Agency 102 Success Story

Helping a Healthcare Startup Navigate a Pandemic Pivot with Long-Term Marketing Support

See how our partnership with 20/20 Onsite evolved from a collaboration between a healthcare startup and Founder, Hannah, who started this journey as a digital marketing consultant.

Key Takeaways

  • When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in March 2020 and offices shut down, 20/20 Onsite had to pivot their business strategy because they weren’t able to serve patients on-site at their offices anymore. This shift in operations uncovered another aspect of the healthcare industry where access to eye exams required critical support: clinical research.
  • 20/20 Onsite hired founder Hannah Mizelle in November 2020 as a digital marketing consultant. Since then, the relationship has grown, and Agency 102 acts as an “in-house” marketing team for the life science division of the company, working closely with Jessica Mays, Vice President of Life Sciences.
  • In a partnership that has lasted almost 3 years, Agency 102 is proud to support the growing life sciences business through a fully integrated healthcare marketing partnership.
