It’s important to us that we help our orthodontists find ways to give back to their communities! We’re excited to announce the results we’ve achieved with Fishbein Orthodontics and the EmBraces anti-bullying campaign. Here’s how it went:
In the Fall of 2018, Dr. Ben Fishbein (Owner of Fishbein Orthodontics) called eNox Media and asked us to help him brainstorm ways to give back to the community. We were super excited to help bring his vision to life!
Dr. Fishbein’s goals of serving our community align with our own goals, and they’re also particularly rewarding for his practice – in terms of connecting with the community and building a strong orthodontic brand.
Practices that dedicate resources to bettering the community and becoming a true participant in their community tend to build some of the most recognizable, successful brands in the industry. Getting involved with your community is an opportunity to understand your market’s needs, connect with families in your area, showcase your practice’s core values and strengthen your brand identity.
When asked what was important to him and what types of community issues have been most apparent to him in his profession, Dr. Fishbein said bullying prevention in schools. We put our heads together and come up with an anti-bullying initiative that offers free orthodontic treatment for kids who were being bullied due to their smiles.
Dr. Fishbein loved the idea – and the EmBraces campaign was born.
We started by developing the concept, name, logo and collateral for the EmBraces campaign. We also created a landing page on Fishbein Orthodontics’ website, as well as a blog post shared to social media to raise awareness.
In the first year, 26 students applied, and 6 students began free treatment.
In 2021, through partnership with local radio station Cat Country, the initiative evolved from requiring essays from applicants to simply asking for nominations of applications.
Now, the EmBraces campaign is in its 6th year. Fishbein Orthodontics receives nearly a hundred applicants per year, and awards one applicant with free treatment every month! That’s 12 full orthodontic treatments at no cost per year – and about 70 winners to date.
We created announcement graphics for the campaign, and distributed press releases.
Around the same time, Dr. Fishbein decided to expand the initiative to encompass a goal of awarding $1,000,000 in free smiles over the next 5 years (2018-2023). They reached their million-dollar goal in 3 years, and have continued to give since!
We created the logo for their $1,000,000 initiative and launched the Fishbein Foundation website as a platform to showcase their new philanthropic activities outside of the EmBraces campaign.
