SHIELD BY GUARDANT - PATRICK DEMPSEY CAMPAIGN
About The Project
SUMMARY
Working alongside the teams of Guardant Health, Real Chemistry, and Shotclock, I served as Production Coordinator for the live action shoot portion of Shield Blood Test’s campaign with celebrity brand partner, Patrick Dempsey.
Shield Blood Test, from Guardant Health, is a blood test that screens for colon cancer. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, and more than 55,000 lives are expected to be lost to the disease in 2026. When colon cancer is found early, the survival rate can exceed 90%.
As part of the campaign, Actor Patrick Dempsey shares why colon cancer screening matters and how early detection can make a life-saving difference.
Shot in NYC over the course of 2 days, I oversaw shoot logistics from pre-production through wrap, as well as provided exceptional on-set client services for our brand and agency partners to ensure an efficient and positive set experience.
