Vaccines.

Sustaining Positive News for a New Vaccine.

GCI Health was responsible for launching a vaccine in an environment of safety concerns due to a market withdrawal of a competitive vaccine. In support of four milestones in 10 weeks, we created unique news angles to keep interest high, strong safety messaging, and prepared spokespeople to deliver consistent and colorful messages. The milestone news generated more than 144 million impressions, including multiple articles in USA Today, The New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Ninety-two percent of coverage was considered extremely or somewhat favorable.
Other Case Studies

Medical Technology.

Mobilizing Stakeholders to Drive ICD Reimbursement Sudden cardiac arrhythmia (SCA) is the #1 killer in the U.S.

Yet implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) were under-utilized and perceived negatively due to cost. Early signals indicated CMS may not reimburse ICDs despite strong clinical evidence. To influence the CMS decision, GCI Health established the SCA Alliance - comprised of representatives from 18 patient and professional organizations - to demonstrate broad support for ICDs. The result was a decision by CMS to reimburse 85% of at-risk patients, and 95% of media coverage from the program focused on ICD value, not cost.
Other Case Studies

Oncology.

Building Support for a Targeted Cancer Therapy Across Indications.

GCI Health was responsible for generating global media coverage of data at ASCO showing that a targeted cancer therapy was the first to improve overall survival in liver cancer in 30 years. We also needed to publicize the therapy's role in kidney cancer and defend it from competitor attacks. Through solid media coverage of the data, we were able to promote the entire clinical development program across multiple tumor types. Outreach resulted in more than 1,000 placements and 250 million impressions. Worldwide sales increased by 25% post-ASCO with PR and medical education being the only brand activities deployed.
Other Case Studies

Beauty and Aesthetics.

Overcoming a Crowded Laser Treatment Marketplace to Increase Sales and Demand.

In the face of fierce competition and copy-cat claims, GCI Health was charged with establishing a cosmetic laser treatment as the gold standard for non-invasive skin rejuvenation. A national trade and consumer media campaign and a fully-integrated marketing campaign were launched, including a WOM initiative. The campaign generated more than 700 million impressions, including two TODAY segments, and consumer demand increased more than 20 percent. This impacted the closing of $3.5 million in sales at the annual American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) meeting.
