Our brief
PushDoctor offers a revolutionary new diagnosis concept – an on-demand video GP service providing instant access to 9,000 doctors.
PushDoctor had clear objectives:
- Generate coverage to prove the case for Series A investment
- Create demand for online GP video consultations and secure PushDoctor’s category leadership position via coverage
- Develop understanding and trust for the brand via a high volume media presence
- Prompt sales
- Secure high quality links to the PushDoctor site using digital outreach and engagement
- To prevent any negative coverage of private health services during a time when the NHS is under stress
The campaign
What we needed was a piece of powerful, press-worthy and business-building research. Irrefutable research.
We also needed it to be properly represented and so made sure that PushDoctor spokespeople were extensively media trained, expertly able to move conversations with media away from any negative subjects, such as the privatisation of the NHS and the controversy of video diagnosis.
A launch strategy targeting exclusives with the Mail on Sunday health supplement, The Sunday Express, and the Next Web to name a few was successfully implemented. Product placement and reviews followed.
Our Technology team developed a special script of code that burnt through countless IP addresses to interrogate the Google advertising planning tools and retrieve a vast amount of search data on 160 leading health issues. This was coupled with a consumer survey of 1,000 UK adults.
