In this episode, Miranda Ochsner, Director of Paid Media at Hedy & Hopp, joins Jenny to discuss how to determine the optimal media mix for your organization. At H&H, we frequently work with clients across a wide range of budgets—from under $10,000 to over $1,000,000. Our recommendations for media channels vary depending on several factors, and Miranda breaks down the key considerations and decision-making processes involved.
Key Topics Discussed:
● Budget Considerations: Budget size directly influences the choice of media channels. Smaller budgets may limit traditional media opportunities, while larger budgets allow for a more comprehensive digital and traditional mix. We also consider whether the focus is on brand awareness or deeper funnel goals, like consumer acquisition.
● Traditional vs. Digital Media: Traditional media options, such as billboards or TV, can be costly and vary based on market and timing. We evaluate whether these channels are suitable based on the client's goals and market conditions.
● Hybrid Channels: Options such as Connected TV and digital radio can offer a blend of traditional and digital media, providing flexibility and precise targeting while staying HIPAA compliant.
● Audience Targeting: We rely on data and research to ensure we reach the right audience, challenging assumptions about where and who they are. This approach is especially important when clients assume that traditional media is the only option for reaching rural audiences.

In this episode, we dive into the digital patient journey, focusing on mapping success. Over the past few weeks, we've had numerous conversations with systems and providers across the country who are looking to rebuild their websites and make their digital front door easier to access. Many face budget or approval constraints, so we're here to bridge that gap by focusing on interim action items such as content and technology adjustments.
Sometimes, it’s necessary to redo your website entirely. However, if a full redesign isn’t feasible right now, here are some steps to improve the patient journey in the meantime:
Activity:
● Outline Key Service Lines:
1. In your office, write down your primary service lines that you are looking to drive patient volume.
2. Take your cell phone, get in your car, and try to find and book an appointment for a specific service line. Identify where it was difficult.
Key Discussion Points:
● Optimize for Micro-Moments: Be there when patients need you most. Use symptom-specific or other search-friendly terms to go beyond just service-line messaging.
● Simplify the Path: Remove friction from online scheduling and information gathering. How many clicks does it take to schedule an appointment?
● Expand Beyond Your Website: What other platforms appear in your search? Explore third-party directories and ensure your presence there.
● Mobile-First Thinking: Ensure seamless experiences across all devices. For example, implement click-to-call functionality and other development solutions to simplify user interactions.
● Competitor Deep Dive: Analyze the digital patient journeys of your competitors. Review their strategies for each service line. Make a list of improvements needed for each of your organization’s service lines.
While a new website might be the best move eventually, these steps can help enhance the patient journey and improve your digital front door experience even without a complete overhaul.

In today’s episode, Jenny welcomes iHealthSpot Director of Practice Marketing, Bill Riley, to share some very exciting news that will advance the offerings of our agency—Hedy & Hopp has acquired iHealthSpot. iHealthSpot is a healthcare marketing agency that specializes in helping local providers establish and grow their marketing footprint to increase brand awareness and drive patient engagement. At Hedy & Hopp, we work with more regional providers and payors, so this acquisition gives us the capabilities, processes, and technologies to serve smaller groups, expanding our impact to improve how patients find and access care through smarter marketing campaigns.
During the episode, Jenny and Bill discuss:
3 Ways an Agency Grows - This includes new business sales, organic growth and client retention, and what we are covering today—agency acquisition.
Working with Large Clients vs. Small - We often see the size of a client’s organization play a role in the audience type, their competitors, and the education opportunities pertaining to different marketing levers.
Our Transition Strategy - Over the next couple of months we will be determining how to combine the H&H and iHealthSpot teams and make the transition seamless and simple for our clients.
The Acquisition - When choosing the right company for an acquisition, a few key factors are looked at such as industry vertical, segment of clients, and synergy between services and the team members.

Yes! It's crucial to communicate your organization’s differentiators. Be sure to create a content strategy around it with a clear call to action.
