Our Client Experience

SignalWest helped St. Jude Medical design and execute an innovative direct-to-patient campaign to educate and inspire those living with heart failure. The goal of the video campaign was to feature patient stories as a way to raise awareness for Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) as a potentially life-saving treatment.

Jeff Christensen accelerated the launch of the program from 6 to 3 months and was instrumental in crafting communications to a wide range of audiences including implant centers and patient communities. The campaign far exceeded our goals. As a result, we are considering additional patient-focused programs in 2017.

SignalWest is a proven PR Marketing Communications agency that has the expertise needed to design campaigns that will advance awareness for medical devices and health therapy programs. I highly recommend them.

Sr. Manager, Patient Advocacy, St. Jude Medical

The Diabetes Hands Foundation (DHF) brings together people touched by diabetes for positive change, to make sure that nobody living with this condition ever feels alone.

Following a thorough RFP process, we selected Jeff Christensen to manage a major media effort to expand our footprint in hispanic markets in the state of California. The SignalWest team was chosen over other marketing and PR communication firms because of their creative ideas, ability to deliver a productive message, and for the way they could open up new media channels quickly. As the engagement developed, we were impressed with the comprehensive coverage Jeff delivered for our message from Santa Rosa to Los Angeles. We landed a diverse media mix of exposure through print articles, radio spots and TV placements which strengthened our positioning and produced increased brand awareness for DHF.

Working with Jeff delivers a big pay off. Our foundation is now recognized as a trusted key player in the hispanic market. We maximized every media opportunity thanks to Jeff who did an amazing amount of homework and was on the front lines with our team during media events when it mattered most.

I’ve known Jeff Christensen for nearly 10 years and highly recommend the SignalWest team for helping organizations like DHF achieve their PR and marketing communication goals.
