Introducing the Rebranding of Community Healthcare System
Overview
Phase I
After completing the internal launch of Powers Health, it was time to communicate the rebrand to patients and consumers. As our teams considered the best strategy, one thing was clear – the rebrand could not be perceived as the result of a buyout or merger:
- Ensuring audiences understand that this was a strategic decision made by leadership, to unify the system under a single brand – aligning with their new strategic plan.
- Maintaining the equity earned by Community Healthcare System (CHS) over their 20+ years as a system – one that ranked highest in hospital and service line perception among consumers.
- Positioning Powers Health as a “higher source of visionary healthcare.”
To accomplish the above we recommended launching the consumer engagement campaign in two phases. Phase I focused on creating awareness that CHS is now named Powers Health – a strategic decision, not a buyout, and maintains the same high level of clinical expertise and caring. Phase I creative included the following:
Social Ad
Outdoor Billboard
Radio
Phase II
As we shifted to Phase II – allowing us to position Powers Health in the minds of area consumers – we remained conscious that not all consumers follow health system transitions, so some messaging from Phase I was retained.
Phase II featured leadership in priority service lines to communicate their higher source of visionary healthcare position to the marketplace:
Social Ad
Outdoors Service Lines
Display Ad
The initial data, analytics, and anecdotal feedback have been very positive about the rebranding and repositioning of Powers Health. If your organization is contemplating a strategic shift in its brand, please contact Mike Chapman at mike@springboardbrand.com to discuss how Springboard can help.
