We didn't learn this
in a classroom.
We lived it.
Before we ever took on a client, we built a multimillion-dollar healthcare practice from nothing — and marketed it ourselves, on a shoestring, through every channel available. Every strategy we offer has been stress-tested in our own clinic. If it didn't work there, we don't recommend it.

a bad month at AIM
From $3,996
to a million-dollar
practice.
In 2005, Tonya Weber had $3,996.47 to her name — after a divorce, betrayal, and $109K in credit card debt opened in her name without her knowledge. She boarded a cruise ship in San Diego and spent the next ten years setting revenue records for the world's largest spa company. Records that still stand.
In April 2019, her mother got sick. She made the longest 3-hour drive of her life from Charleston to North Myrtle Beach — and made a decision in a hospital room: she was moving to be closer to her mom.

July 1, 2019
Moved to North Myrtle Beach. No practice, no patients, no plan — just a conviction that Hope is Not a Plan.

August 8, 2019
Signed the lease for AIM — Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine. Began building the marketing engine before the doors even opened.

October 15, 2019
Opened the doors with 16 patients already scheduled. That's what strategic marketing before launch looks like.

2025
$1.6M in revenue — running 20–24 hours a week with Tonya 98% operationally removed. AIM now draws patients from as far as two hours in every direction.
We didn't just run ads.
We broke records.
Every marketing channel we offer was tested, funded, and proven inside AIM first. These aren't projections. This is what happened.
We ran Google Ads through every constraint the healthcare industry throws at you — HIPAA-conscious targeting, limited condition-based keywords, restricted remarketing — and still found the angles that fill schedules. A $600 monthly budget produced tens of thousands in new patient revenue. We know exactly which parameters work in healthcare and which ones get your account flagged.
One print ad campaign drove so much inbound call volume that we had to add a dedicated phone line just to handle it. Print is not dead in healthcare — patients who find you in a local magazine or publication arrive with a level of trust that digital alone doesn't build. We design, negotiate placement, and craft copy that actually converts.
AIM's television spots became recognizable across the region. The interviews performed so well that we were approached about hosting our own television program.(If only there were more than 24 hours in a day.) We handle everything — scripting, production, placement — so you show up on screen looking like the authority you are, not an afterthought squeezed between used car lots.
When every channel is working together — radio, print, TV, Google, social — the phone doesn't stop. AIM runs two front-desk staff plus a full-time virtual receptionist just to keep up with inbound volume. That's not a lead problem. That's a capacity problem — and it's a good one to have. We'll help you build toward it.
Hope is
not a plan.
Most healthcare marketing agencies have never run a healthcare practice. They learn your industry from you, on your dime, while they figure it out.
We built the blueprint. Now we execute it for yours.
We started with almost nothing. That experience made us obsessive about ROI. Every channel we recommend, we can point to a real result in our own clinic. We never pitch something we haven't personally validated.
Clients in other markets love to say "this won't work in my town." We've heard it 45 states and multiple provinces in the making. The channels change. The strategy doesn't. Patients are patients.
Tonya runs AIM at 98% removed — working just 20 hours a week in clinic while the practice generates $1.6M. Great marketing doesn't just fill the schedule. It builds a business that works without you standing in it every minute.
We don't hand you a strategy deck and wish you luck. We build, run, and manage your marketing so you can focus on patients. You'll know what's working, why it's working, and what comes next — without spending your weekends learning ad platforms.
We know the walls.
And how to work around them.
Healthcare marketing isn't like marketing a restaurant or a law firm. The platforms treat you differently. We know every constraint — because we ran into every one of them first.
HIPAA-Conscious Digital Advertising
Google and Meta both restrict how healthcare providers can target and retarget. We've navigated every limitation — from condition-based keyword restrictions to remarketing prohibitions — and built campaigns that fill schedules anyway.
Google's Healthcare Ad Parameters
Personalized advertising for health conditions is restricted by Google policy. Most agencies get surprised by this. We built our entire Google strategy around these constraints from day one — and still delivered 75x returns on ad spend.
Patient Trust & Consent Marketing
Healthcare patients make decisions differently than retail shoppers. The messaging, the channels, and the nurture sequences all need to reflect the sensitivity of their situation. We write copy that earns trust before it asks for the appointment.
Multi-Channel Attribution in Healthcare
A patient might see your TV spot, search your name on Google, find your print ad in a waiting room, and then call. Most agencies credit only the last click. We track the full picture — because in healthcare, multiple impressions create the patient, not just one.
Radio Script & Placement for Practices
Radio works differently in healthcare than any other industry. Credibility, warmth, and community connection matter more than a clever hook. We write scripts, coach delivery, and place your spots where your ideal patient actually listens.
Your Own Self-Published Magazine
One of AIM's most powerful brand-builders is a magazine with our name on the cover. It lives in waiting rooms across the area, positions the practice as the authority, and drives referrals from people who've never met you. We handle everything, start to finish.
