THE CHALLENGE & SOLUTION

Scaling patient leads for a sensitive healthcare product while maintaining quality and cost efficiency required overcoming four key challenges:

Scale Without Inflating CPL

Increase patient leads at scale without driving up Cost Per Lead in a highly competitive healthcare advertising environment.

Rising Competition & Seasonal Pressure

Maintain performance despite intensifying competition and seasonal CPM pressure that threatened campaign efficiency during peak periods.

Reach High-Intent Patients

Identify and reach patients actively searching for treatment options while preserving lead quality and avoiding low-intent traffic.

Balancing the Full Funnel

Balance awareness, education, and conversion in a sensitive healthcare category where patient trust and journey complexity demand nuanced messaging.

STRATEGY & EXECUTION

We developed a three-pillar strategy to drive patient lead growth while continuously improving cost efficiency across Q2 and Q4:

Creative Optimization That Drove Efficiency

Introduced high-performing patient-centric video creatives focused on quality of life and treatment outcomes. Iteratively refined messaging based on audience response. Identified and scaled 'legacy' video creatives that consistently outperformed benchmarks.

Smarter Audience Targeting

Focused on high-intent male audiences 55+ while maintaining reach among younger decision influencers. Implemented lookalike audiences based on confirmed form submissions. Leveraged physician locator engagement as a strong mid-funnel retargeting signal.

Funnel & Campaign Structure Improvements

Prioritized physician locator-driven traffic to reduce patient journey friction. Consolidated campaigns using Advantage+ budgeting. Reduced inefficiencies from fragmented budgets and under-learning ad sets.
