Trusted by the community and providing the best health care for everyone in the Illinois area. ## The Campaign Partnership | Brand Ambassador  | Brand Awareness  As part of their [Full-Service plan](https://blog.opensponsorship.com/why-brands-love-opensponsorships-full-service-plan), Midwest Express Clinic has a dedicated Account Manager to take their goals and turn them into campaigns with athletes. MEC is a healthcare company located in the midwest that has been trusted by families for over a decade. They approached us to help them build a long-term partnership with a professional athlete with a large presence in their region. Since they rely on local traffic to their locations, it was very important to make sure the athlete helped them increase brand awareness, engage the community and create brand loyalty.  ## The Athlete [Kris Bryant](https://opensponsorship.com/profiles/kris-bryant?hsLang=en) Midwest Express Clinic and our team worked together to find the perfect fit for their long-lasting campaign. Ultimately, we decided on Kris Byrant, a long-time Chicago Cubs star and well-known baseball figure worldwide. Kris has about 1 million followers on Instagram, most of whom are Cubs fans in the midwest area. He is a very well-spoken man trusted and loved by the community. Since Kris joined, the Clinic has seen a spike in brand loyalty and great feedback from having him as their spokesperson.  ![IG numbers midwest express case\_3](https://opensponsorship.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IG%20numbers%20midwest%20express%20case_3.png?width=500&height=150&name=IG%20numbers%20midwest%20express%20case_3.png "IG numbers midwest express case_3") ![midwest express case\_2](https://opensponsorship.com/hs-fs/hubfs/midwest%20express%20case_2.jpeg?width=3200&height=2134&name=midwest%20express%20case_2.jpeg "midwest express case_2") ![midwest express case\_4-1](https://opensponsorship.com/hs-fs/hubfs/midwest%20express%20case_4-1.png?width=450&height=450&name=midwest%20express%20case_4-1.png "midwest express case_4-1") Followers' location ![midwest express case\_4](https://opensponsorship.com/hs-fs/hubfs/alchemy%20bikes%20case%20study_12%20(1)-Jan-05-2023-08-23-23-7027-PM.png?width=400&height=400&name=alchemy%20bikes%20case%20study_12%20(1)-Jan-05-2023-08-23-23-7027-PM.png "midwest express case_4") Followers' Interests ## The Content In Person Events | Podcasts | Social Posts  The content that was a part of this campaign was more than just a social media post or two.
