Lenz Takes on the Windy City alongside Preferred Podiatry Group

Lenz had the honor of partnering with Preferred Podiatry Group (PPG) to organize their 2019 PPG Healthcare Summit, assisting the practice with event planning, communications, and execution. The 2019 Summit took place June 21-22, 2019 in Chicago, Illinois and hosted more than 100 affiliated physicians and industry leaders from across the country.

The Summit included exciting Chicago-themed activities, such as an architecture boat cruise down the Chicago River and a Cubs game at Wrigley Field–in addition to educational lectures and panels given by PPG leaders and affiliated physicians. Outstanding members of PPG were also honored throughout the Summit weekend.

Tampa Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery Gets a Rebrand

Lenz developed a new logo and visual identity for Tampa Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, balancing the practice brand with the personal brand of its lead physician, Dr. Joseph Brown.

Georgia Urology’s Website Redesign and Video Creation 

As the stewards of Georgia Urology’s brand, Lenz endeavored to refresh some of the practice’s key assets, including their WSB-TV commercial, recruitment tools. 

With the generous help of many Georgia Urology physicians, we updated their television spot–featuring their incredible team, adding a really personal touch from the providers:

Then, after hundreds of hours of work, the team updated the Georgia Urology website: the practice’s digital front door. Along with a newer, cleaner look, the site implemented user-friendly navigation. The optimized design and structure yielded results: increasing online appointment requests by 23% in its first few months live. 

Georgia Urology is the largest urology practice in the southeast, and they’re always growing and looking for new, talented providers. To aid in their pursuit of dedicated team members, the Lenz team–with CFF Media–created a powerful recruiting tool to inspire the next generation of Georgia Urology team members. 

Atlanta Science Festival Spreads a Love for Science

For four years, Lenz has worked with the phenomenal Atlanta Science Festival (ASF) team. This annual two-week Festival celebrates local science and technology every March, featuring more than 100 events throughout metro Atlanta and reaching 50,000 children and adults annually. Lenz helps ASF with a wide variety of marketing services, including social media, digital content development, website and graphic design, public relations, and advertising. We continued this integrated partnership in 2019, producing updated visuals and strategies for ASF’s owned, earned, and paid media efforts.

Social Media

We developed and currently manage the brand’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts.

Elevating a Practice Brand through Video

What steps does it take to showcase a brand through video? Lenz knows how, and we were thrilled to create such a video for SouthCoast Health, a healthcare organizations with over 120 healthcare professionals encompassing more than 20 specialties and services.

To start, Lenz developed a script and storyboard for the video before procuring the vendor for the video. We also served as the intermediary between the client and the production team for the film schedule, production, set, and talent needs. Following, we helped to oversee the rounds of edits and feedback on the rough cuts of the footage drafted.

What do you get when you mix incredible live entertainment, a whimsical artist market featuring 100 regional artisans, a Kidz Zone loaded with fun, the popular “Pet World,” a Classic Car Show, a delicious food court and a Peachtree Road Race qualifier to kick the whole thing off – all set in a beautiful park? The Brookhaven Cherry Blossom Festival, which ushers in the springtime on March 30 and 31 from 10 am to 6 pm Blackburn Park, a true landmark of the hopping City of Brookhaven – just 15 minutes north of downtown Atlanta!

SEO Analysis and Consultation for Wrench Group

The Wrench Group, LLC is a national leader in home maintenance, repair and replacement services specializing in heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, and electrical services. In 2019, they approached Lenz and asked for our expert team to study some of their biggest affiliated companies’ blog traffic in order to implement a successful SEO strategy that would allow their website content to flourish. As SEO enthusiasts, Lenz was excited to tackle the task, and help Wrench Group optimize its online presence. 

Organizing and Orchestrating an EyeSouth Partners Retreat

Lenz spent six months planning and producing a three-day continuing education retreat for EyeSouth Partners affiliated doctors and their families. Held at the luxurious Boca Raton Resort from January 11-13, 2019, the weekend consisted of educational lectures, group beach activities, and bountiful amounts of food and fun.

Lenz Extends Marketing and Social Media Reach for Cumberland Caverns Live

Cumberland Caverns Live, a recent addition to the Southeast music scene, tapped Lenz to develop its marketing and social media brand, following its inaugural season in 2018. Artists like the Allman Betts Band, John Stuckley Trio, Deer Tick, and Devotchka have played memorable shows 333 feet below ground. Those performances were inside the visually striking and sonically rich World Famous Volcano Room at Cumberland Caverns in McMinnville, Tennessee. 

To help raise CCL’s visibility and grow its audience for 2019, Lenz deployed an efficient marketing strategy including content creation, paid social, and targeted radio, digital, and print advertising. Lenz created new visual assets leveraging CCL’s striking performance imagery and band photography. Our team upgraded CCL’s social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, with consistent content cadence and high quality visual imagery. We also forged advertising partnerships with music and specialty publications in nearby markets like Nashville and Chattanooga such as Lightning 100 and Nashville Scene. 

2019’s season was Cumberland Caverns Live’s best yet. While the live entertainment industry regroups from COVID-19 this year, we are working to make 2021 even better for our client.

Doubling Campaign Numbers with Emory 

2019 marked the third year of our successful integrated marketing campaign for Emory Law’s Juris Master degree. The campaign leveraged traditional media (radio, print, PR), with targeted digital tools such as Google Ads, remarketing, and Facebook with customized messaging according to geography and concentration. 

And in 2019, our partners within the law school charged Lenz with taking the campaign to the next level: they asked us to generate 50% more inquiries from prospective students compared to the previous year. To do this, Lenz amplified its digital strategy and took the campaign national: targeting geographies like Washington D.C., Austin, TX, Orlando, FL, Raleigh-Durham, NC, Virginia, and beyond. Coupled with strategic print, radio, and streaming campaigns, the campaign delivered: by the end, it had yielded almost 60% more inquiries than the previous year–more than 500 conversions in fewer than twenty weeks. 

Plus, the campaign got a face-lift, embracing all new images and graphics, now unique to the degree.
