[MINNEAPOLIS, May 7, 2020] – The Lacek Group, a Minneapolis-based national leader in loyalty and customer-engagement, announced today that it has joined the Medical Alley Association. The MAA supports and advances the global leadership of its healthcare industry members and their connectivity around the world.
“Patient loyalty and engagement are critical to every healthcare offering now and in the future,” says Bill Baker, CEO of The Lacek Group. “Our agency is uniquely positioned to be at the center of the healthcare loyalty ecosystem, thanks to decades of proven and recognized expertise among our longtime Fortune 500 clients. We’ll bring patient and customer engagement plus new strategies to our healthcare clients.”
The Lacek Group’s membership in MAA is further proof that the 27-year-old agency is committed to improving patient outcomes and solving healthcare engagement issues. A specialist brand company of Ogilvy, The Lacek Group plans to leverage Ogilvy Health’s long tenure in healthcare strategies and campaigns. Tess MacGibbon, who will help lead the new healthcare practice group, brings more than 20 years of experience as a marketing leader in healthcare, medical devices and med tech; she serves as director of thought leadership at The Lacek Group.
“We’re thrilled that The Lacek Group is bringing their decades of experience in customer engagement and loyalty to the Medical Alley membership,” says Shaye Mandle, President and CEO of the Medical Alley Association. “As healthcare continues to evolve and Medical Alley leaders continue to drive change, we know that The Lacek Group’s expertise will play a significant role in the future of healthcare.”
