Path to success

Engaging with a niche audience

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic presented a challenging environment; search volumes for obesity/ bariatric surgery have decreased. Patients are not seeing their doctors attention was diverted to the pandemic. How to turn this scenario into an opportunity?

The path to success requires ways to engage with this niche audience in this very particular time, finding where they are active online, their interests and needs, and identifying the right channels and the best messaging to catch their attention.

Success requires audience multiple audiences, identification of cost-effective channels with optimised messaging, and to learn rapidly due to the circumstances.
