CASE STUDY
How Beaufort Memorial's Campaign Put Cancer Care in the Spotlight

Beaufort Memorial sought a collaborative partner to develop a plan and execute an omni-channel strategy aimed at enhancing the visibility and reputation of their cancer program, which is supported by affiliation with Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Health.

THE CHALLENGE

Beaufort Memorial's Goal Was to Highlight Local Cancer Care Excellence

Beaufort Memorial provides high-quality cancer care to the Lowcountry region of South Carolina, but faces the challenge of being overshadowed by larger healthcare markets to the north and south. Additionally, the community is comprised in significant part by retirees who have the option to return to their original homes in states like New York or Ohio for cancer treatment, causing the local offerings to be frequently overlooked.

Paid Digital Advertising

We implemented a robust paid digital advertising strategy that spanned both search and social media platforms. This approach was tailored to not only encourage potential patients to schedule cancer screenings but also to elevate the overall Beaufort Memorial brand within the digital landscape.

Local TV and Radio Buys

Recognizing the importance of traditional media, we secured targeted local TV and radio slots. These carefully chosen time slots allowed us to effectively reach our demographic, disseminate our message, and resonate with the community on familiar platforms.

Streaming Audio Promotion

Tapping into the growing market of streaming audio, we created promotions that were deployed across popular platforms. This ensured that we engaged with audiences who prefer digital streaming for their audio content, keeping Beaufort Memorial top-of-mind during their daily listening routines.

Traditional Out-Of-Home

To augment our digital efforts and ensure a comprehensive reach, traditional out-of-home advertising played a vital role. Billboards, transit ads, and posters were placed in key locations, providing broad-based exposure and reinforcing the Beaufort Memorial brand presence in the physical world.

The omni-channel strategy delivered a consistent and compelling message to the community, driving engagement and supporting the hospital's goal of leading in cancer care services.

Together, these coordinated efforts across paid digital, local broadcast, streaming audio, display, and OOH advertising channels created a synergistic campaign that successfully amplified the reach and efficacy of Beaufort Memorial's marketing initiatives.
