We are a communications planning agency – focused on a return on engagement and return on marketing investment.
Our expertise encompasses a variety of areas, including healthcare professional communications, direct to consumer campaigns, digital media, direct mail fulfilment, email & SMS marketing, healthcare and optical media buying and planning, crisis communications and event management. A results-driven communications firm, we attribute our success to the knowledge of our business and the relationships with both our suppliers and clients.
Communication Strategy
Email or postal mailing? Website or leaflet? Personalised point of sale material or mass produced? We work with you to understand the best comms route, explain our recommendation based on experience and report on how successful it has been
Data Provision / list broking
You can have the best strategy, the most innovative creative and enticing offer but if it doesn’t reach the right audience it could be all for… well, nothing. We work with data bureaus dedicated to keeping and maintaining the best quality lists. We are continually researching where the most accurate data is available, advise on the best selections, and report back on how it has performed.
Creative
Creativity is not just about making beautiful pieces – it is about relative stand-out material that prompts the right reaction and response. Here at Verve London we have excellent creativity in-house and ready to produce dramatic (but relevant) campaigns.
Digital Marketing
It could be an iPad app, a website or a QR Code campaign. Like everything we do here it has be relevant to the brief and justifiably successful – not just new! Communication channels these days can be extremely varied with digital campaigns integrating with traditional techniques. We work with your brief to understand the best route of communication based on our experience and understanding.
Training & Education
Learning programmes are a reaching communication technique – especially in healthcare. Verve have experience of managing educational seminars and distance learning packages for pharmacists, pharmacy staff, GPs, dentists, opticians and also consumers. These programmes can be managed from start to finish; strategy, writing, creative, delivery and reporting – whether paper based, face to face or digitally delivered.
Telemarketing
Telemarketing can be used at various stages of a communication programme; either standalone or as part of an integrated campaign. Here at Verve we don’t have in-house telemarketers but do offer a strategic management service including broking and management of a telemarketing team, assimilating reports and script creation.
Media Buying
We are not a dedicated media buying agency but have experience, specifically in healthcare and optical trade media, if it sits as part of a campaign. Similarly we can work with your media buying agency as part of an integrated campaign.
Patient Adherence
Compliance, adherence, loyalty, observance? Whatever the current phrase is currently used we can create, deliver and manage any type of patient compliance programme. Ranging from strategic appliance to web or paper response handling to delivering automated text messages.
Mail Fulfilment
One of the most expensive areas in a communications project is fulfilment. We work with a variety of fulfilment houses to ensure a project is delivered the most efficient and timely way. We work with these houses to ensure that postal rates are the lowest they can be.
Response Handling
Postal or electronic – handling, collating and reporting on responses to our campaigns are the backbone of Verve’s services. Advising on what these results mean and what can be done with the data collected is all part of our strategic offering.
