Oops? Ouch! How One Urgent Care Center’s Advertising Sets It Apart
Copywriter and SHCM columnist Peter Hochstein recently spotted an interesting advertising tactic for an urgent care center: A billboard displaying the word “OOPS?” in an upward-slanted, rounded rectangle, along with the word “OUCH!” in a similar but downward-slanted rectangle. Adjacent to OOPS? and OUCH! is a headline that says “Crystal Run Urgent Care!”
Hochstein was curious to know how the “OOPS?/OUCH!” advertising was working.
But a subsequent exchange of questions and answers with the people who speak for Crystal Run Healthcare, headquartered in Middletown, New York, and its advertising agency, PCI in Alexandria, Virginia, indicated that there’s a lot more to the story—and to Crystal Run.
It might all, Hochstein concluded, be part of an emerging trend toward marketing fully integrated health care.
