Quick Answer
Growth-Scaling is a gastroenterology marketing agency engagement run on the locked sequence — $1,500 Assessment, Brand Book, Plan of Action — then the recurring engine the Plan prices (screening-conversion campaigns aimed at the eligible-but-unscheduled, among others), governed monthly by both partners. The vertical’s own rulebook is built in from the first page.
Key Takeaways
- The usual constraint in this vertical: screening-driven volume — a large share of procedures are guideline-driven screenings, so the engine’s job is converting eligible patients and referrals into scheduled scopes.
- Gastroenterology has a demand source most specialties would envy: national guidelines now recommend colorectal cancer screening starting at age 45 — a change that expanded the eligible population by millions — and public-health agencies actively promote it.
- The sequence is locked: Assessment ($1,500), Brand Book ($1,500), Plan of Action ($1,500) — the $4,500 Foundation — before any recurring program.
- What gets built: screening-conversion campaigns aimed at the eligible-but-unscheduled, a primary-care referral pipeline with easy ordering, access and prep-experience content that removes the reasons people delay, and recall systems for surveillance intervals.
- Both partners on every engagement, one number owned monthly, and the honest no if the model is not ready.
01The pattern we see in this industry
Owners arrive with money in the market and no clear picture of what it produced — and in this vertical the constraint is usually screening-driven volume — a large share of procedures are guideline-driven screenings, so the engine’s job is converting eligible patients and referrals into scheduled scopes. The sequence is the same locked one every Growth-Scaling client runs: the $1,500 Assessment reads the real numbers, the Brand Book sets the standard, and the Plan of Action names and prices the one path.
The industry-specific reality: Gastroenterology has a demand source most specialties would envy: national guidelines now recommend colorectal cancer screening starting at age 45 — a change that expanded the eligible population by millions — and public-health agencies actively promote it. The marketing problem is not creating demand; it is converting an eligible, procrastinating population and their primary-care physicians into scheduled procedures, which makes reminder systems, referral pipelines, and access the whole game.
What typically gets built after the Foundation: screening-conversion campaigns aimed at the eligible-but-unscheduled, a primary-care referral pipeline with easy ordering, access and prep-experience content that removes the reasons people delay, and recall systems for surveillance intervals — governed monthly, measured against the goal, with the arithmetic visible. The vertical playbook lives in this hub’s own cluster: the Gastroenterology Assessment, the vertical Brand Book, and the program guide.

What does gastroenterology marketing cost with Growth-Scaling?
The Foundation is $4,500 one-time: Assessment ($1,500), Brand Book ($1,500), Plan of Action ($1,500). Recurring programs are scoped by the Plan with a combined floor of $5,000 a month — the published ladder applies to every industry.
What actually moves the number for a GI practice?
Scheduled scopes from three sources: eligible patients who finally book, primary-care referrals made easy, and surveillance recalls that don’t slip. The panel tracks all three — awareness advertising that doesn’t land in one of those buckets is decoration.
Who actually works on the account?
Both founding partners on every engagement: David Mitroff, Ph.D., on strategy and Steven Lockhart on systems and measurement. No handoff to an account team.
Do you already work with businesses like ours?
The firm serves owners across industries on one method — the Brand Book makes it specific to your business, your market, and this vertical’s rules. The engagement patterns on this page come from the firm’s persona work, not named clients.
What if we’re not ready for the full engine?
Then the Plan says so, and the Foundation stands alone: a diagnosed model and a written route for $4,500, executed by you until the numbers support the engine. The honest no is part of the product.
The Bottom Line
Gastroenterology Marketing is generic marketing until it meets this vertical’s real rulebook — then it is either compliant and compounding, or expensive and brief. We fix the model first, build inside the rules, and put the arithmetic on the table. Start with the $1,500 Assessment.
