Privacy-Focused Patient Engagement

Nicklaus Children’s Hospital

Nicklaus Children's Hospital is a beloved, Miami-based pediatric hospital system, whose mission is "to inspire hope and promote lifelong health by providing the best care for every child. 

The Challenge

New regulations now mandate more transparent and secure handling of protected health information (PHI), requiring healthcare marketers to ensure strict compliance. This has compelled Nicklaus Children’s Hospital to recalibrate its digital marketing strategies to maintain reach and presence while adhering to these guidelines.

Heightened privacy regulations restrict granular data collection, making it harder to obtain detailed insights. However, the Rise team leveraged available data to optimize performance, utilizing Connex®, our proprietary media optimization platform, to make informed decisions. Despite these challenges, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital aimed to drive new patient appointment requests, monitor analytics diligently, and strengthen their brand voice as a compassionate hospital system.

The Approach

We refreshed our cross-channel campaign for Nicklaus Children’s Hospital to adapt to all compliance regulations, including:


Strategic Creative Refresh

Despite new regulations, we restructured our approach to ensure a complete customer journey. Our strategy included a creative refresh focused on in-platform remarketing. First, we updated static ads to include motion to bring users further down the funnel. Then, we created custom videos tailored to various service institutes, incorporating animation to enhance engagement.

These strategic updates expanded our audience lists and gathered additional digital signals for retargeting. Comprehensive campaign analyses identified video as the most effective creative type, which we extended across other ad formats, ensuring a cohesive and engaging customer journey from start to finish.
