Overview
Kirby Bates Associates helps healthcare organizations find and develop their leaders, from executive and nurse executive search to interim leadership and advisory services. Its sister brand, Sullivan Healthcare Consulting, helps organizations develop and run ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). We’ve been their design partner for years, working with their marketing team across both brands.
The challenge
Two brands, one marketing team and a steady calendar of conferences, campaigns and sales conversations. Every piece had to feel clearly Kirby Bates or clearly Sullivan, stay consistent from one year to the next, and be ready in time for the next event or proposal.
Our approach
Events. We design their tradeshow booths, tabletop displays and counter wraps, including several editions of the Sullivan pop-up booth. On the latest one, a single headline, “An agile alternative to ASC development companies”, reads from across the aisle, and ten photo tiles explain the services up close.
Collateral. Case studies, white papers, one-pagers and brochures (including US and Canadian editions for Sullivan), plus collateral redesigns that keep older materials in line with the current brand.
Presentations and campaigns. PowerPoint decks and master templates for the sales team, print and digital ads for healthcare leadership publications, posters, invitations and logo updates.
The result
Both brands have a design partner who already knows their look, their audience and their deadlines. Each piece is delivered print-ready or presentation-ready, and the brands stay recognizable from a booth backdrop to a one-page PDF.
