Assignment

 

Develop a strategy that will help guide hospital surgeons and procurement through the marketing cycle, from awareness to purchase and post-purchase support of the new EleVision™ II Laparoscopic Imaging System developed by Medtronic.

Approach

 

Leveraging qualitative research, I created personas and their respective user journeys that lead to the development of effective content strategies and communication planning.

Primary Goal

Become known as a trusted leader in visualization products for laparoscopic procedures

User Research

 

21 hospital administrators took part in 55-minute web-assisted telephone interviews across the US and Europe in April 2021.

  • Respondent role in buying process

  • Satisfaction with current visualization equipment

  • Most recent visualization purchase experience

  • Detailed discussion of buying process for visualization equipment

  • Introduction to the EleVision™ II portfolio

  • Review of key messages for the EleVision™ II portfolio

Personas

 

Personas were developed to highlight key behaviors and insights for primary users within a hospital environment.

Journey Mapping

 

Once personas were established, user journeys were created across decision & purchasing phases specifically looking at motivators and barriers, customer insights, decision drivers and engagement strategies to best target.
