Kims Hospital

introduction

A number of specialties offered at KIMS Hospital are unique to independent hospitals in Kent including nuclear medicine and interventional cardiology.

The organisation’s number one objective is to provide safe, outstanding quality care for patients.

Being a relatively new hospital, KIMS Hospital’s challenge was to increase brand awareness in Kent, East Sussex and South East London, and highlight the USPs in order to attract more patients.

Another difficulty we discovered on beginning work with KIMS Hospital, is the bespoke website created by a previous agency, which has limited opportunities for further development. This means that other digital avenues to reach people are all the more important and need to be maximised.

Collaborative working

Fox&Bear was appointed due to our extensive healthcare experience and passion for the sector, our results in supporting similar objectives for other clients, our creative data-driven approach, and our robust planning process.

The key to the success of this activity is working in partnership. Planning is a collaborative process, and campaign execution is divided according to who can best deliver the work in the time / budget available. We focus on areas where we’ll add the most value and digital experience, whilst other tasks are better undertaken by KIMS Hospital marketing team.

Flexibility is vital to the relationship as we also support in areas that are not necessarily ‘in scope’, making our agile working process ideal. Using our hours-based, agile model we are able to move the team’s time to where it’s needed most as the needs of KIMS Hospital change.
