Reaching Healthcare Founders through Content and PR

The NHS Innovation Accelerator (NIA) was launching their recruitment campaign for their 2024 intake. They were looking for a full-service approach that spanned content, PR strategy, media, and design, with the ultimate goal to significantly increase applications and raise awareness among health and social care founders.

Reaching Healthcare Founders through Content and PR

Solution

Our first course of action was to set up a filming day with the NIA's team and Fellows. We orchestrated the questions and themes carefully, ensuring alignment with their overarching organisational goals.

This footage was then repurposed into web and digital assets, and other content forms, creating a robust offering for both inbound and outbound marketing efforts.

We also took charge of their social media profiles on LinkedIn and Twitter. By developing a well-rounded social media strategy, we were able to create compelling narratives that captured all facets of NIA, encouraging founders to engage and apply.

Acknowledging that their previous PR efforts had under delivered, we crafted a fresh PR strategy and targeted key publications that health tech founders frequent. We then started designing press releases that would capture attention in both EU and US markets.

Results

The campaign was a massive success, driving a 1,000% increase in post impressions and amassing over 35,000 views on paid videos.

Furthermore, our PR strategy was effective, resulting in nine published articles, significantly more than their previous campaigns.

Reflection

Our team's experience and agility were key contributors to this project’s success. We demonstrated our ability to quickly adapt to NIA’s unique needs, providing rapid turnaround times for asset changes.

However, we identified room for improvement in our planning stage, particularly in specifying the weekly themes and creating specific content on learning outcomes for founders.

This insight will shape our approach in future projects, ensuring even greater alignment and success.
