Attracting New Pediatric Health Professionals to a First-Year Event

For their first-ever Pediatric Mental & Behavioral Health Conference, WIAAP wanted to expand beyond their core pediatrician membership to attract a broader continuum of child health professionals. The target audiences included:

  • School health staff and counselors
  • Therapists, family counselors, and child psychologists
  • EMS and first responders
  • Nurses, RNs, & PAs

The challenge: to build awareness and registrations among professionals not already on WIAAP’s lists while creating cohesion with the conference’s new branding.

Designing Hyper-Targeted Campaigns on LinkedIn and Meta for Precision Reach

Ocreative developed a comprehensive, audience-first social media campaign that included:

  • Custom Messaging & Graphics: tailored value propositions for each audience, built around the unique benefits of attending.
  • Strategic Media Planning: allocating budget across Meta and LinkedIn, with an emphasis on LinkedIn to reach school and healthcare professionals where they engage most.
  • Branded Cohesion: applied the custom conference branding consistently across all posts, reinforcing legitimacy and visibility.
  • Full Campaign Management: wrote copy, designed visuals, managed ad execution, monitored results, and refined strategy in real time.

  • Established a repeatable playbook for future outreach, blending branded visuals with hyper-targeted messaging.

I have worked with Ocreative for more than a decade with excellent results across projects – website, direct mail, digital media, and more. Their team is honest, talented, fun to work with, fair and respectful. They are quick to respond, able to adapt, and skilled at involving a variety of people in diverse organizational roles to ensure the best possible collaboration. No question is too small or too large. Yes, they are an award-winning agency (including with some of our projects!), and yes, their portfolio is amazing – but they succeed beyond measure because of their people and their approach toward their clients. We simply wouldn’t choose any other partner for creative projects.
