ATC Alert: stop selling a watch, start selling peace of mind.

ATC Alert sells medical alert systems with 24/7 monitoring, mobile alerts and smartwatches. We rewrote the advertising around the service rather than the device, tested it variant by variant, moved tracking server-side so Google and Meta get reliable conversion data, and automated the email programme from the subscription system.

The situation

ATC Alert is a leader in medical alert systems: award-winning monitoring centres, 24/7 protection, mobile alerts and smartwatches, built to keep people safe and independent, especially later in life. Its digital marketing hadn't kept pace: the ads led with the device and its price, and the tracking couldn't reliably tell the ad platforms what worked.

What we did

  1. A/B-tested the messaging. The first variants led with the good pricing and the low one-time equipment fee of the medical alert watch; the tests moved us to the value of the subscription and the service behind it. Testing ran through variant G, refining calls to action and copy each round.
  2. Introduced server-side tagging, which gets past common cookie blockers and sends accurate conversion data to Google Ads (through Google Analytics) and to the Facebook Pixel.
  3. Designed the ad creatives, so each one leads with what the service does for the customer.
  4. Ran email marketing in Mailchimp, connected to Chargebee: when a customer buys, their segment and audience update automatically, so no one gets emails that no longer apply.

What moved

The shift from product-centric to service-centric messaging connected better with the audience, and the cleaner conversion data made the campaigns cost-effective: the original case study reports an average spend of €5–6 on Facebook and around €10 on Google. The email programme raised interest and sales.

And since

ATC Alert is a different company from ATC Healthcare, the staffing network whose brand system we rebuilt.
