Description

Healthcare marketers are under constant pressure to deliver immediate patient volume. But when performance campaigns take center stage at the expense of brand marketing, the long-term health of the organization suffers. In this episode of Ignite, Lauren Leone sits down with Cardinal’s Katie Gray, Senior Account Director, to explore how performance and brand can work together—not against each other. They identify common mistakes healthcare organizations make when overemphasizing performance and outline strategies to build trust, drive volume, and support sustainable growth.

Whether you’re a CMO balancing pressure from the board or a marketer trying to prove ROI, this conversation will help you rethink how brand marketing fuels performance over time.
