Freedom Health Case Study - Sanctuary - A Digital Marketing Group

Freedom Health

Pioneers in equine digestive health research and products, Freedom Health needed to raise awareness both of the issues and of their products.

Many caregivers don’t understand why digestive health care should be a priority in how they manage their horses. Plus, the digestive supplement market has exploded with competitors in recent years. Education of the issues (to establish the need) and of the products was essential to growing the Freedom Health business.

SERVICES: Website strategy and production, content creation, social media strategy, Google search and retargeting advertising, email marketing, tradeshow support, web application development and overall SEO efforts for the company and products.

Optimizing for awareness and credibility

Aurora, Ohio, based company Freedom Health LLC is dedicated to finding, perfecting, and delivering superior, innovative products that address real and significant digestive health issues in horses. Freedom Health is heavily involved in research, education, and awareness-building in addition to manufacturing several products. But, they realized they were up against consumers’ outdated beliefs and misunderstandings regarding horse health and care. They needed to engage with both horse owners and veterinarians to share perspectives on horse health and nutrition before their products could even be discussed.

Our initial approach with Freedom Health emphasized creating high quality, research-based content to provide education and increase credibility in the industry. This content was used to grow search presence and amplify important messages via social media and email. We also provided extensive support and integration with offline campaigns such as print advertising and tradeshows. We’ve raised awareness for the brand, products, and messaging through social content, advertising and advocacy programs, Google search and retargeting, and email drip campaigns. Much of these efforts drove to an email subscription so that we could continue education and engagement.

More recently, Freedom Health’s focus has shifted to the veterinary audience, and we’ve been working together to raise awareness in that market and generate vet leads for the FH sales team.

“We decided to work with Sanctuary because they seemed smart, made the effort to understand our business quickly and approached our business as part of our team to help achieve our goals. We continue to work with Sanctuary because they not only live up to those early impressions, but they continue to bring new ideas and approaches to the table, and they work with us to continually evolve and improve our online marketing efforts as our business evolves and as the online world around us evolves. The icing on the cake is the people—all top notch talents with great personalities and a ‘let’s get it done’ attitude. I can’t imagine working with anyone else.”
