A Leading Healthcare Group Transforms with On Demand Digital Teams

Challenge

Driving Digital Transformation

According to a 2021 survey of healthcare executives, 81% say the pace of digital transformation for their organization is accelerating. In response to evolving customer expectations, an international healthcare group needed to transform digitally, by creating new digital products and services to better engage customers and improve patient experiences.

The healthcare group was looking to engage top-performing marketing teams with domain expertise in healthcare, to work alongside their core teams as extended team members. Healthcare agencies were available, but the company did not have confidence in these agencies’ turnaround times and digital abilities. Staffing agencies did not fully understand the skillsets required and could not offer fast turnaround times. And hiring in-house not only was expensive but also could not offer the agility required for this initiative. This was when the company reached out to Hire Digital.

Solution

Setting Up On Demand Digital Teams

Hire Digital offered the speed and the expertise that the company was looking for their marketing teams. Post a consultative call, the following teams were curated for the healthcare company to drive their digital marketing programs:

Future Outlook

Creating A Centre of Excellence

The healthcare group is now working with Hire Digital to build more on-demand teams to create a centre of excellence with an in-house agency.
