Project Background
In today’s competitive environment, strategic healthcare marketing is no longer optional; it’s the foundation for sustainable growth. Healthcare brands face rising acquisition costs, complex compliance requirements, and rapidly changing search behaviour driven by AI-powered platforms.
Effective strategic planning and marketing in healthcare focuses on aligning digital efforts with business objectives while maintaining credibility, accuracy, & trust. For this pharmaceutical manufacturer (our client), the goal wasn’t just more traffic; it was efficiency, predictability, and measurable impact.
This case study highlights how strategic healthcare marketing helped a Chennai-based pharmaceutical brand significantly lower CAC while improving lead quality and long-term visibility.
Business Background
Industry: Healthcare
Location: Chennai
The client is a mid-sized pharmaceutical manufacturing company supplying specialized formulations to hospitals, distributors, and healthcare partners across South India. While the brand had a strong offline presence, its digital ecosystem was fragmented and cost-intensive.
Challanges
High CAC
The pharma client’s digital ad spending was rising without a proportional increase in lead growth.
Limited Organic Visibility
The pharma brand had minimal organic presence in competitive healthcare searches.
No AI-search Presence
The client’s brand did not appear in ChatGPT, Gemini, or Bing AI results.
Fragmented Strategy
There was no coherence in the marketing approach of the pharma company, leading to disjointed organic & paid campaigns.
Inefficient PPC Campaigns
Paid ads lacked optimization & intent alignment and were just run for the sake of it.
Weak Performance Tracking
There was hardly any performance tracking of the marketing campaign, leading to a disheartened & poorly updated marketing team.
