Located in Trichy, a tier2 city, a place with well-established larger hospitals, the challenge was to make Velan Speciality Hospitals stand apart as a quality healthcare provider covering all major specialities, affordably.

Engagement
We conducted a branding workshop to understand what the brand stands for, the “why” behind, and about the founders philosophy etc. and renewed Velan’s brand positioning statements and tone and voice.
It is a 60-bed international standard centre of care with the ethos of a neighbourhood family doctor. Modular operation theatres and patient care infrastructure have been imported from Germany to bring the latest care to the heart of Tamil Nadu, Trichy.
Rebranded BeYou to reflect principles that the founder wanted the brand to embody: instilling confidence, nature and science backed, gender neutral, friendly and affordable.
The new logo relates well to the parent brand with the ‘Vel’ which also doubles up as a leaf (natural and sustainable solutions), a confident person (brand ethos), pink & purple (brand colours that the client wanted to embody trust, confidence, and simplicity).
Website revamp with about four lead generation forms, payment gateway integration and direct messaging ability (Chat).
Discussed and charted out specialities grouping, content for each speciality, and the positioning
Planned and executed a 3-day shoot for 2-minute videos covering 20 specialist doctors introducing the public to each of the specialities, what’s special at Velan, and tips for preventive care.
Blogs: Planned and ran a consistent blog publishing schedule, 2 blogs per month, on engaging topics and SEO relevance. They total to about 20 so far.
Setup groundwork for running WhatsApp campaigns, setup ad accounts for running Facebook campaigns
We identified 3 major audience target categories.

Began regular engagement campaigns in partnership with Radio Mirchi, Trichy, through a personified character called Dr. V who does myth busting and shares verified facts.
We created original content with an aim to cover all the specialities with at least one key stone content per campaign; spread awareness on preventive health, nutrition, wellness and fitness and on better, safer options available to the public such as advanced minimally invasive surgeries, endoscopy. We especially focus on the various national and international awareness days for health or to simply quell misinformation.
