Tenet Healthcare hired A&P to rebrand one of the company’s largest hospital networks. The agency will also have duties that include marketing the network by utilizing TV, print, radio, outdoor, digital and social media.

“A&P brought fresh and creative ideas to the table that blew us away. These ideas came from a strong strategic foundation, and we believe will not only lift our brand but also help us to increase revenue in the Phoenix marketplace,” said Chief Business Development Officer, Kat Rondeau. “We started the agency search with over 12 national agencies both large and small.  When we narrowed it down to the three finalists, our committee of 6 Hospital CEOs and marketers from Corporate and the region were all ecstatic that we all unanimously agreed on A&P. They were just very in tune with our needs and solutions to those needs both strategically and creatively.

“The agency renamed the hospital network, Abrazo Community Health Network. The word Abrazo means, “Embrace”. That’s the meaning behind Abrazo. Abrazo embraces the metropolitan Phoenix community’s health,” says Paris Hinson, Chief Creative Officer of A&P. We not only came up with a new name and brand identity but it was important for us to inject the brand sentiment into every interaction with patients from signage to on-hold scripts to elevator wrap designs to the advertising and media. Our clients truly allowed us to affect the brand experience in its totality.”
