Our Work
This online portfolio provides a small sampling of some projects for which Kelly Griffin and KGA have managed, worked on and provided content.
It’s a little trickier to have samples of social media postings, blogs (although you can read some of Kelly Griffin’s blogs here) and other online content because much of it is ghostwritten for another person or organization. Many other examples of traditional collaterals, plans, videos, and online examples of the work are available. Just ask. In the meantime, take a look at the portfolio here to begin.
Healthcare and Health-related Services
Beebe Healthcare, Lewes, DE
Beebe Medical Center went through a rebranding process in 2013 to create the look and feel of an independent, not-for-profit healthcare system. The rebranding included an updated logo, new colors, a new name, Beebe Healthcare, updated mission and vision. This ambitious process included redesigning all advertising, collaterals, the website, www.beebehealthcare.org, forms, advertising specialty items, just to name some of the projects. Kelly Griffin directed this process from beginning to end working with a brand consulting agency, project managing the design work and writing and editing along with her team.
Other major achievements include the marketing of four walk-in care centers, several outpatient services locations and new programs and services. Many campaigns were created with consistent, compelling photos and content across traditional channels and online. Some examples from an Othopaedic Services campaign are available to see here.
This health screening commercial represents another campaign that alerted healthcare consumers to the importance of health screenings.
In addition, Kelly Griffin served as Public Information Officer at Beebe handling significant crisis communication challenges for this organization. She completed National Incident Management System (NIMS) training and participated in many local and statewide drills as well as real-time emergencies. She also drafted a crisis communications policy and plan.
Beebe Orthopedic Radio Ad
Windsor-Laurelwood Center for Behavioral Medicine, Willoughby, OH
This organization (in 2005 at the beginning of the client-agency relationship, Laurelwood Hospital, becoming Windsor-Laurelwood Center for Behavioral Medicine in 2007 when Horizon Health, its parent corporation, merged with Psychiatric Solutions, Inc.), faced a significant challenge. That challenge was to totally rebrand the hospital and behavioral health system with an updated logo, new marketing collaterals including new brochures and a new website. KGA, with a design partner, Damar Communications, recreated the image of this behavioral health system.
In addition to the rebranding, KGA handled media planning and placement for print and cable television advertising, created the scripts and directed the taping of commercials, handled copywriting, feature writing, press release writing and project management.
Five brochures produced when Windsor-Laurelwood was Laurelwood Hospital:
Laurelwood Adult Services
Laurelwood Addiction Recovery Services

Laurelwood Child & Adolescent Services
Laurelwood Outpatient Services

Kelly Griffin also served as project writer/editor for The Companies That Care Honor Roll application each year from 2006 through 2009. The health system achieved Honor Roll inclusion each year.
Carrier Clinic
So many traditional publications, award winning print and radio advertising, direct mail pieces, annual reports, brochures, it is difficult to choose. KGA can provide all kinds of examples of the work. Just ask.
The hospital also created the second healthcare website in the State of New Jersey that included the usual – services and programs, medical and other professional staff bios, and an incredible number of consumer behavioral health education articles to help erase the stigma of seeking help for addiction treatment and mental illness. Always ahead of the curve, Carrier’s behavioral health communications were outstanding under the direction and management of Kelly Griffin.
