From Healthcare Navigation to Integrated Care Delivery: Accolade’s Brand Evolution

Vault worked closely with Accolade to evolve its brand positioning from a healthcare navigation company to an integrated care delivery organization with a strong focus on health equity. To increase Accolade’s impact and share of voice, we implemented a comprehensive strategy that included:

  • Media Engagement: Vault positioned Accolade as a thought leader in solving the healthcare maze. Successes included a feature in The Wall Street Journal on the company’s innovation and a wildly successful proprietary research report launch on GLP-1s that generated coverage in Reuters, Forbes and Fierce Healthcare, among others.
  • Speaking Engagements: We facilitated speaking opportunities for Accolate executives, positioning their expertise before a wider audience at highly relevant industry events. We rolled up our sleeves to develop abstracts, talking points and other compelling presentation materials that further amplify the Accolade brand message.

Building Thought Leadership for a Fast-Growing Fintech Company: Best Egg’s Journey

During a period of rapid growth, BestEgg partnered with Vault to strategically elevate their executives as industry experts. Our team developed a strategy that included:

  • LinkedIn LIFT Program: We identified key executives for our Leadership Influence Fast Track (LIFT) program. This program audits LinkedIn profiles and transforms them with custom content and ongoing content recommendations that amplify executive voices within their professional networks. Since the program’s inception, we’ve increased executive LinkedIn following by over 10%.
  • Subject Matter Expert (SMEs) Pitches: Our team strategically pitched five Best Egg leaders as SMEs across a variety of B2B topics. This resulted in secured executive interviews with leading industry outlets, including Fintech One•On•One and Technical.ly.

Securing Consistent B2B Coverage for a Color Technology Leader: Datacolor’s Visibility Boost

To solidify Datacolor’s position as the preeminent leader in color management technology and establish its executives as trusted industry influencers, Vault spearheaded a multifaceted thought leadership campaign including:

Targeted Media Relations: We identified critical conversations within the color management space and strategically positioned a bench of Datacolor experts at the forefront of these discussions. Through targeted media pitches and thought leadership content development, we secured an average of 20 bylined articles annually in priority trade publications, significantly boosting brand visibility and establishing thought leadership.

Maximizing Media Wins with LinkedIn: We populated the LinkedIn accounts of Datacolor’s experts with custom articles and content recommendations tailored to their expertise and target audiences. This solidified their position as trusted industry influencers and ensured Datacolor’s messaging reached the right people.

Championing Patient and Provider Success: Hologic’s BSH Leadership

For years, Hologic’s Breast & Skeletal Health (BSH) team has partnered with Vault to solidify its market leadership in 3D mammography. We’ve employed a multifaceted approach that goes beyond traditional consumer and advocacy communications, incorporating strategic thought leadership initiatives to amplify Hologic’s expertise and advocacy for breast health:

  • Empowering Executive Voices: We transformed Hologic executives into thought leaders by enhancing their industry presence through earned media, digital content development and internal communications support. We partnered one-on-one with executives to develop compelling talking points and provide preparation for webinars, speaking engagements and media opportunities.
  • Elevating Brand Reputation Through Awards: We spearheaded the division’s industry award program to elevate the BSH business as a whole. Our efforts secured coveted accolades like the Edison Awards and MedTech Breakthrough Awards, reinforcing Hologic’s reputation for innovation and excellence.
