Dallas (EMWNews) August 7, 2008 — OnMessage, a full-service marketing communications firm, today announced it has launched OnMessageTHRIVE, a specialized healthcare marketing division rooted in the firm’s extensive experience in this critical industry.

The formation of OnMessageTHRIVE is the result of the firm’s proven track record of success within the healthcare sector working with clients such as AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group, The SCOOTER Store, American Heart Association, ePartners, Symbio Solutions and many other organizations.

“While companies across a vast array of industries turn to OnMessage for our innovative and results-driven marketing services, we have formed a division that spotlights the domain expertise we have amassed within the healthcare sector,” said Jim O’Gara, president and founder of OnMessage. “We want more and more companies to be aware of this experience and realize that we can help them with messaging, branding, and integrated marketing challenges they face within this highly competitive industry.”

The launch of THRIVE is the latest achievement for the rapidly-growing Dallas marketing firm. In January 2008, OnMessage announced that 2007 billings had increased by nearly 40 percent over 2006. In addition to its strong growth, in 2007 OnMessage was awarded with 2007 Davey Awards for creative excellence in developing print and collateral materials by the International Academy of Visual Arts. It was the second year in a row the firm has won these prestigious awards.

Just recently, in June of 2008, the firm received multiple Healthcare Advertising Awards, one of the oldest and most respected awards competitions in the industry. OnMessage received the Gold Healthcare Advertising Award in the Web Site/Home Page Category for designing Symbio Solutions’ Web site, as well as a silver award in the Publications/External Category for creating Oncologistics magazine for International Oncology Network (ION), a division of AmerisourceBergen Specialty Group. OnMessage also received two Merit awards–one for a vertical healthcare direct mail campaign for ePartners, and another for The Physician’s Reference Guide, a field sales tool designed for The SCOOTER Store.
