Advance Healthcare

What Advance Healthcare does

Advance Healthcare is a New York-based B2B healthcare marketing agency and a division of Advance Local Media LLC, employing 101–250 people and serving healthcare organizations across the United States. The company provides full-service marketing solutions across four primary verticals: orthopedic practices, medical practices and clinics, senior care and home health providers, and public health agencies, with additional work for hospital systems, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and behavioral-health clients.

The company's core technology asset is AdvanceIQ, a proprietary intelligence platform that maps diagnostic and procedure data to geography to identify high-intent patient demand, then optimizes brand visibility and referral pathways across search, AI answer engines, social, and patient decision moments. Supporting capabilities include NPI (National Provider Identifier) targeting, a first-party consumer data asset combined with HCP (Healthcare Provider) targeting, and an AI-augmented content and recommendation layer. Service modules are organized around branding, patient acquisition, referrals, thought leadership, and multi-channel advertising (search, social, display, Connected TV/OTT, and digital out-of-home). Named enterprise customers include Cleveland Clinic, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Penn Medicine, Atlantic Health System, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, GSK, Genentech, Sanofi, AMGEN, and state public health departments in Alabama and Mississippi.

Advance Healthcare operates on a professional-services agency revenue model with customized, scope-based pricing and no publicly disclosed tiers. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct enterprise sales, inside sales supported by a toll-free contact center, and a B2B content-marketing engine built on annual research whitepapers and national surveys. The company is privately held under Advance Local Media LLC with no venture funding disclosed, and its growth has been funded by parent-company resources rather than external capital.
