Authentic Messaging

The only way to connect with and move patient and related stakeholder behavior is to communicate in a language and voice that is relevant to them. If the message is irrelevant, it is useless. If the message is in a language or voice that champions stakeholder understanding, it is invaluable.

 

Invest in AUTHENTICITY.

Accurate Targeting

Without an unlimited budget, accuracy is a cornerstone of strategy and marketing investment. Understanding the patient journey and accurately engaging the patient in the right channel and at the appropriate point in their journey is table stakes for modern-day marketers.

 

Invest in ACCURACY.

Perfect Timing

Often times, consumers don’t know what they need—this is especially true in healthcare. So, getting your message in front of consumers is a crucial priority—for them and for your brand. Meeting them when and where they need you is marketing magic.

 

Invest in PERFECTION.

"We were eager to leverage a more innovative approach to marketing and external affairs and I needed a solid and responsible partner. LIFT brings tremendous value—their use of anthropology and design thinking changed the way we approach patient and consumer engagement across our system."

Alex Sydnor, Fmr. Chief Strategy Officer, Beebe Healthcare

"The growing interest in patient voice and real-world evidence that comes from anthropology and human understanding is foundational to the work we do … not only in the drug development phase but also in the post-marketing safety spaces. LIFT offers an amazing set of tools and capabilities that truly illuminates the core of patient voice and experience."

Andres Gomez, VP and Head of Epidemiology, Bristol Myers Squibb

"LIFT’s ethnography driven approach to brand discovery and development has completely re-energized our organization. By becoming immersed in our culture and synthesizing our mission through the lens of design, we were able to co-create a new brand that champions not only who we are, but also the future we aspire to."

Kaleb Michaud, Co-Director, FORWARD—The National Databank for Rheumatic Diseases

“Working with LIFT has been a fantastic experience. Their design thinking workshops have brought together the many stakeholders we work with in an environment that has helped us to better understand everyone’s experience and together build important tools for enrolling patients in research studies.”

Emily von Scheven, MD, MAS, Chief, Division of Pediatric Rheumatology, UCSF

“Honing a long-term content strategy accountable to measurable results is the only way to ensure both that your voice stands out and that you’re getting the most out of your marketing investment. We chose LIFT to be our content partner because they consistently deliver, with strategically sound and elegantly designed content that resonates with our consumers and inspires action.”

Chris Efaw, VP of Outreach and Development, Tift Regional Medical Center

“LIFT’s human-centered approach really aligns with our mission and vision. The partnership that evolved from our shared world view made a significant impact on the way we tell our story.”

Eric M. Stone, Chief Executive Officer & Co-founder, Velano Vascular

“That voice of the customer was very on point and well illustrated the (urgent care service line) business model and what we needed to do to be successful and that service line. We used it to share voice of the customer with the leadership. It helped us to really make things resonate with the managers of (the service line).”

Marcia Diaz deVillegas, Director of Marketing and Public Relations, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital

“Marketing with a mission means first understanding the lived experiences of our diverse communities, and then incorporating that understanding into the marketing and patient education programs we invest in. LIFT has helped us take an empathy-first approach to marketing our brands to the communities we serve. Their fresh approach helps me invest our marketing dollars with purpose—for business, clinical, and social impact. We love them.”

Christina Deidesheimer, Chief Communications Officer, Beebe Healthcare
