The greatest creators make powerful connections.
The ultimate goal of any marketer is to convince a target audience to choose their brand, but there are many cognitive obstacles, such as resistance to persuasion and “reactance” to being told what to do that can end up having the opposite effect.
Preventing resistance to persuasion is both an art and a science. When people have a high need for cognitive closure, they will invariably resist persuasive efforts and remain loyal to their current brand. You need to achieve high levels of both divergence and relevance for your brand messages to reduce a target audience’s need for cognitive closure.
At Core-Create and Brandkarma, we have the proven ability not only to develop medical communications that are highly divergent, but also to make emotional connections with healthcare professionals—and the patients they care for—in ways that are relevant, meaningful, and valuable. This makes target audiences more curious, less defensive, and more open to taking an action or making a change in behavior.
And that’s the true measure of a great creation.
Engaging with clients more collaboratively makes the greatest creations happen.
Part of The Core Nation — which also includes the medical communications company Alpha & Omega — Core-Create and Brandkarma have more than two decades of experience engaging clients to help them and their brands leverage every opportunity and overcome any challenge.
We are right there with you every step of the way, in nearly every possible situation, from sitting behind the glass at market research to standing in front of senior management in the boardroom. As a passionate champion of your brand, we will go to any length to help you achieve your business goals. If you want a smart, strategic, and superbly creative team that will care for your brand as if it were their own, call us at 732-748-0661 or visit www.thecorenation.com.

If you are reading this supplement, there’s no doubt that you’re interested in reviewing ad agencies.
Here’s our advice. Take a good hard look at the work first. If it doesn’t appeal to you, move on. Nothing can tell you more about an agency than the creative work it has produced for itself and for clients. You can learn all about an agency’s capabilities later. You can bet that if the work is great, solid strategy and science made it that way. It’s like the old Smokey Robinson tune, “First I Look at the Purse”—always look at the work first. You’ll get a visceral and emotional reaction from the end product. If the reaction is positive, proceed to learn more.
If you are reading this particular profile, you’ve been stopped by the visual images on the right.
These are just a few of the bold brand images and campaigns created for our clients. Take a good look, then go visit our site and check out the work. There is nothing we can tell you here that will replace that first impression. So, visit dudnyk.com and view the range of work produced for major pharma clients, medical device companies, and biopharma/biotech companies. Like what you see? Contact Christopher Tobias, PhD, at 267. 532. 1026 or ctobias@dudnyk.com for a deeper dive.
Dudnyk is a multichannel branding agency that specializes in communicating to physician specialties: Allergy/Immunology, Cardiology, Dentistry, Epileptology, Hematology, Nephrology, Neurology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Pain, Psychiatry, and more. Winning over these tough audiences takes a special blend of compelling science mixed with bold, differentiating creative. Dudnyk has been achieving such success since 1993.

2011 gives echo reason to celebrate, starting with their 10-year anniversary! As they commemorate this special year, they acknowledge their phenomenal success. After unprecedented growth in 2009, echo experienced another year of record-breaking results in 2010. What adds to their impressive growth year-over-year? The majority of their new business growth was built from long-standing partnerships with current and past clients. Bill McEllen, president of echo, believes that “producing exceptional work for our clients and nurturing the talent that exists at all levels of our agency lead to this enduring effect on our business.” Over 85% of their new business wins in 2010 were a direct result of the great work echo produces for their clients every day. The reputable work they produce for all of their clients throughout the industry led to great new opportunities for echo this year.
With a thriving business, it’s no surprise that echo’s creative work is second to none, and they’re gaining highly regarded recognition for their outstanding work. Creativity may define echo, but at their core is the development of interactive and engaging solutions, including everything from Web site development to digital sales tools, iPad and mobile applications, as well as video. Their digital work is integrated into every agency-of-record assignment echo holds. All of their digital solutions are created with the sup- port of their Account, Strategic, Scientific, and Creative departments, making their interactive offerings not only engaging but, more importantly, smart.
Our industry is evolving, and as it does, so too will echo. Changes in the way healthcare is delivered will necessitate changes in how healthcare communications are received. echo is already ahead of the curve with their Strategic Planning and Scientific Integration Departments, who closely partner with their clients to uncover relevant insights, build solid marketing strategies, and find the nuances to help give brands a richer voice. While their Account teams continue to work with clients even earlier in the process to deliver dynamic communication platforms. echo has highly evolved digital capabilities and continues to expand into new technology that engages professional healthcare audiences in dynamic ways.

Physician-Response Data
LehmanMillet is the only healthcare marketing communications agency dedicated to serving companies seeking to change the standard of care. Agency clients range from start-ups to Fortune 100, and span the clinical spectrum across medical diagnostics, devices, biotechnology and specialty pharmaceuticals. Our core expertise is the development of communications to help drive the adoption of innovation.
Simply put, we change minds to change behavior.
In more than three decades of standard change, we’ve learned the traditional four Ps of marketing (product, placement, pricing & promotion) aren’t sufficient to scale the barriers within the risk-averse medical community. We’ve developed our own complementary set:
Protect - limit exposure to widen opportunity.
Even the strongest innovations are fragile at birth. Ensuring that early patient and physician selection is optimized to protect the therapy builds the foundation for broader success.
Promise - sharpen your vision through the eyes of your users.
Products are initially developed by scientists and engineers; messaging needs to be developed via customers. A deeply informed understanding of market desires and perceptions is critical to achieving a positioning that will affect meaningful change.
Proselytize - find leaders who will follow.
It’s not enough to enlist the key KOLs. Overturning long- held opinions and age-old practices takes extreme influence, artfully applied pressure. Those willing to champion change may come from unexpected avenues.
Propel - focus and fire. Once you’ve protected your therapy, defined your promise, lined up your proselytizers and gotten your approval, you’re primed to launch. And it’s here that singular focus and commitment of resources is absolutely critical.
LehmanMillet isn’t focused on changing the standard of care because it’s glamorous. Or easy. Or obvious. But it is extraordinarily fulfilling. If you or your company is looking for the standard agency relationship and the same old ideas, we won’t be a good choice. But if you’re looking to affect fundamental change, if you’re interested in rewriting the rules in an open and collaborative relationship with an agency unlike any other, perhaps we should have a conversation.
