“Brands live in the minds of the
consumer and take on life
through their conversation.
Thus, your brand is whatever
your stakeholders believe and
say about your hospital – how
they perceive and value your
organization.“

for Hospitals

THE RESULTS
•Phoenix Children’s Hospital dominated in all measures of brand endorsement, including performance on medical center choice factors, recommendation and consideration rates, and specialty care.
•PCH received its highest marks on its reputation for being able to handle the most complex cases as well as incorporating the latest advances in medicine.

as incorporating the latest advances in medicine.
•Perhaps it’s no surprise that the target market feels that PCH outperforms competitors in treating a number of specific health conditions and cases.
•PCH also demonstrated an ability to project softer characteristics such as being caring, friendly, and considerate.
“For this campaign we enhanced our
banner in Q4 to focus on video and the
CTR doubled to four times the standard
for health care marketing campaigns
nationally.”
MARKETING “WITH” RATHER THAN MARKETING “TO”
“The healthcare marketer’s
role is already transitioning
from a corporate storyteller—
who at one time almost
exclusively pushed service line
information out to consumers—
to a facilitator who creates
spaces where conversations
take place between constituents

take place between constituents
of shared interest.”
