Rob,
I have one more page for you that you can work on on Monday. Below is the case study and an ePush, I'll send you a couple more ePushes that I'll need
you to layout in the page.
Headline:
Niche Targeting and Segmentation
situation:
HIMSS offers products and services such as HIMSS09 symposia to niche audiences in the healthcare IT sector including payers, physicians, nurses,
pharmacist, etc. Each product offering and marketing message to these audiences must be highly targeted and effective.
solution:
Developed marketing programs and key message platform for each audience which communicated the value proposition of each product/service.
results:
The pre-conference symposia programs surpassed revenue goals by XX and attendee goals by XX. These were the highest symposia ever attended in the
history of HIMSS annual conference and exhibition.

ZebraTechnologies
strategicpublicrelationsmessagedevelopment
situationZebra Technologies (NASDAQ: ZBRA), a global technology
company, was launching a new product line of radio frequency
identification (RFID) offerings in several verticals. The company was
in need of a strategic public relations and analyst campaign. The campaign
needed to position Zebra as the RFID technology leader in industries such as
healthcare, retail, consumer packaged goods, government, and law enforcement.
solutionSpearheaded the development of an in-depth message platform for all Zebra’s RFID product
offerings in target verticals and then created a highly effective, strategic public relations and
analyst campaign.
resultsThe campaign became an award winning program – it was awarded the Business Marketing
Association’s (BMA) Tower Award two years in a row due to the following successful results:
• Obtained 222 media interviews with reporters and generated 634 media articles within
12 months for Zebra’s radio frequency identification (RFID) products in target media. This
substantially raised the company’s stock price and positioned Zebra as a major RFID player
across several verticals.
• Generated 40 new business leads with leading healthcare organizations worldwide for
Zebra’s channel partners, which increased sales by 30%.
• Positioned Zebra to financial and business analysts, which resulted in product analysts
briefings with leading firms such as IDC Research, Gartner, Aberdeen Group, Forrester
Research, AMR Research and The Yankee Group. This helped to expand the company’s
global sales pipelines and provided a more aggressive competitive advantage.
