Challenge
How do you drive awareness of a new company aiming to revolutionize pharmacy access for underserved HIV and HCV communities?
Approach
Thermal partnered with Alchemy to develop and execute a comprehensive launch strategy designed to resonate with key audiences.
The approach leveraged Alchemy’s unique story – rooted in its founders’ extensive experience managing the world’s largest HIV access program in Africa – and its transformative mission to integrate in-house pharmacy operations with clinic-based care.
Key elements of the launch included:
-
- Crafting Compelling Messaging: Highlighted Alchemy’s ability to triple patient reach at its Oklahoma City pilot location and its plans to expand across 20 states, addressing unmet needs for HIV and HCV populations.
- Securing High-Impact Media Coverage: Secured a detailed exclusive feature in Forbes, positioning Alchemy as a transformative leader in healthcare access, followed by targeted coverage in Endpoints News to amplify its visibility among industry stakeholders.
- Strategic Use of Announcements: Tied the $31M seed financing, led by Andreessen Horowitz and supported by investors like Earvin “Magic” Johnson, to Alchemy’s ability to scale its operations and impact, ensuring a compelling narrative for both media and potential partners.
- Showcasing the Founders’ Credibility: Emphasized the team’s track record in dispensing over 25 million prescriptions across all 50 U.S. states and their innovative approach to addressing barriers in the U.S. pharmacy system.
