Background
Mental health disorders such as anxiety and insomnia continue to place a significant burden on patients and healthcare systems worldwide. To strengthen awareness of a leading therapeutic option in this space, a focused digital campaign was launched targeting psychiatrists across India.
The campaign aimed to communicate the medication’s key clinical benefits, including rapid symptom relief and sustained efficacy, while driving meaningful engagement through educational content delivered via trusted digital channels.
Conducted over a two-month period from July to August 2024, the initiative leveraged Hidoc’s healthcare ecosystem to maximize visibility and interaction among specialist audiences.
Objectives
The campaign was designed with the following goals:
- Increase awareness among psychiatrists regarding the therapeutic solution.
- Communicate important clinical benefits through scientifically driven messaging.
- Encourage continued engagement using CME-oriented educational creatives.
- Achieve and exceed predefined digital performance benchmarks.
- Strengthen brand recall among mental health specialists.
Campaign Approach
To maintain audience interest and deliver educational value, three CME-based GIF creatives were developed. Each creative focused on a distinct aspect of treatment, highlighting clinically relevant benefits and practical insights for healthcare professionals.
An integrated omnichannel strategy was implemented across multiple physician touchpoints:
- Mobile App Promotions
- Website Display Placements
- Targeted Email Campaigns
- WhatsApp Outreach
This coordinated approach ensured repeated exposure while allowing healthcare professionals to engage with the content through their preferred channels.
Additionally, campaign performance was monitored through state-wise analytics, enabling deeper insights into regional engagement trends and audience behavior.
