In the summer of 2016, few consumers had heard of Noom. It was a 7-year-old digital health company that was struggling to find its place in a crowded weight loss space. Fast forward to 2019, and you will see their brand everywhere. Their weight loss program has been on CNBC, People Magazine, CNN, the NBC Today Show, Men’s Health – to name a few.

In fact, you can probably name any big news organization, and MACIAS PR likely has a media placement to showcase for this campaign. (The Washington Post, Women’s Fitness Magazine, Politico, New York Post, Fast Company Magazine, TechCrunch, Yahoo News, International Business Times, CBS News, and local TV in multiple markets).

(In the B2B sector, MACIAS PR secured stories on Noom with The American Journal of Managed Care, Mobihealthnews, Fierce Biotech, FW Pharma, M Health Intelligence, Med City News and others. We also secured stories with the Spanish and Korean media).

But before MACIAS PR started working with Noom, the digital health company had little media exposure. Noom’s previous PR firm – one of the country’s largest healthcare PR firms – secured only 4 media placements during their contract. That’s right – FOUR. And they weren’t even big outlets: MedCityNews, HIT, News.com.au and Tech.co.

Meantime, MACIAS PR averaged 7.8 media placements over the course of our 3-year PR partnership. The MACIAS PR boutique firm out-hussled the big guys on this campaign, like we do with all of our clients.

Making this campaign even more challenging, MACIAS PR secured these media placements with little guidance from the client. Yes, I worked closely with the founders, trying to identify story angles that were news worthy. But Noom didn’t have a marketing department or CMO for much of our partnership. That meant we had to drive the strategy and focus for each campaign.

And we succeeded. MACIAS PR helped the company become one of the most Googled brands in 2018; we helped raise their profile for fundraising rounds; Our work helped our client win numerous awards following strategic campaigns, including listings as the Best Place to Work.

It’s media campaigns like Noom’s that led marketing peers to name MACIAS PR the 2017, 2018 and 2019 Strategic PR Firm of the Year. It’s a strategy based on editorial, creativity, persistence, and precise execution that only a media insider would know.

Here’s a closer look at what this boutique PR firm – MACIAS PR – did for Noom and how we can achieve similar results for your digital health or tech company.
