Southwest Women’s Oncology

Before

Challenge

Southwest Women’s Oncology came to us as Southwest Gynecologic Oncology, a practice that another physician previously owned. Dr. Karen Finkelstien was the new lead Medical Director and practice owner. While she had always been one of the premier GYN/ONC physicians on staff, she was not readily known by the public.

As part of the Brand Renovation, it was critical to raise awareness of the new Medical Director’s expertise and elevate her personal brand through brand messaging and all touchpoints.

Their website had no engaging brand messaging, it was built on outdated technology, was not mobile responsive, and the design, imagery, and layout did reflect the expertise of the practice by any means.

For the practice, our goal was to create a brand story that better reflected its values, connect with referring providers in a new way, and share Dr. Finkelstein’s passion for being a champion of women with gynecologic health challenges. Southwest Women’s Oncology’s Brand DNA is all about raising the standard of healthcare for women, and their current brand had outdated stock imagery and web design and did not have any brand messaging in place.

After

Strategy

After a deep dive into Discovery, our team developed a strong Brand Foundation that clearly articulates all of the brand story components (Brand Positioning, Core Values, their Why/Purpose, Brand Promise) as well as a complete visual branding make-over.

Our brand renovation included renaming the practice for two reasons. First, no one likes to say the word gynecology, and second, as a way to weave in their positioning into the name. We deliberately put WOMEN in the center of their company name and then played off of that with the brand launch message that “Women are in the center of all we do”.

The beautifully designed logo reflected an essence of a woman in an artistic fashion, and we chose the color palette based on the feelings that each color invokes.

Through the brand messaging, our goal was to display their extensive expertise and kindness in a way that would make them the first choice for referring doctors and patients seeking treatment for gynecologic cancer.

After the practice’s brand launch, which included a newly designed website and multiple print ad campaigns, our focus was to elevate the physician’s personal brand. With repeated advertisements, articles, and editorials focused on sharing Dr. Finkelstein’s expertise as a master surgeon and champion for women dealing with complex gynecologic health issues, we achieved the awareness ROI we wanted for the practice and the physician.

Our next focus was building a stronger community and honoring the courage of the women patients. We created and produced an annual event — Warriors for Warriors. This community event unites airmen from the 58th Special Operations Wing and patients of Southwest Women’s Oncology, Warriors for Warriors is a celebration of courage.
