From Awareness to Acquisition to Advocacy
Consumer EngagementHix Group equips healthcare and life science brands to ignite and sustain meaningful conversations with consumers to increase the lifetime value of the organization to the consumer.
Ultimately, when we consider the full cost of consumer acquisition for both prescription and direct-to-consumer products, we are motivated to:
Reduce the cost of consumer acquisition
Hix Group has developed and operationalized the technology-enabled patient journey for many leading pharmaceutical and medical device brands, including brands managed by Fortune 50 organizations servicing the pharmaceutical industry. These journeys have included using technology, including mobile technology, to appropriately activate, engage, incentivize, and retain consumers. This experience includes developing mobile-enabled patient acquisition and retention deployments to support retail and specialty pharmacy.
For the cost-sensitive consumer, Hix Group is equipped to develop and support deployments using mobile technology to deliver co-payment incentives and patient assistance coupons directly to the consumer’s device.
Ask Hix Group to help you deploy consumer engagement technology to improve the operational process dedicated to reimbursement workflow, including prior authorization processing and status reporting, fulfillment acknowledgement, and payments.

Consumer Engagement
Digital Health Platform
Hix Group was asked to evaluate the company’s technology, processes, and competencies dedicated to acquiring, engaging, and retaining consumers. Comprehensive user journeys for three distinct, high-potential user personas were developed to ensure alignment between technology, messaging, and interactive engagement prompts to ensure the conversation with the consumer was elevated at the awareness, activation, adherence, and affinity (or loyalty) phases of the journey. Efforts were also directed to creating partnerships and the associations with high-potential, web-based communities for targeted conditions to drive consumer acquisition.
Efforts also led to Hix Group recommending and creating a distinct brand (under the master brand) to communicate the value proposition to enterprise targets in the pharmaceutical, specialty pharmacy, provider, and payor verticals.
Consumer Engagement
Integrated Delivery Network
Executive leadership at an Integrated Delivery Network sought Hix Group to evaluate the network’s potential to engage health plan members in rural areas using telemedicine.
The effort required researching the mobile technology penetration for rural zip codes and the capabilities of the mobile infrastructure in the zip codes relative to the platform requirements of competing telemedicine providers.
The marketing plan developed to support the launch of the telemedicine product incorporated mobile-enabled, multi-channel communication to increase awareness and drive activity to the telemedicine product.
