Blue Shield of California.


BLUE SHIELD OF CALIFORNIA Blue Shield of California is a not-for-profit health insurance provider headquartered in San Francisco, California. An independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, Blue Shield of California is an incorporated, wholly owned subsidiary of California Physicians'  is taking a unique approach in its first ad campaign in almost six years. Acknowledging consumer dissatisfaction with health insurers, Blue Shield of California pledges PLEDGES, pleading. It was anciently necessary to find pledges or sureties to prosecute a suit, and the names of the pledges were added at the foot of the declaration; but in the course of time it became unnecessary to find such pledges because the plaintiff was no longer liable to be  in the new campaign to make it easier to access health care at competitive rates. Each spot opens on a white background with the message "we shield you from" appearing on the screen. Suddenly a head appears at the end of the phrase and begins speaking to the camera. One spot features a woman talking about how uncomfortable she feels when she has to change doctors because of her health coverage. The campaign features online, television and billboard advertising.
