We know what you're up against

Your budget is constantly being outweighed by new rockstar doctors, MRI machines and new clinical locations.
Your marketing priorities are constantly being challenged and unforeseen outbreaks like Covid-19 are not helping.
Even if you do get budget, it never feels like enough to make the impact you want to make

You can't get more budget without making meaningful impact.

But how can you make meaningful impact without more budget?

The key to getting out of this pertpetual loop is proving marketing’s ability to drive revenue.

Propane has changed the course of brands and healthcare marketing by helping marketing teams drive revenue

How did we do that?

By leveraging digital to create impact

Our Motto:
“ If you're not making an impact, you're not unlocking budget ”

As marketers digital is the best lever you have to drive revenue, prove impact and unlock budget.

Healthcare marketers know this, but time and again we see organizations fail when confronted with the unique challenges of going digital
Culture Challenges
Its hard for my leadership to financially support great digital experiences
Our company is not aligned or incentivized to produce digital experiences
The pathways for getting leadership investment in digital are not defined
Strategy Challenges
Our company does not have a roadmap of what it needs for the next 3 years
Identifying where to start and what to invest in is a complex series of compromises
Our business priorities outweight our customer or consumer priorities
Resourcing Challenges
Internal teams do not have the right skills or resources to build high-quality experiences
Staffing digitally-able talent is competitive and expensive
In-house IT teams are already busy maintaining legacy systems and do not have capacity
Process Challenges
Digital initiatives are a paradigm shift and often require large scope and planning
When working with multiple outside vendors, information silos create mis-alignment
Making digital impact requires a new way of working together that legacy work processes can't support

Making impact through digital requires expertise

This is why it’s challenging to do this alone and also why you are having a hard time evolving to a “Digital first” health care brand.
I need to protect my team and resources I have
— Fear of failure
We’re going to spend more time in meetings talking about what we want to do instead of doing it
— Frustration
If I don’t show great impact, I could lose my job
— Anxiety
We’re always going to be fighting an uphill marketing battle for budget - can’t see through the forest
— Stagnation

Unlocking budget and making impact doesn’t have to be so hard.

It just takes doing the right things, in the right way, with the right proof, so that you can make the case for more budget to do it again.
