As we celebrate our six-month anniversary, I can honestly say that we have Collectively made far more of a Difference than we could have ever imagined. Six months makes all The Difference!
The desire to #WorkDifferently has clearly resonated far and wide with over 60 enquiries to join The Collective and more than 40 senior healthcare consultant members now fully on board, with their depth and breadth of experience spanning internal communications, corporate communications, media relations, social media, creative direction, design, copywriting, brand communications and medical communications to name a few.
Clients too are seeing the benefits of a Different, more agile, project-led approach. We’ve received over 75 client enquiries from healthcare companies and agencies alike, resulting in 15 clients working with us to complete their projects Differently in 2017.
And we’ve been lucky enough to develop a number of special partnerships that support and embellish our Different approach. A big thank you to NowGoCreate, DayForNight and Doodlette to name a few.
However, the biggest Difference for me comes when you ask our Collective what being a member has meant to them. We set out to create a virtual, supportive and collaborative non-agency. And when we ask our members what they get from being part of the Collective they tell us they are so inspired by the breadth and depth of talent to learn from; by the quality of thinking and high standards of work when unnecessary layers of administration are cut out; by working Collectively with bespoke teams because they want to not because they are obliged to; by the way in which each and every brief is treated with the speciality it deserves.
Most of all they say they are motivated by the talent and rejuvenated by the refreshing approach that allows them to #WorkDifferently.
It’s been an exceptional six months where we have had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing people, clients, partners and members alike, who inspire us to make The Difference each and every day. We cannot wait to see what Difference the next six months might bring.
One thing is for sure – the world of Healthcare Communications is changing and we predict that a #WorkDifferently culture is here to stay.
All that remains to be said is thank you all wholeheartedly for your support and interest. We hope you have a fantastic Christmas and look forward to all making a Difference in the New Year!
