January, 2025.- Drawing from her extensive experience in leading double-digit growth at agencies like Grey Health and Wellness, Sinclair is determined to bring creativity and human-centric storytelling to the forefront of healthcare campaigns.
A Creative Revolution in Healthcare
Sinclair highlights a critical gap in healthcare marketing: the lack of impactful, emotionally-driven advertising. “Creative that makes you feel, that grabs your attention, and transforms behavior – whether prescribing differently, adhering better, or choosing wellness solutions – is rare,” Sinclair noted. She believes that healthcare is one of the most personal aspects of life, and yet marketers often fail to leverage storytelling in a way that truly changes lives. This, she says, is the key to VCCP Health’s continued growth and expansion.
“The creative work at VCCP Health is some of the most beautiful and impactful I’ve ever seen. It’s why I joined the agency. We’re going to continue expanding by staying true to these creative principles, all while fostering a culture of care among our people,” she added.
Balancing Science and Creativity
VCCP Health is recognized for its disruptive, science-based campaigns that aim to improve patient outcomes. Sinclair’s leadership will continue to emphasize the seamless integration of creativity with scientific accuracy. She stressed that, when driven by human behavior insights, balancing the two becomes second nature. “Science-based creativity is at the core of our mission – to create disruptive work that transforms behavior and improves lives,” Sinclair explained.
Championing Authentic Representation of Women
As head of the Healthcare Council for SeeHer, Sinclair has been a vocal advocate for authentic representation of women and girls in health campaigns. At VCCP Health, this advocacy will influence their healthcare marketing approach. Sinclair referenced powerful statistics: women influence over 85% of all consumer decisions and are the key decision-makers in 80% of healthcare choices. Yet many brands, especially in healthcare, fail to authentically connect with them.
“The research shows a direct correlation between accurate representation of women and increased sales,” Sinclair emphasized. “When brands get it right, they see up to a 500% increase in spending. Representing women authentically in our campaigns isn’t just good for business, it’s good for society.”
Leveraging AI and Data for Better Outcomes
VCCP Health is leveraging cutting-edge technology, including AI, data, and digital expertise, to enhance healthcare marketing strategies. Sinclair underscored how VCCP has curated a network of specialized capabilities, such as behavioral sciences and AI tools like fAIth, to optimize their clients’ outreach to both patients and healthcare professionals. She emphasized the importance of transparency and outcome-driven solutions.
“We bring our clients exactly what they need, when they need it,” Sinclair explained. “VCCP is all about effective delivery and impactful outcomes.”
The Rise of Wellness and Prevention
Sinclair sees a tremendous opportunity for challenger brands to disrupt the healthcare and wellness industry. Traditionally, health advertising focused on illness and chronic diseases, but now, wellness and prevention have become integral parts of the healthcare conversation. This shift is creating new opportunities for brands to engage with consumers about their holistic well-being.
“People are more interested than ever in what they eat, how they sleep, and how they can live longer, healthier lives. Brands that understand their audience’s mental models and cultural influences are poised to make a major impact,” Sinclair said. “Smart, scientifically accurate creative that tells a compelling story will place these brands at the intersection of disruption and success.”
With Sinclair at the helm, VCCP Health is poised to continue its trajectory of innovation, using creativity, science, and inclusivity to shape the future of healthcare marketing in North America.
