Sarah Thomas Occupational Therapy’s Digital Transformation with COG Marketing
Case Study: Sarah Thomas Occupational Therapy’s Digital Transformation with COG Marketing
Sarah Thomas Occupational Therapy is a Sydney-based mobile occupational therapy practice led by Sarah Thomas, an Occupational Therapist with over 20 years of experience. Covering the Sutherland Shire, St George, and Inner South West areas of Sydney, the practice specialises in aids and equipment, home modifications, manual handling, and functional assessments. Sarah Thomas works with clients aged 10+ across aged care, disability, neurology, accident recovery, and physical/intellectual disability sectors, helping build independence and improve quality of life for both clients and their carers.
As Sarah Thomas Occupational Therapy continued to grow, the team recognised the need for a modern digital presence that accurately reflected their expertise and reinforced their professional brand. That’s where COG Marketing stepped in, providing the solutions and strategy to transform their online presence and marketing capabilities.
The Challenge
Before partnering with COG Marketing, Sarah Thomas Occupational Therapy faced several challenges with their digital presence:
- Their website did not fully highlight the breadth of services, client demographics, or clinical expertise, making it harder for potential clients and referral partners to understand the practice’s full capabilities.
- The brand identity online did not fully communicate over 20 years of professional experience, personalised care, or mobile service delivery.
- Digital marketing efforts were minimal, resulting in fewer enquiries and limited engagement across the Sutherland Shire, St George, and Inner South West Sydney.
- Website hosting and email management were handled internally, causing inefficiencies and limiting scalability.
Sarah Thomas Occupational Therapy needed an integrated solution to modernise its digital presence, showcase its expertise, and attract new clients and referral partners.
