Case Studies

Objective

Stratamed and Strataderm by Stratapharma are two groundbreaking, first-to-market products for wound and scar care. The company found it challenging to find opportunity in the general consumer sector. When The Voice singer Meghan Linsey suffered a poisonous spider bite, a GGBPR associate who represents the brand, proactively seized the opportunity to seed Meghan with the Stratpharma products, allowing GGBPR to then parlay this into media placement to generate consumer awareness and education. The media push subsequently went viral.

  • Liaised with Meghan Linsey’s publicist to discuss co-pushing a strategic media plan to pitch the story of her spider bite and recovery to celebrity-focused press, with inclusion of Stratamed and chronicling her recovery.
  • Initiated dialogue with People Magazine to break the story, and negotiated an exclusive celebrity interview for Meghan Linsey.
