Innovative Foot & Ankle: Making a New Foot & Ankle Practice Stand Tall
Innovative Foot & Ankle is a podiatric practice with a clear mission: to provide exceptional care to the Mount Dora, Lake Mary, and surrounding communities. The challenge? Taking a new practice and rebranding it in a competitive market while establishing a solid digital presence and fostering long-term relationships with patients. As the Creative Director, I worked closely with Founder and CEO Kevin Tootle to craft a strategy that would elevate the practice’s visibility and build a reputation as a trusted leader in foot and ankle care.
