THE SITUATION
Better Version Lab (BVL) set out to forever transform cosmetic surgery worldwide. By combining world-class aesthetic procedures with Mediterranean hospitality, BVL has helped make medical tourism feasible for those seeking self-transformation.
But no matter how compelling the concept, the realities were steep:
- Intense global competition from hundreds of clinics in Turkey and Europe.
- High trust barriers from U.S. and European patients seeking patient reviews and testimonials.
- Difficulty attracting top-tier physicians to a new aesthetic surgery brand.
- Limited runway for a launch needing immediate traction
BVL wasn’t just launching a cosmetic surgery clinic; they were devising startup tools to sell safety, aspiration, and identity in one of the most high-stakes, low-trust categories on earth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- From Zero to Global in 60 Days: launched a med-tourism brand at scale with AI-driven GTM.
- Triple the Demand in Just 30 Days: predictive AI campaigns unlocked rapid traffic growth across the U.S., EU & GCC.
- Twice the Content, Half the Time: AI and human collaboration cut production cycles by 50%.
- Turning Skepticism into Trust: cultural branding and patient stories-built credibility in a low-trust market.
THE SOLUTION
Our mission was to help BVL become more than just a clinic. We positioned it as a place where people could find self-renewal and transformation, receive treatment from top medical experts, and embark on a rich cultural experience.
We constructed a fully integrated go-to-market system that combined emotional brand elements, performance-driven content, AI-enabled infrastructure, and creative storytelling, all under the pressure of speed and scale.
1. Brand Positioning & Identity:
To build trust fast, we began by mining cultural, emotional, and digital signals through social listening and audience modeling. The insight was simple but powerful:
- Patients weren’t chasing perfection; they strived to feel confident and in control.
- To bring this aspiration to life, we conceptualized: ‘Discover the Better You’, a tagline and flagship campaign rooted in elegance and cultural symbolism.
From there, we developed a visual identity rooted in elegance and symbolism:
- Logo Design: The tulip, Turkey’s national flower, is a visual metaphor for blooming into one’s potential.
- Color System: Mediterranean-inspired color palette including soft blues, terracotta, and ivory.
- Design Language: A balance of clinical credibility and desirable warmth.
2. Digital Experience & Website
We translated BVL’s new identity into a digital-first experience that educated and inspired patients:
- Multilingual website: Optimized for U.S., EU, and GCC* audiences.
- Hybrid creative: Personalized by AI and revamped by human editors to preserve an emotional tone.
- Patient story library: Educational assets to build social proof and patient relatability by simplifying complex topics into visual, credible content.
- A 24/7 AI chatbot: Provided immediate support, reduced friction, and streamlined bookings.
*Note: GCC stands for Gulf Cooperation Council
3. AI-Augmented Performance Marketing Engine:
With a premier brand platform as the foundation, we built a data-driven launch engine optimized for speed, scalability, and consistency:
- Automated, Predictive Campaigns: AI-powered A/B and multivariate testing, paired with predictive analytics to optimize ads across U.S., EU, and GCC markets.
- Scalable, Localized Content: With human editors in charge, AI-driven translation and content generation pipelines resulted in the rapid adaptation of culturally rich content and brand-aligned messaging at scale.
- Unified Brand Narrative: Every asset, from digital ads to an original brand anthem, “Your Mediterranean Dream Awaits”, added a cohesive story across the board.
- Real-Time, Actionable Insights: Consolidated dashboards combining campaign and CRM data to deliver granular, live feedback on marketing funnel performance, assisting with optimization.
