Performance marketing for patient recruitment

Enrollments, not leads.

We’re a performance media-buying partner for healthcare and clinical-trial recruitment. Every dollar is tested against unit economics and optimized to the metric that funds your trial — cost per enrolled patient, not cost per lead.

We stopped paying for form-fills and started paying for patients who actually screen in. Same monthly spend, more than double the randomizations — because they optimize to what happens after the click, not the click itself.

The problem

More leads is the wrong goal

Patient recruitment is won or lost after the click. Optimizing for cheap volume quietly wastes budget and site capacity on people who were never going to enroll.

Lead volume is a vanity metric

Ten thousand cheap form-fills mean nothing if none of them screen in. Cost-per-lead hides the number that funds the trial: cost per enrollment.

Unqualified leads burn site capacity

Every ineligible referral your coordinators chase is time stolen from patients who could actually randomize. Bad leads have a real, compounding cost.

Screen-fail waste eats the budget

When targeting ignores inclusion and exclusion criteria, you pay full CPA for traffic that was never eligible in the first place.

Most vendors are blind past the click

Without downstream data, agencies optimize to whatever the ad platform rewards. We wire spend to screening and enrollment outcomes instead.

What we do

A full-funnel recruitment media engine

Channel expertise across paid social, search, and programmatic — wired to pre-qualification and downstream reporting so spend maps to enrollments.

Meta Ads & Paid Social

Creative testing, audience structure, and conversion optimization built for condition-specific recruitment — not generic lead-gen playbooks.

Media Buying & Lead Gen

SEM, programmatic, and CPA-model buying from a team with a long affiliate background. We buy on unit economics, across every channel that pays back.

Lead Quality & Exclusion Criteria

Pre-qualification forms and exclusion logic that filter out ineligible traffic before it ever reaches a coordinator or your CTMS.

Reporting & Optimization

Full-funnel dashboards tying spend to consent, screening, and randomization — so every optimization decision is anchored to enrollment, not clicks.

Why us

Quality over volume, engineered in

We come from performance and affiliate lead generation, where you don't get paid for traffic that doesn't convert. That discipline is the whole product.

Unit-economics-first testing

Every campaign is a controlled test with a payback threshold. We scale what clears the math on cost per enrollment and kill what doesn't — fast.

Quality over volume, by design

Pre-qualification and exclusion criteria are built in from day one, so the leads we deliver are the ones your sites can actually enroll.

Optimized to downstream conversion

We feed screening and enrollment data back into targeting and bidding, closing the loop between ad spend and the patients who randomize.

Operator's obsession with payback

A performance and affiliate background means we treat your budget like our own P&L — accountable to outcomes, not impressions.

FAQ

What partners ask before they start

We work best with sponsors and CROs running sustained recruitment, so we typically start with a one-to-two month test window at a media budget large enough to reach statistical read on cost per qualified lead. We'll tell you honestly in the first call whether your volume and geography are a fit before anyone signs anything.
