Listening closely.

Patients are at the heart of healthcare marketing. Real people typically making difficult decisions. Whether they’re choosing an HMO or seeking cancer treatment, working hard to learn their true thoughts, feelings, and motivations is what drives more inspired work. Leading to solid results. Patient-centricity is central to our method, and it shows.

Do you have the right people doing the right jobs?

The Challenge

Make a small patient recruitment organization relevant to a very targeted group of about 5,000 people: gatekeepers who decide whether or not to outsource patient recruitment.

Branding

Branding is a deep, deep dive we’re tremendously adept at. We’ll conduct research, then create a brand position, name, tagline, and a logo that pulls it all together. Here are a standout few of the hundreds we’ve created over the years.

Aspen Dental

We refreshed this dental group’s identity to be more friendly and inviting. While we kept the overall concept intact, we softened the capped peak and switched the typography to upper and lower case, making it warmer and easier to read.

Independent Health

The new logo for this healthcare insurer was designed to reflect the strength of Independent Health’s people, unequalled customer service, and desire to help members build healthier lives.
