a young boy and his mother peering into a storefront window. The camera angle changes to reveal that they are gazing into a doctor’s office.
