From Trends to Tactics: How Our Marketing Firm Helps Medical Staffing Agencies Win in Changing Markets

Patrick McFadden

Most marketing firms talk about tactics. We help our clients see the bigger picture.

When you're running a medical staffing or nurse staffing agency, the market isn’t just changing—it’s being shaped by forces you may not even see.


Take one of our clients, a long-term care (LTC) staffing agency. At first glance, their challenge was straightforward: attract more healthcare facilities to use their staffing services. But when we dug deeper, we saw a bigger shift happening—private equity firms were buying up LTC facilities, changing how staffing decisions were made.


For our client, this wasn’t just an interesting industry trend. It was an opportunity.


How We Helped Our Client Seize an Industry Shift


#1. Identifying Market Forces at Play

We analyzed the growing role of private equity in LTC and how these investors were optimizing for short-term financial returns. That meant staffing changes, cost-cutting measures, and a reliance on third-party staffing solutions. For a staffing agency, this wasn’t just noise—it was a chance to step in with a solution.


#2. Repositioning Their Marketing to Target the Right Clients

Rather than simply marketing to LTC facilities in general, we helped them pivot their approach to specifically target facilities recently acquired by private equity firms. These were the organizations facing the biggest staffing disruptions—and the ones most in need of flexible staffing solutions.


#3. Crafting Messaging That Speaks to Real Pain Points

Instead of the usual “We provide great nurses,” we positioned our client as a strategic staffing partner that could help LTC facilities:


  • Maintain high-quality patient care despite cost-cutting pressures
  • Avoid regulatory scrutiny by ensuring proper nurse-to-patient ratios
  • Balance cost-efficiency with operational effectiveness using flexible workforce solutions


The Result? Smarter Client Acquisition & Stronger Positioning

Rather than chasing leads that weren’t ready to buy, our client started attracting the right clients—ones who genuinely needed their services right now. By shifting from generic marketing to a strategic, industry-aware approach, they gained a competitive edge in a rapidly changing market.


Marketing Is More Than Just Ads—It’s About Business Strategy

This is what we do. We don’t just ‘do marketing’—we help our clients make sense of what’s happening in their industries, spot opportunities, and position themselves for success.


Because real marketing isn’t about chasing trends. It’s about understanding the forces driving demand and showing up in the right place, at the right time, with the right message.


If you’re tired of one-size-fits-all marketing and want a partner that helps you think strategically about your business, let’s talk. We help businesses connect the dots between industry shifts and real marketing opportunities—so they don’t just keep up, they get ahead.
