Groundbreaking Campaign For Medifast Achieves Highest Honor

“Become Yourself,” a multi-platform campaign developed by Solve for weight loss client Medifast was honored with a Gold at last evening’s North American Effie Awards Gala in New York. The campaign features real Medifast clients filmed as they begin the program and again nine months later.
