Marketing in regulated industries like healthcare and insurance is a balancing act. You need to engage patients and members effectively while navigating strict federal regulations such as HIPAA, CMS Marketing Guidelines, and state-specific insurance marketing laws. At The Marek Group, we understand these challenges—and we’ve spent over 50 years helping Fortune 2000 brands scale their marketing while maintaining airtight compliance.
Healthcare and insurance marketers face unique—and high-stakes—obstacles:
Regulatory Risk: Non-compliance with HIPAA, CMS, or state-level marketing regulations can lead to hefty fines, suspension of licenses, and even revocation of accreditations.
Fragmented Workflows: Disconnected vendors and manual processes create inefficiencies and limit visibility—making it difficult to enforce compliance and prove ROI.
Scalability and Customization: Multi-location organizations must empower licensed agents to customize marketing within their regional or certification-specific guidelines. Doing so manually is time-consuming and risky.
Maintaining Brand and Compliance Consistency: The challenge isn’t just about keeping logos and taglines consistent—it’s about enabling diverse teams to access, customize, and distribute content within licensing, role, and location-specific regulations.
Here are the solutions that Marek brings to the table to solve industry-specific challenges for healthcare and insurance marketers:
For multi-state organizations, keeping up with marketing material demand across locations is a logistical challenge. Our centralized distribution ensures you maintain control and accuracy—delivering the right materials, on time, every time.
Secure, targeted communications are critical for engaging patients and acquiring new members. Our print and direct mail services comply with HIPAA and leverage SOC 2- and HITRUST-based practices to ensure data privacy and process integrity.
✅ Example: Froedtert Health partnered with Marek to execute a multichannel campaign targeting patients without a primary care physician. Leveraging secure data and personalized messaging, the campaign used direct mail and email to convert walk-ins into long-term patients—resulting in over $1.2M in lifetime patient value from 788 new primary care conversions.
Patient and member incentives must follow strict rules under the Anti-Kickback Statute. Our compliance-first approach ensures that every incentive program—whether it's a wellness reward or a loyalty benefit—meets federal and state-level standards.
Triptych, our proprietary software, enables brokers, reps, and field marketers to build campaigns within pre-approved, compliant guidelines. Through permissions-based access, users can customize content based on role, location, or certification—ensuring every asset is compliant by design.
✅ Example: A Fortune 500 healthcare company used Triptych to transform their content customization process—automating workflows and eliminating creative bottlenecks. Today, they save over 16,000 hours annually and $500,000 in marketing spend, all while enabling 72,000 agents to build compliant, customized campaigns in minutes.
Our certified woman-owned division, HighNote, helps brands support supplier diversity initiatives while still delivering high-performance marketing. For healthcare and insurance companies prioritizing ESG, HighNote offers both a strategic and cultural advantage.
For over 50 years, The Marek Group has been a trusted marketing partner for enterprise healthcare and insurance brands. Here's why:
Full Transparency: Real-time access to your entire marketing supply chain
Compliance by Design: SOC 2 and HITRUST-based workflows, backed by HIPAA and CMS regulatory knowledge
Proven ROI: Measurable outcomes, from engagement lift to cost savings
Field Enablement at Scale: Empower teams to execute compliant marketing wherever they are
Healthcare marketing doesn’t have to be a trade-off between compliance and customization for growth. With solutions like HIPAA-secure direct mail, Triptych’s permissions-based automation, and centralized fulfillment—Marek helps you scale with confidence.
