Case Study

Expanding the Reach of the Pink Ribbon
breastcancer.org
 
    For the 19-year-old wondering how to lower her risk...it's there.

The day after your diagnosis, through chemotherapy, radiation, and every lock of hair lost...it's there.

For breast cancer survivor Lori Scott, Breastcancer.org was always there.

"Breastcancer.org saved my life," Scott said. "When I was diagnosed, I was terrified. Some other resources I used confused me or made me even more fearful. I was so relieved when I found Breastcancer.org–the information always answered my questions." she added.

With 1 in 8 women expected to get breast cancer during her lifetime, Breastcancer.org will continue to be more than just a presence in women's lives–it will become the ultimate survival kit.

Siegel+Gale was honored to help the world's most trafficked website for breast cancer news and information arm itself as one of the staunchest warriors the disease has ever faced. Siegel+Gale gave the organization a new identity–one that symbolizes the alliance between Breastcancer.org and its members.
  Intertwined with pink ribbons to form a circle, the logo offers a unique twist on the traditional image of breast cancer awareness.

With its new identity, Breastcancer.org needed one final weapon to add to its arsenal–a website stocked with enough research, support, and preventative information to turn breast cancer victims into survivors.

Breastcancer.org gathered input from thousands of site users, including breast cancer patients and their families. The new site strikes a balance between creativity and functionality, making the user experience more friendly, intuitive, and helpful to both frequent and new users.

Breastcancer.org founder and president, Marisa Weiss, M.D said the site gives women and their families the best medical answers for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

"Our renewed bold determination will make it easier for us to help eradicate this dreadful disease from the face of the earth," Weiss said.

  Five Ideas for Using Brand to Drive Guest Loyalty  
  Matt Huss Customer loyalty continues to be a hot topic among marketing professionals. Much discussion centers on getting customers to recommend your product–in your case, a hotel–to someone else.

The question is: Why should a guest recommend your hotel? Why should they want to come back? How do you create fresh and engaging ways to make a guest's stay special? After all, service and accommodations at your hotel should not only be high quality, they should be distinctive and memorable.
  The answer: think brand. A clear, compelling brand represents a rich, proprietary source for creating a distinctive guest experience and for making guests want to come back. Here are five ideas for using brand to drive guest loyalty.

Idea #1: Think outside the cookie. How can you differentiate your hotel?

Idea #2: Create "freedom in a framework." How can each hotel express its individuality along with the corporate brand?

Idea #3: Tune in to younger guests. How can you appeal to younger audiences?
  Idea #4: Reinvent the warm hug. How can you make guests feel truly special?

Idea #5: Get a grip on your visual identity. How can you use your brand to strengthen guest relationships?
