Branding, advertising and promotions

Mary Free Bed Ask for Mary Campaign.

For more than a decade, ECP has positioned Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital as a unique healthcare destination, while promoting various services and their dedication to care. Through a mix of multimedia tactics, we have personified the Mary Free Bed experience for consumers and successfully kept the rehabilitation hospital top of mind in West Michigan markets and beyond. From the very first campaign, people continue to “Ask For Mary” for their rehabilitation needs.

Results

Since 2011, the not-for-profit hospital system has seen a 774% increase in patients served, 145% growth in employees, 109% increase in patient beds, and a steady expansion of services statewide through acquisitions and joint ventures. Our marketing efforts have also moved the hospital from unranked to the top 10 in the US News & World Report “Top Rehabilitation Hospitals,” and in 2020 Mary Free Bed was recognized as one of the “10 Best Physical Rehabilitation Centers” by Newsweek.
