"Hodge Schindler’s
initiatives to help the AAAHC build its profile in the ambulatory care
community were very successful. As a result of Hodge Schindler’s
consistent and steady emphasis on expanding our credibility through editorial
coverage, our stature over the five years of the program grew considerably.
The approach also helped fuel a substantial increase each year in the number
of organizations seeking accreditation, a direct, bottom-line benefit."

The Hodge Schindler team was quick on the draw. Within short
order, the account members helped us create an award entry that won
us an honorable mention at an international tradeshow technology competition.

in national and regional trade publications and created our new website.
The firm’s other initiatives, like an e-postcard marketing campaign

efficient manner.
