Keynote Q&A: Labcorp and the Patient-First Journey
Expanding beyond its roots in diagnostics and testing, Labcorp’s In Pursuit of Answers campaign was part of a rebranding effort that established their broader reach into treatments, vaccines and research trials. But it was the tip of a new effort to speak to patients about complex topics like biopsies and biomarkers in empathetic ways that acknowledged patient experience. We explore with Maggie how the company is using new approaches and thinking to engage patients where they are.

How have their allocations shifted as search, social and TV/CTV platforms shift their models? What channels are over and underperforming?
