Our approach

Specialist marketing that works as one system, not a collection of disconnected tactics.

We work alongside established specialist and private practices to deliver strategic, compliant medical marketing that protects your reputation, supports your referral base and attracts the right patients.

Most specialist patients arrive with a GP referral, then Google your name before they book. Every partnership is built around a clear strategy that makes sure what they find builds confidence. SEO, Google Ads, social and email work as one integrated system, accountable to the same growth targets and measured by the same metrics.

We work with a small number of practices on purpose. It means we can provide genuine strategic oversight, not just task management, and adapt thoughtfully as your practice grows.

Our Services

Integrated growth partnerships for specialist practices.

We don't sell standalone services. Every partnership is built around a clear strategy that ties your channels together and holds each one accountable to measurable outcomes.

Be the specialist patients find, and trust, when they search your name or your specialty. We combine SEO for doctors and surgeons, AEO (showing up in AI search tools like ChatGPT and Google's AI answers) and Google Ads into one strategy that drives qualified enquiries.

What's included:

SEO strategy and execution

AEO strategy and implementation

Google Ads management

Monthly performance reporting

Build authority with patients and referrers alike. We develop and manage a cohesive social strategy, with organic content and paid campaigns working together to position your practice as the trusted choice in your specialty.

Quarterly strategy reviews

Clear, accountable reporting every month

Process Image

Most agencies start with tactics. We start with strategy.

Sustainable growth for specialist practices doesn't come from guesswork. Every partnership follows the same four-phase process, because the right foundation changes everything that comes after it.

Process Client

"It finally feels like we have a marketing partner that truly gets us." — Darren, Owner

Step 1

Diagnose

We start by understanding your practice properly: growth targets, priority procedures and services, referral patterns, current marketing performance, compliance considerations and where the real gaps are.

Audit of existing marketing activity and spend

Competitor and market positioning review

Clear brief on growth objectives and priority services

Step 2

Strategise

We build a clear, integrated strategy across your channels. Every decision is tied to a defined outcome, not a trend, a template or what worked for a different business in a different niche.

Channel strategy across SEO, paid media, and social

Defined KPIs and performance benchmarks

Compliance review of all planned content and campaigns

Step 3

Execute

We take full ownership of implementation. From campaign builds and patient education content to technical SEO and ad management, everything runs under one accountable strategy, so you and your team can stay focused on patient care.

Full campaign and content build across selected channels

Compliant creative and copy across every touchpoint

Regular communication, no radio silence, no surprises

Step 4

Optimise

Performance is reviewed monthly against defined metrics. What's working gets scaled. What isn't gets refined. You get clear, plain-language reporting so you always know what's happening, why, and what comes next.

Monthly performance reporting in plain language

Ongoing campaign and content optimisation

Quarterly strategy review as your business evolves

Our Mission

Good medical marketing shouldn't feel unpredictable.

With the right structure in place, it becomes something you can measure, manage and rely on.

Good medical marketing shouldn't feel unpredictable.

With the right structure in place, it becomes something you can measure, manage and rely on.

Our mission is straightforward. We partner with a small number of specialist and private practices and take full ownership of their marketing, so they can stop thinking about it and start seeing real, measurable results from it.

We don't believe in fragmented services or short-term campaigns. We build a strong foundation across multiple channels and optimise it consistently over time. For a specialist practice, that means a reputation that holds up online, referrers who feel confident sending patients your way, and steady demand for the work you want to do more of.

Every practice we work with is personally overseen by Lauren and our strategy team, not handed off to a junior account manager after onboarding. That's the Thea Media difference.

Our difference

We work differently, and for a very specific reason.

Most agencies take on as many clients as they can handle. We take on as few as we need to do genuinely great work. That's not a pitch, it's how we operate. Your practice gets real strategic attention, not a templated approach and a monthly report you can barely read.

We work exclusively in health, wellness and aesthetics, so we understand the regulatory environment specialists work in. We know AHPRA's advertising guidelines, including the stricter rules for cosmetic procedures, why some claims can't be made, and how to get strong results within those boundaries, not despite them.

I won't lie — we're not for everyone. But for the right business, the difference is significant.

— Lauren Fraser, Founder & Head of Strategy
