In the urgent care industry, brand awareness is more than just good business — people who need help have to know where to find it.

WellNow Urgent Care was expanding aggressively across the Northeast and Upper Midwest and needing to drive awareness, visibility, and patient traffic. They brought Adcetera’s media planning expertise and integrated creative capabilities on board to introduce the brand in new markets and strengthen performance at existing locations.

Opportunity

With new locations coming online, and acquisitions such as the Physicians Immediate Care system further expanding their footprint, WellNow needed a media plan that would build patient volume at new and existing clinics while driving WellNow brand awareness and customer preference.

Their objectives were to:
Increase appointment volume
Improve brand awareness
Monitor results at the location level
Continuously optimize performance

approach

Out-of-home advertisements for Physicians Immediate Care and WellNow Urgent Care in various settings: a stairwell, a billboard, a subway wall, and on the side of a building.

With locations in multiple states, in large cities and small towns, and in the suburbs between them, there was no single strategy that would deliver the necessary results.

Our media plans included:

Search Engine Marketing (SEM)

A hyper-focused campaign strategy, segmented by service and incorporating location-specific copy into each advertisement.

Out-of-Home
(OOH)

Location-specific OOH ads were added in markets needing additional brand awareness.

Radio

Local influencers and curated voice talent introduced and promoted service lines in appropriate markets.

Nextdoor

Local communities received regular, informative reminders of when to use an urgent care center, keeping the brand and the services front-of-mind.

Television

Adcetera’s media strategy included television spots to maximize reach in areas with steep competition and large TAMs.

WHY ADCETERA

Nimble teams produce the best results. Empowered by location-specific metrics, clear communication, and confident direction enabled through daily status calls, the media team was able to continuously refine the campaign to improve its performance. Operating on a custom-created dashboard comprising media performance, daily visit and appointment volumes, and ICD codes (indicating services performed), Adcetera made daily shifts to optimize determinative visit volume.
