Agency President and Founder Rebecca Pierce-Merrick stated, “It is truly an honor to help Cape Cod Healthcare communicate the high level of skill and caring that the system offers to everyone on Cape Cod.”
“Cape Cod Healthcare is one of America’s Top Ten healthcare systems; we needed to develop a strong branding campaign to let the community know that the quality of care provided here is exceptional,” said Patrick Kane, SVP, Business Development and Marketing Communications for Cape Cod Healthcare. “Working with Pierce Cote, we developed a campaign which tells this story of CCHC through the eyes of our patients. Pierce Cote did an exceptional job in helping us plan, coordinate and execute this campaign. We’re delighted that their efforts were recognized with several awards at the Lamplighter Dinner Thursday night.”
