Audience Analysis
At By McCormack Services, we know what resonates with healthcare decision-makers. We build on this knowledge by conducting qualitative research that makes it possible to build robust target audience profiles.
Branding
An appealing visual presence is just the start. We take a deep dive into your messaging and positioning to ensure that your brand rings true with internal leaders and staff; industry experts; and, most importantly, prospective customers.
Competitor Analysis
What are your competitors really up to? We analyze your competitors’ products, services and marketing campaigns – to let you know exactly what you are up against. From there, we work with you to create the messaging that empowers you to stand out from the crowd.
Communications Audit
Healthcare IT companies, life sciences organizations and providers frequently put their marketing communications programs together on an ad hoc basis. We analyze what you have in your communications inventory and tell you exactly what you need to ensure that your marketing messages reach all key decision-makers.
Marketing Communications Strategy
Ads. Articles. Brochures. Case studies. Direct mail. E-books. Infographics. Press releases. Product sheets. Web sites. Webinars. Oh my. No wonder it’s so hard to figure out where to start. No worries, though, as we can leverage our knowledge of the healthcare industry and our communications experience to come up with the optimal strategic communications plan for your organization.
Messaging Development/Refinement
Sure, catchy phrases are fun – and effective. But we work with you to do much more. Indeed, we help you develop the messages that truly resonate with your target audiences – and help you succeed.
Social Media Planning
Social media is making a significant impact on the healthcare industry. We understand how each platform can help get your messages heard – and develop the strategic plan that can optimize your efforts.
Writing Lessons
We’ve got years of wiring experience here at By McCormack Services. While we are glad to develop your content, we can also provide tutorials and guidance that help your staff members learn how to create effective content as well.
Content Creation
Articles
Healthcare companies frequently need to publish well-written articles for trade magazines, in-house publications or newsletters. Armed with years of journalistic experience as well as a thorough knowledge of the issues that affect healthcare IT, life sciences and healthcare provider organizations, we have the ability to gather, analyze and present information in a concise and compelling fashion. We also can subtly weave your company’s marketing messages into any article.
Blogs
There’s no better place to display your knowledge – and a bit of your personality – than in a blog. We can work with your thought leaders to create copy that not only entertains but educates as well.
Brochures / Product Sale Sheets
Perspective customers need to know exactly what your products or services can do for them. With our writers at the helm, we can create the content that makes it easy to grasp what you are offering – and why it is the best choice for key healthcare decision-makers.
Case Studies
There’s nothing more powerful than a customer testimonial. With our writing expertise, we can turn a positive customer experience into a compelling story that truly resonates with key decision-makers.
Custom Magazines
Healthcare IT is a complicated industry. As such, people often have a lot to say. A custom magazine provides you with a venue to tell your story from different angles – while also lifting your status as an industry thought leader and promoting your key brand messages.
Press Releases
Press releases are used to get your company’s latest news in front of reporters and editors. Although straightforward on the surface, there’s a real art to successful press release writing. We know how to give journalists what they want (short, simple informational releases) while at the same time integrating important marketing messages into the copy.

Social Media Posts
Sure, it’s great to post on Linked-In, Twitter, Facebook or other platforms. We go one step further by developing a cohesive story that engages readers or each of these platforms, while emphasizing your key brand messages.
Sponsored Pieces
Sponsored articles are becoming more and more common in the healthcare press. Purchasing the space to run these articles is just the beginning. We work with you to compelling, journalistically sound copy that is sure to engage readers and prompt them to buy into your brand.
Web Sites
Reel them in – and keep them there. That’s our goal with web copy. We start by telling the stories that truly engage readers. Then, we drill down and explain all of the details in a compelling, easy to digest fashion.
Webinars
Want to (literally) have your voice heard? We can help you develop the content and script for an effective online program. As such, you can personally show off your expertise on a particular topic as key decision-makers participate via the web.
Whitepapers
Typically, whitepapers are multi-page documents that present a company’s or an executive’s thoughts on critical industry issues. With our healthcare IT and life sciences industry knowledge, research skills and advanced storytelling capabilities, we can develop whitepapers that truly position your company and executives as leading authorities in the healthcare industry.
Media Relations
Media Audit
So many media outlets, so little direction, so many spinning wheels. Through in-depth media research and one-to-one interviews with editors, we’ll come up with an analysis of the target publications that really matter to your organization along with a list of relevant media opportunities.
Media Monitoring and Outreach
We stay in touch – so you don’t have to. We continually monitor the media and insert your story into trending topics to garner the attention your healthcare organization needs. Because we routinely work with the healthcare press, we know what plays – and how to play it.
Pitch Letter Development
Reporters and editors are busy people. We know exactly how to develop pitch letters that get their attention – and ultimately result in media placements.
Media Training
Tongue tied? No worries. We can provide you with the training that will give you the confidence to talk to the media – and effectively get your company’s key marketing messages across in the process.
Thought Leader Positioning & Promotion
Sure, your organization has plenty of smart subject matter experts. But do you know how to position and leverage all of this intelligence? That’s where By McCormack Services come in. We can identify exactly how to position your SMEs to get the most – and the best – media attention.
