Join “me” to close gaps in health equity and access

MMG’s “me” is a method powered by over 20 years of community-focused outreach to deliver clinical trial recruitment that overcomes the most critical enrollment barriers and achieves appropriate representation.

The most critical barriers to trial enrollment are transportation, financial burden, mistrust, education, and neglect.

MMG tackles each of these barriers with:

  • Travel concierge and payment services.
  • Plain language and multicultural clinical trial education materials, including videos and retention items
  • Training webinars and videos for sites
  • Direct outreach to trusted community leaders
  • Partnership for Access to Clinical Trials (PACT) program
  • Social listening and data mining to inform outreach placement

Speak with our strategists to learn how MMG’s “me” service can develop bold solutions to meet your clinical trial enrollment goals and make participation access available for all.

DCRI and MMG win Gold for Increasing Recruitment Diversity

Duke Clinical Research Institute (DCRI), in partnership with the Matthews Media Group Agency (MMG), received the MM+M Gold Award for the inclusion of diversity in clinical trial marketing. The objective of the MM+M Awards is to recognize, champion and celebrate creativity and effectiveness in healthcare marketing and communications.

An MM+M Award is valued because recognition comes from industry peers.

AI Solutions

Conversational AI replaces outdated patient engagement methods that are not effectively reaching patients.

The problem is friction

Why traditional engagement channels are not reaching patients:

  • 81% of patients do not pick up calls from unfamiliar phone numbers
  • 80% of e-mails go unopened
  • 90% of users do not open a healthcare app again after 30 days

Traditional methods have overestimated what patients will tolerate when it comes to communication channels.

Messaging dominates

Today’s preferred communication behaviors pivot around text messaging:

  • 80% of US adults use text messaging regularly
  • 97% of text messages are opened in less than 3 minutes

Language is the primary user interface

Conversational AI initiates patient engagement via text message and carries patients to IRB-compliant chat conversations that:

  • Require NO app downloads
  • Require NO usernames or passwords
  • Are mobile-first
  • Are simple and intuitive for all demographics

Tap into the power of Generative AI

Today’s innovations accelerate patient engagement by generating educational content more quickly and efficiently than ever before.

  • Create original video content 80% faster than with traditional methods
  • Reduce production costs by 75%
  • Increase viewer retention by up to 95%

About MMG

Molly Matthews founded Matthews Media Group (MMG) in 1987 after a determined search to find a clinical trial option at the National Cancer Institute.

While her perseverance paid off for her family, she discovered a gap between life-changing clinical research and the patients and physicians who could benefit from it. Molly committed herself and MMG to closing that gap, and we are proud to advance the vision of clinical research as a care option.

Today, MMG is a proud member of the world's largest healthcare communications network, Omnicom Health Group (OHG).

The clinical trials we support benefit from our access to OHG's cutting-edge communication solutions and coveted partnerships in research, analytics, and digital technologies, as well as The Omnicom Group's vast buying power. We are privileged to scale these strengths to programs of all sizes.

MMG's leadership team drives our relentless commitment to being the most trusted clinical trial patient engagement partner with patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, research sites, partners, and clients.
