Somna Therapeutics Names Shine United Agency of Record
Madison, WI (PRWEB) August 31, 2017 -- Somna Therapeutics has named Shine United agency of record for its REZA BAND UES Assist Device, the first of its kind, noninvasive, non-medication treatment for acid reflux into the throat and lungs. Shine, which has a strong and growing presence in the healthcare and medical devices categories, will be responsible for refining the brand across every point of contact with consumers, as Somna positions itself for accelerated growth in 2018 and beyond. The agency was hired after a review that included Shine, two New York agencies and three Chicago firms.
“We were looking for a true partner that had both the experience and skills to help us catapult the REZA BAND business forward,” said Nick Maris, president and CEO at Somna. “From the start, Shine United showed a business savvy, entrepreneurial spirit and wealth of experience in helping brands just like ours achieve rapid, smart growth. We are excited to build out our strategy and develop breakthrough creative that resonates with the millions of people suffering from acid reflux disease who can improve their quality of life with REZA BAND.”
The engagement will be focused on building awareness and targeted sales for the REZA BAND, which is currently available in select international markets and the US through physician clinics, hospitals and home health care. Shine is immediately embarking on brand identity, marketing communications planning, website redesign and digital marketing activities, including paid, owned and earned channels, including extensive content marketing.
“We love the opportunity to work on brands that make a real difference in the world,” said Curt Hanke, Shine founder and CEO. “The Somna team has done a fantastic job building a foundation on which we can build together. Now it’s time to tell the world about the remarkably simple relief that is one of the best-kept secrets in the healthcare industry. We’re excited to be rolling up our sleeves and partnering to build this business and the REZA BAND brand.”
