University Health Partners of Hawaii (UHP) is a large, Hawaii-based healthcare organization with deep ties to the University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). In October of 2018, UHP opened a new location in Hilo. This was a large step for the organization and they wanted to do everything possible to ensure a successful opening.
There were 3 main areas of focus for the marketing campaign:
The following is an example of an integrated campaign with consistent branding. Newspaper advertisements, press releases, invitations, program, name tags, slide presentation, signage and other marketing materials associated with the location opening and a private luncheon event (attended by the Hawaii County Mayor, dean of JABSOM and other notable community leaders) were carefully and consistently branded.
In addition to the traditional/print campaign, the effort was supported by a Google search campaign to introduce UHP to the online market. Later, this effort was reinforced with Google display ads, Google My Business (Google Maps/Local SEO) and a new website. Check it out at uhphawaii.org.
The result of the effort: In the 3 months following the successful and well-attended luncheon, the new doctor’s annual exam appointments were scheduled 1 month in advance, teen patients increased to more than 20 per day and a December report noted that the new doc had 21 new patients, more than double the largest UHP clinic on Oahu.
In short, the clinic hit the ground running!
As for the digital ads, they now account for more than 99% of uhphawaii.org traffic.
