Shaping change communicatively

Constantly changing economic as well as political circumstances with strict structural guidelines have set massive change processes in motion in the healthcare sector. It is not only the hospital landscape that is changing immensely. Health insurance funds and other health service providers also have to prove themselves in the tough competition among themselves and meet increasing needs. As the managing director of a company in the healthcare sector, this creates completely new communication challenges for you. That’s where we come in. Whether it is a change project, a repositioning or broad support in public relations work – we advise you on how to convince all relevant target groups of your chosen path forward.

Crisis communication 24/7

Engel & Zimmermann’s consultants have outstanding expertise in crisis communication. In many public and non-public crises in recent years, Engel & Zimmermann teams have planned and organised communication towards all relevant target groups. Clients can rely on a reliable network that ensures 24/7 support – if desired, also with legal assistance.

Strategic consulting from a single source

As an experienced PR agency for health communication, Engel & Zimmermann successfully supports companies before, during and after change management processes. However, the communication strategies of the experienced team also include all aspects of ongoing press and public relations work designed to enhance the image. Our healthcare team accompanies and initiates interviews, organises press events and supports marketing with flyers, brochures and internet texts. We support – if available – the press offices and, if requested, take over clearly defined projects on our own, such as employee communication. At the same time, we know what patients expect from a healthcare provider today. Our savvy PR consultants ensure profitable patient communication.

Attracting patients and employees digitally

Healthcare is becoming more digital and at the same time the demands on all players are increasing. In this environment, it is all the more important to regard patients as customers – and to prepare one’s own digital services in an appealing and service-oriented way. The best way to attract new employees is also online. Our digital experts design social media concepts, take over community management and help you reach your target groups.
