Acquire New Patients. Increase Referrals.
Communicate Your Expertise.

The Patient Path to Care Has Changed. Has Your Healthcare Marketing Changed with It?

The patient healthcare journey has changed.  Patients prepare for their wellness journey in advance – researching their ailments, reading online reviews and seeking referrals, not from their primary care doctor, but from their social media circles.  Patients walk into their healthcare providers more informed and with higher expectations for their care.

As healthcare providers, your marketing must adjust to this new patient path to care.  That means using data to better understand your patient’s needs – both before, during and after your care.  It means showcasing your expertise and providing that upfront information around conditions and treatments.  It means being involved in the research and conversations taking place before patients even book an appointment.

The Goal

With 19 established offices in their primary market and three new offices in an expansion market, our client needed to create top of mind awareness, brand recognition and increase patient volume in the new locations.  The secondary goal was to increase specific service line appointments in these three offices.

The Strategy

Awareness tactics were utilized to improve brand recall and engagement.  Targeted display advertising and re-messaging with the optimal frequency offered the potential patients the opportunity to learn about this specialist while providing the instant credibility and lift in mid-funnel metrics from being on a premium publisher site.  A paid social strategy using our first party data reached the best potential patients, drove engagement and provided warm leads for the offices.

The Challenge

Foster brand awareness for acquisitions and new hospital location and solve for the constant recruitment needs in a market with high demand.

The Goal

This hospital system had built a new facility, acquired a smaller health system location and numerous private practice offices.  The expansion in geography put them in direct competition with the other largest health system in the market. Brand awareness, community involvement and an impactful recruitment strategy were their goals to help acquire new patients.

The Strategy

PAMG created exclusive sponsorships built around an extensive suite of solutions and tactics in print and digital, editorial content and experiential marketing which offered unique opportunities to engage with the community at events and, overall, consistently being in front of the right audience at the right time.

To address the challenging recruitment needs an additional recruitment strategy was constructed using our virtual job fairs, display, dynamic video, OTT, specialty publications including a We-print insert and sponsor content to increase awareness, employer brand and educate potential candidates on why they should choose to work for this healthcare system.

A proprietary treatment option created the opportunity to expand their current market service area, increase appointment count, and test the market’s interest in in-person seminars again to educate on the technology.

The Strategy

The cornerstone of a search and display campaign created awareness in their expanded geography while driving a higher CTR on their search campaign.  Creative was A/B tested to determine what resonated most with their best potential patients. PAMG used our data to target on Facebook in a social campaign which drove engagement and seminar registrants and was deemed successful with 12 registrants based on the ROI of a client.  Video production and distribution was essential in telling the story visually and allowed potential patients to see the doctor and laser procedure.

The Result

Drive store and online traffic for a dispensary in a new market experiencing aggressive category growth.

The Goal

This dispensary was new to the PA market and in 2020 three new chains had already opened with multiple locations establishing strong brand recognition and a loyal buyer base. Creating awareness, driving website and store traffic along with appealing to their audience in a different format were their goals.

The Strategy

PAMG’s strategy started with the goal of breaking through the noise, aligning this brand with our highly reputable content and audience and to appeal to their best potential customer in a fresh approach. The solution mix used Section Takeovers and contextually targeted display to offer relevant, high impact visibility and association.  The social component, as an awareness tactic, encouraged engagement, interaction and sharing.  Sponsorship of a PennLive Podcast (almost 500,000 downloads to date), offered host mentions and three :30 commercials. We refreshed the spots monthly to tell the story of the brand and their offerings.

The Result
  • CTR was triple the standard performance benchmark
  • Search traffic increased 650%
  • Podcast downloads increased by 325%

What Our Customers Are Saying

  • When we first started working with the PA Media Group five years ago, our business was thriving.  The challenge we faced was to find new ways to continue that growth, and PA Media Group has been instrumental in that process and outcome. They actively research and analyze data to offer innovative and impactful marketing solutions, and on more than one occasion I was surprised by their novel ideas. I greatly value their opinion, insight, and the education I’ve received as a marketer, and it is rewarding to work with a group that consistently is willing to go above and beyond to ensure our success. They are the definition of a true partner!

    Patrick Brennan Brennan Chiropractic | Synergy Health Group
  • In a highly regulated industry, it is imperative to find a partner that understands the constraints but can identify the opportunities for creating a cohesive marketing plan.  PA Media Group understood our restrictions from the beginning and knew the route to success.  Visibility is another key in a business relationship for me. A lot of vendors make promises and then it is crickets.  PA Media Group makes the promise, and it ends on delivery with their deep reporting, insights, and consistent communication. As a multi-state company new to Pennsylvania, PA Media Group’s market expertise gave us access to the local market with a local approach driving the right leads in the right communities, and ultimately, ROI.  It is always great to talk about a partnership when you have so many great things to say!

Recruitment Strategies to Reach Traditional Students

There’s Nothing Traditional about Our Strategy

Highly competitive with a long decision cycle, traditional 4-year institutions should focus on effective branding as well as student and parent engagement. Laying a foundation for effective and inspirational storytelling will allow prospective students to not only be comfortable with a college choice, but also begin to envision a successful future at that college.

Targeting Teens & Their Influencers

Our marketing approach for these schools starts with foundational and targeted messaging to teens, parents and teachers followed up by more specifically targeted content designed to appeal specifically to students' questions and interests around prospective college choices.

Channel Mix is Essential

Blending online display, geo-fencing, social media, content marketing and video advertising allow for a holistic and effective approach to bringing future students to your campus.

