TASKS
Bastian wrote the entire fold-out brochure used to explain Medicare benefits to patients using them. The challenge was to write informative copy at a 6th-grade reading level. To complete that task, Bastian used reading-level analysis software to ensure the proper level was achieved. Thousands of copies of the brochure were printed and distributed in the bi-state community by Swope, and became a highly popular, effective communications tool for the institution.
Bastian did this work as a “hired gun” for Jane Mobley Associates, one of the largest PR firms in the region. Swope was its client.
