Announcing Omni Health

Today is the official launch of Omni Health! It’s been a fast and furious transition into Omnicom Health Group. The team, leadership, and data assets are amazing. We wasted no time working towards an accelerated launch of Omni Health. It was great to take the data experience gained from my time with Epsilon and take it to another level with Omnicom.

Omni Health is a unique extension of Omnicom’s people-based precision marketing and insights platform, Omni. It’s the first and only end-to-end healthcare-centric data platform designed for the specific requirements of healthcare marketers and clients, especially around privacy compliance.

It takes this prescribing data, physician data, medical and pharmacy claims, and coverage data and integrates it with Omni’s vast consumer data. This includes demographics, purchasing behavior and media consumption. Omni Health will house all of this within a single, intuitive user interface, and with critical data privacy safeguards built right in. 

Omni Health not only has the power to provide insights into healthcare practitioners’ prescribing habits and patterns, it can also reveal behavioral factors that motivate HCPs not just as professionals, but as people…in essence, the human side of healthcare decisioning.

From a consumer standpoint, Omni Health will enable the identification of patient cohorts based on health status, allowing us to design more individualized communications along the patient health journey.

Most excitingly, Omni Health will help us uncover connected insights across HCP and consumer audiences, allowing for concurrent and synergistic campaign planning. With different medical conditions, Omni Health will also help us highlight purchase behaviors, geography, and other important customer dimensions, helping us determine what marketing activity or message needs the most emphasis, and in which channels.

In short, Omni Health really will unlock the potential for creating true omnichannel experiences.

Here is the Press Release announcing the launch as well as Business Insiders exclusive coverage.

RedUrbanIt seems that for the past 10+ years all roads have pointed in this direction. I have been involved with agencies since the onset of my interactive career.

From my initial entry during the original dot com boom with Fullmoon Interactive (full service interactive agency) to then moving on to become a co-founder of Smooth Fusion. SF provided the technical heavy lifting to enable campaigns for agencies in the Omnicom, WPP & Interpublic networks. The main constants were always digital + agencies.

For the last five years I have been on the forefront of the enterprise social media explosion thanks in part to my involvement initially with Telligent Systems (Community & Social Analytics driven platforms) then as the Chief Marketing Officer of INgage networks (Cloud computing based enterprise & gov 2.0 integrated social solutions).

During this time I had the privilege to partner and be a part of cutting edge usage of social media by a number of Fortune 1000 companies (Dell, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Starbucks, P&G, American Express to name a few) and now I look forward to enabling brands via my experience with social strategy definition (KPI’s, ROI) implementation (Community, Crowdsourcing, Mobile, Consumer Networks, Social CRM) and measurement & analysis (Online buzz monitoring, Social Analytics) officially from the agency side!

I recently joined an extremely talented team at Red Urban (Dallas, TX). Red Urban is an OMNICOM group agency that provides comprehensive digital solutions for our end-clients and agencies throughout the Omnicom network. Our primary focus is world class creative & digital (Rich Media, Web, Social) strategy with an emphasis and expertise in integrating social channels and best practices into a brands digital strategy.

My role as the SVP, Digital Strategy will enable me to call upon every element of my experience in defining digital/social solutions while also keeping an eye to the future via emerging technology.

I definitely look forward to collaborating with our team and partners to deliver compelling digital campaigns that truly leverage the power of social as part of an overall digital strategy.
