Managing Director, Healthcare, CMG Health Marketing
Opportunity
CMG Health Marketing, formerly Cox Health Marketing, embarked on an initiative to build business and better support its existing clients. The company carved out a specialized division that offered enhanced healthcare marketing strategy and resources. A key piece of this initiative was to develop content that would position the company as a leader in the industry while providing helpful resources for the healthcare organizations it works with.
Solution
The organization knew they needed to speak to healthcare marketers, administrators, executives and small practice physicians in a unique way. They wanted to frequently deliver valuable content that would earn them trust in the marketplace and help healthcare professionals feel more prepared to tackle the challenges of today’s healthcare marketing journey. They turned to WG Content for content support.
Results
After two years of partnering with WG Content, CMG has seen increased engagement with their blog, which is now the website’s top source of traffic. The team has also been able to create more business opportunities thanks to the robust pool of thought leadership content. CMG had more than 1,000 downloads of a white paper WG Content helped develop and is able to repurpose content for use on LinkedIn.

Combining healthcare and B2B expertise
CMG Health Marketing, formerly known as Cox Health Marketing, is an Atlanta-based media and digital solutions provider backed by the Cox Media Group. They embarked on an initiative in 2017 to build its business and better support its existing clients. The company carved out a specialized division — Cox Health Marketing — that offered enhanced healthcare marketing strategy and support. A key piece of this initiative was to develop content that would position the company as a leader in the industry while providing helpful resources for the healthcare organizations it works with every day.
Cox Health Marketing knew they needed to speak to healthcare marketers, administrators, executives and small practice physicians in a unique way. They wanted to frequently deliver valuable content that would earn them trust in the marketplace and help healthcare professionals feel more prepared to tackle healthcare marketing challenges.
Writers producing the thought leadership content not only needed B2B marketing expertise. They also needed to understand the language of healthcare and the pain points facing the industry today.
“The main goal of the project was to develop ongoing thought leadership content that we could push out on social media and we could also share with our sales team,” says Luisa Banks, Cox Health Marketing managing director, healthcare. “I wanted to make sure I was using a group of writers I felt confident would understand healthcare.”
But with only three people on her team and 20 markets to serve across the country, Banks knew she needed to tap an outside resource. She needed a group that would “serve as an extension of the team” and work seamlessly alongside her colleagues.
“I wanted to make sure I was using a group of writers I felt confident would understand healthcare.”

Delivering content that meets goals
Having some experience working with WG Content in a previous job, Banks knew she could rely on the WG Content team to provide effective content that would speak to her healthcare audience and ultimately lead to business growth.
“The WG Content team understands our goals,” Banks says.
Banks works with WG Content on at least three articles a month, which are posted to the Marketing Insights blog. Banks typically brainstorms a list of topics that she sends to WG Content and the writers draft content based on sources provided by Banks’ team.
“The process has been seamless,” Banks says, adding that the drafts usually require few edits and the writers typically hit the mark on the first round.
The process has allowed Banks to be more efficient with her budget dollars because she doesn’t have to spend time and money going back and forth on rounds of edits. Thanks to that efficiency, she was able to use some of her budget to also tap the WG Content team for help with a white paper on the latest trends in urgent care.
“The process has been seamless.”

Securing more business opportunities
After two years of partnering with WG Content, CMG has seen increased engagement with their blog, which is now the website’s top source of traffic. Banks’ sales team has also been able to create more business opportunities thanks to the robust pool of thought leadership content.
“We’ve had sellers successfully get appointments and build new business because they have this thought leadership content to share,” Banks says.
In addition to the increased business, CMG has had more than 1,000 downloads of the white paper WG Content helped develop. From another angle, Banks says she’s also been able to leverage the thought leadership content to build her personal brand and grow her own following on LinkedIn.
“WG Content has been fantastic to work with,” Banks says. “Wherever I am in my career, I know I can always count on WG Content to help out with healthcare content.”