Recruitment Strategies to Reach Community College Students

Connecting the Right Audience with the Right Opportunities

For the right student, community colleges offer the best of both worlds – a flexible, affordable 2-year degree path coupled with a true college experience. Tell this story to those students looking for alternative college options – proving they can find a higher education path that works for them.

Segmented Campaigns Deliver Better Results

Community college students have a broad spectrum of interests and reasons that they choose the community college path. Provide custom content and communication to speak to and aid in their specific decision-making process.

Targeted Campaigns Hit the Bullseye Every Time

Narrow and specific targeting creates campaign efficiency and allows smaller budgets to still be impactful at driving new students. Specific targeting of high schools or demographics well suited for technical programs, paired with compelling social and video content, will help future students see the value and options a community college has to offer.

Recruitment Strategies to Reach Private School Candidates

Tell Your Story

Private schools create a vibe that is all their own. Showcase what makes your school unique. From video of your one-of-a-kind campus and facilities to content and photos that accurately represent your student body, the right mix of media can highlight your school’s unique aspects.

Prove Your Value

Cost is often the barrier to a private education. Speak to parents and guardians about the value of a private education and the success of your alumni. Be transparent about financing options through plentiful on-site content, webinars and FAQs to remove cost from the equation.

Tap Into Social Word of Mouth

School social networks are strong. A community of like-minded parents and neighbors is often your most valuable resource. Connect your current parent groups and alumni with perspective families throughout the enrollment process. They are your best advocates and brand ambassadors.

Recruitment Strategies to Reach Technical & Career Education Students

Showcase the Path Forward

Students exploring unconventional higher education options may feel anxious about taking the road less traveled. Showcase what a technical degree looks like, what classes lead to a degree, and the knowledge they will receive to ease their concerns and drive their decision forward.

Share Graduate Success Stories

Highlight what a post degree world looks like. What type of jobs come from select degrees, what is the pay, what is the day-to-day job like? Feature stories from alumni to help bring this narrative to life.

Targeted Digital Tactics Maximize Budget and Return

Rather than blanket your market with expensive traditional media marketing, digital tactics allow you to distill your audience down to those most likely interested in technical degrees. Laser focus your geo-targeting to high schools ripe with candidate, highlight interests and hobbies of potential students that align with your current student interests. These small targeting tweaks can yield big results while being kind to your budget.

Recruitment Strategies to Reach Adult Learners

Make It Easy to Explore Your School

Adult learners are juggling work, home life and more. Adding continuing education research on top of their stack shouldn’t be a burden. Make it easy to view campus with video tours, to easy to advisors with video chats or webinars, to determine courses and costs with relevant content. Remove the barriers to start your relationship with adult learners on the best foot.

Show Them They Can Make It Happen

Time and money are top concerns among adult learners. Create content to show them both are possible. Create content that clearly lays out classes needed for certain degrees and the time needed to complete. Host financing continuing ed webinars featuring expert panelists. Provide clear, easy to access information on employer contributions to make the decision an easy one.

Recruitment Strategies to Reach Your Alumni Base

Analyze Your Data

Alumni Offices have access to a treasure trove of alumni data. Laying within those Excel files are the keys to increasing alumni engagement and donations. Analyze your alumni records to uncover key information including rich locations, demographics and interests to target with your outreach.

Segment Your Audience

As you analyze your data, patterns will appear. Alumni will fall into groups based on interests, engagement and geography. Segment out key audiences – like basketball fans in NYC – and craft custom events (alumni night with the Nets), engagement opportunities (March Madness themed donation challenge) and communication.

Move Them to Engage and Donate

Storytelling through video, profiles and testimonials bring alumni back to campus. Video allows alumni to reminisce over their college years and marvel at the advancements on campus since graduation. Storytelling brings them back, grounds them and emphasizes the importance of their Alma Mater on who they are today.

Manufacturing Recruitment Strategy

Worker shortages in manufacturing industry is real. Highly skilled positions remain open as a significant portion of the manufacturing workforce is nearing retirement age. For manufacturers, building and maintaining a robust and skilled talent pool is key for both short-term and long-term hiring success.

Recruitment Marketing as a Relationship Builder, Not Just Candidate Sourcing

Don’t wait to be present until a position is open – consistently position your brand in front of both passive and active job seekers. Consistent branding creates a talent pool who is familiar with your company, benefits, culture and therefore more likely to consider you when looking to make a career change. Top of the funnel marketing tactics such as video and display make your brand presence known.

Build A Connection By Understanding Your Best Potential Candidates 

Develop personas, marketing strategies and campaigns specific to your common open positions. Different positions attract different types of candidates. Understanding the nuances allows you to more directly content with job seekers, to communicate your company story and to welcome them into your culture with a personalized approach. Seek out a recruitment marketing partner with a deep data bench, capable of developing audience segments, media placements and creative to speak directly to specific candidate audiences.

Enhance Your Job Board Presence with Display & Video

Placements on job boards are effective in reaching those actively seeking a position. However, other traditional marketing methods like targeted display and video allow companies to share their full story. More visual formats let prospective candidates see your benefits and experience your culture. Both elements that can cause them to choose you as their next employer – over your competition.

Warehouse Recruitment Strategy

Warehouses are experiencing unprecedented growth thanks to a shift towards online shopping. As growth continues and timely shipping remains critical, warehouses face a continual shortage of workers.

Tout the Benefits That Make You Stand Out

Warehousing jobs are not historically known for good benefits and upward mobility. With changing demand and increased competition, more warehouse companies are adding long-term benefits and job training to their offerings. As an employer, tout benefits like 401Ks, employer matching and paid training as part of new hire packages. Talk about your openings more as long-term careers vs. short- term or holiday employment for additional appeal.
