In a healthcare landscape driven by conversions and click-through rates, Lori Werner saw a glaring omission: the female decision-maker. With women influencing nearly 80% of healthcare choices in households, why were most marketing strategies ignoring them?
That insight sparked the creation of Medical Marketing Whiz, a women-led agency devoted to helping women-led practices thrive — not just by filling appointment books, but by building trust-first patient communities through strategy, empathy, and education.
Redefining the Healthcare Marketing Equation
Armed with a background in pharmaceutical and medical device sales, Lori didn’t stumble into healthcare marketing — she engineered it with intention. Her agency specializes in serving longevity, aesthetics, functional medicine, and anti-aging clinics — spaces where connection matters as much as clinical skill.
Unlike traditional agencies that default to ads and analytics, Medical Marketing Whiz offers something different: authority-building strategies, personalized content, and emotionally intelligent marketing that speaks to real women.
“Niching down gave us clarity and strength,” Lori explains. “It’s tempting to try and be everything to everyone, but the real magic happens when you become the expert in your space.”
Their formula blends SEO, podcasts, social media campaigns, and patient education — all tailored to amplify the voice of women practitioners and the concerns of their patients.
When Crisis Hit, Connection Became the Cure
The pandemic tested the entire healthcare ecosystem. Marketing budgets were slashed, uncertainty soared. But Lori didn’t back down. She guided her clients through digital transitions — introducing telehealth communications, launching email campaigns, and hosting webinars to keep patients informed and engaged.
“During the pandemic, we had two choices — pause or pivot. We chose to pivot, and so did our clients,” says Lori. “And that choice helped them stay connected to their patients, even when their doors were closed.”
Another pivotal moment came when Lori bought out her business partner to become the sole owner. It was a leap that required both strategic realignment and a deeper recommitment to her agency’s values. That bold move didn’t just redefine her leadership — it sharpened her agency’s focus and future.
Advice for Women Entrepreneurs: Choose Your Space, Protect Your Energy
Lori’s guidance to women founders is simple but deeply earned:
Know your worth.
Be fearless about choosing a niche.
Say no when it protects your mission.
Surrounding herself with mentors and driven peers, especially through the Women Presidents Organization, helped Lori scale both personally and professionally. She believes every business decision should reflect your deeper purpose — not just your revenue goals.
Marketing That Heals
Lori Werner’s story is more than a case study in business growth — it’s a model for mission-led leadership. Her agency doesn’t just market services; it builds legacies for women-led clinics that are reshaping modern medicine.
In an industry where attention spans are fleeting, Lori has proven that trust — not clicks — is the most enduring currency. Her journey reminds women entrepreneurs that the path to real impact isn’t paved with vanity metrics, but with clarity, courage, and connection.
