CASE STUDY: DOUBLE-DIGIT INCREASE IN SERVICE LINES

A 255 BED COMMUNITY HOSPITAL WITH A MALTI-CLINIC SYSTEM IN MISSOURI

Please note; because we are disclosing specific issues and numbers which apply to a client, we do not feel it proper for us to publicly reveal their identity without their written permission.

- THE CHALLENGE -

The client is a community hospital located near a large metro area and much larger competing hospitals. Their largest competitor was gaining market share through an aggressive advertising/marketing campaign and opening clinics within the client’s PSA.

Other than the standard HIDI and typical healthcare reports, the client hospital had very little data regarding brand awareness and perceptions, as well as specific patient feedback. Advertising was placed on typical healthcare media channels applying the same predictable and generic brand approach commonly used by many hospitals.

- OUR SOLUTION -

As we always do, we first focused on acquiring better data to base direction and decisions upon. Working with the client’s marketing department, we conducted specific research and developed a patient feedback and listening processes.

Using what we learned from the data and research, we then developed strategic marketing plans with measurable initiatives that more effectively supported the hospital’s goals and key objectives. We helped to define the overall brand of the organization, as well as the brand of each service line to improve relevance and appeal to targeted audiences. We conducted analysis on all traditional and digital media options and created a more effective and cost-efficient approach.

- THE RESULTS -

IMPROVED MEDIA EFFICIENCY

(With the existing budget)

Reallocated media buy to channels that best aligned with strategic objectives
