Clarity Quest Marketing is one of those companies that has steadily carved out its niche over 14 years of business. Now that it's matured, the company is really hitting its stride.
"We have become one of the biggest healthcare IT marketing firms in the nation," says Christine Slocumb, president of
Clarity Quest Marketing. "We just closed two deals in the last week."
The Ann Arbor-based firm has hired three people over the last year, including project managers. It now has a staff of 20 employees and one summer intern.
Powering that hiring has been more and more word-of-mouth work from healthcare IT firms. It has signed deals across the U.S., including with the Chronic Care Management out of Cleveland and
eMedapps in Chicago. It's also doing work closer to home, handling marketing for
Mountain Pass Solutions, a University of Michigan spin-out.
Deals like that cleared the way for 2014 to become Clarity Quest Marketing’s best year ever. Slocum is optimistic her firm’s reputation will lead to a repeat of 2014 because of the steady pipeline of work it has lined up for this year.
"This year we're on track for the same as last year," Slocumb says. "I'm hoping its going to be better."
