The Vision

As a global pioneer in the healthcare sector, Acıbadem Healthcare Group continues to expand its international footprint, offering a comprehensive range of services from aesthetic and plastic surgery to advanced medical treatments. FL PR & Communications developed an extensive strategic communication roadmap designed to strengthen Acıbadem’s international reputation and solidify its brand identity as a global center of excellence. This initiative resulted in a large-scale media presence across 443 different platforms, reaching 121 million potential readers. By conducting exclusive media features in the world’s most prestigious outlets, we reinforced Acıbadem’s leading position in the global healthcare industry.

Strategic Playbook

To create a sustainable brand perception in the international arena, we implemented a multi-layered media strategy focused on trust and prestige rather than traditional advertising alone:

• Global Media Presence and Prestige Management: We secured strategic placements in highly respected international outlets, including CEO Weekly, NY Weekly, Metapress, The Upcoming, IB Times, and AP News. These features showcased the group’s advanced technological infrastructure, elite medical staff, and innovative patient-centric solutions to a global audience.
• Segment-Based Communication and Emotional Connectivity: To reach premium patient segments, we utilized high-profile lifestyle and fashion platforms. Through Hollywood Life, we framed aesthetic surgery as a journey of personal transformation and self-care. Additionally, our collaboration with The Good Men Project focused on men’s health, establishing a specialized communication bridge with an often-underrepresented patient demographic.
• Digital Saturation and Global Perception: By leveraging high-traffic portals such as MSN.com and Digital Journal, we ensured that Acıbadem’s narrative extended beyond medical circles into finance, lifestyle, and technology categories. This strategy positioned healthcare as a fundamental element of holistic life quality for international audiences.

Authority and Thought Leadership

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we executed global campaigns that positioned Acıbadem’s specialists as international thought leaders and scientific authorities:

Scientific Authority and Healthline

On Healthline, the world’s leading health news platform, Prof. Dr. Metin Çakmakçı (Acıbadem Health Group – Breast Surgery) was featured as an expert authority providing clinical insights on a landmark Nature study. The analysis explored the effects of ulipristal acetate on premenopausal women at high risk for breast cancer, detailing how a 12-week treatment reduced cell proliferation, luminal progenitor cells, and collagen organization affecting tissue stiffness. This placement reinforced Acıbadem’s scientific prowess and evidence-based approach before a global audience of patients and physicians.

Turning Awareness into Action Through Media Power

• Women’s Health Australia: In the feature "Beyond the Pink Ribbon," we shared Prof. Dr. Metin Çakmakçı’s vital insights on early diagnosis.
  • Expert Insight: "Breast cancer is common, but when detected early, survival rates exceed 90 percent. Every woman should view mammography not as something to fear, but as an act of self-preservation." — Prof. Dr. Metin Çakmakçı.
• United Kingdom National Campaign (Daily Express, HuffPost UK, Belfast Live, Wales Online): Led by Prof. Dr. Cihan Uras, we introduced the "three-minute self-check"—a method described as "quicker than making a cup of tea"—to millions of women across the UK. Addressing the fact that a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer every ten minutes in the UK and that self-check rates dropped to 45% in 2024, Dr. Uras delivered a powerful call to action:
  • Expert Insight: "The best thing you can do for yourself is to be familiar with your own body and notice changes quickly. A self-check takes only three minutes." — Prof. Dr. Cihan Uras.
• Practical Guidance and Education: Our strategy transformed complex medical advice into accessible, actionable steps, providing women with a guide for at-home self-checks, including visual inspections in the mirror and physical checks while standing or lying down.
