The Challenge:

As the worldwide leader in cancer care, Varian has a stronger resemblance to an industry gorilla than a Challenger Brand. But when it came to breaking through in the competitive world of brachytherapy treatment, Varian was indeed a Challenger Brand. Recognizing a need to rise above competitor treatment providers, Varian enlisted our team to help launch their new BRAVOS afterloader and supporting software.

Following a dedicated Challenger Brand Marketing® Discovery process, we learned that in the highly undervalued, yet fiercely competitive brachytherapy landscape, customers saw Varian as a reliable, supportive and trustworthy global leader in cancer care with a genuine desire to provide the necessary cancer-fighting solutions to meet their practice’s/patient’s needs. As the worldwide leader in cancer treatment, it was critical that Varian accepted that with leadership comes responsibility. Varian must become the worldwide champion of brachytherapy that proudly takes responsibility for lifting the brachy profile around the globe.

Commit’s Strategy:

Our Discovery process clearly called out the need for Varian to take the leadership role in promoting the increased survival rates of brachytherapy and take pride in their positioning as “The brachytherapy solutions you’ve come to expect from the worldwide leader in cancer care.” As Varian now says, “It’s a brave new world in brachytherapy.” Our team brought Varian’s brachytherapy practice back to prominence through an integrated package of marketing tactics including fresh messaging, product videos, trade show support, web page development, trade print ads and digital marketing.
