March
Communications
, an award-winning technology public relations agency
with expertise in consumer tech, today announced it has been named PR
Agency of Record by two disruptive health tech companies: AbleTo, a
leading innovator of virtual behavioral healthcare services and
technology, and Laudio, a health tech software platform enabling
hospital human resources leaders and frontline nurses to engage and
support employees.

The agency’s Consumer Innovation Group (CIG) continues to experience
sustained growth and success in the consumer health and well-tech space.
CIG’s expertise in and deep understanding of the unique storytelling and
integrated communications needs of clients in this sector is
demonstrated by its string of wins in the last year. AbleTo and Laudio
join other hypergrowth brands in digital personal fitness, fertility
technology, health software and caregiver services.

“AbleTo and Laudio have incredibly unique and powerful models,” said
March Executive Vice President Jodi Petrie, who leads CIG. “AbleTo works
to identify behavioral healthcare needs and then to provide skilled
practitioners to address those needs. They’re leveraging technology to
break down barriers and make quality mental healthcare accessible to
anyone. It’s what our world needs now, and we’re delighted to partner
with them in their efforts,” Petrie said.

“Healthcare is massive, complex and messy,” said Reena Pande, Chief
Medical Officer at AbleTo. “We are at the intersection of technology and
humanity as we work to improve access to and set a standard of
high-quality behavioral healthcare. Collaborating with others and
sharing our story more broadly are essential in moving the industry
forward. We’re excited to work with March to roll up our sleeves, do the
hard work and get it done.”

For its part, Laudio is tackling a critically important issue in
healthcare: frontline nurse support, satisfaction and burnout. The
company’s technology platform delivers important insights that enable
nurse managers and other hands-on leaders to track and act on employee
performance – fostering communication, engagement, support, career
development and advancement.

“Having founded several health tech startups, we’re deeply experienced
in healthcare and hospital systems,” said CJ Floros, COO at Laudio.
“We’re confident that our newest innovation will reimagine care force
management, especially for those on the frontlines. Yet we know that
doesn’t happen if we don’t first work with a partner like March
Communications to make sure we’re telling an inspiring, relatable and
authentic brand story.”
