The Work

Two productions.
A content engine.

Two video productions generated a deep well of content: patient stories, case-study analyses, educational explainers, vertical ads, all published to YouTube and deployed across web, social & two purpose-built micro-sites.

The Result
Body
to
Face

The content reshaped the practice.

Facelift demand grew enough that Dr. Holley could pivot away from body work toward the high-value face surgery he actually wanted to do. The marketing didn't just fill the schedule. It changed what was on it.

·Quantify it if you can: % shift toward face cases, facelift volume, lead lift. I'll set the real number here.

The Hard Part

One shoot.
Eight platforms.

Great content only pays off if it lands everywhere it should. The real discipline isn't making the video. It's deploying every asset into the right place across the whole constellation: the sites, the channel, social, and Google Business Profile.

It's also where the biggest opportunity still sits. When content and web/search live with different vendors, value quietly leaks at the seams. The content needs to hit all eight. One team that owns the whole chain makes sure it does.
