Greater Baltimore Medical Center Names Planit as New Agency of Record

BALTIMORE, April 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Greater Baltimore Medical Center (GBMC) today announced it has chosen Planit, a Baltimore-based marketing and communications agency, as its agency of record. The teams are joining forces to explore and develop new tactics, strategies and advanced technology opportunities for GBMC's integrated marketing efforts.

"We selected Planit as GBMC's agency of record after an extensive selection process that involved a number of local agencies," said Mike Hartnett, GBMC's director of marketing and research. "We were impressed with Planit's full-service and extensive marketing communications capabilities, including their experience in the digital world, and with their strong regional and national reputation."

For projects across the healthcare organization, GBMC will leverage Planit's expertise in digital strategies such as social media in addition to their expertise with traditional communication tactics. "We are looking forward to these two high-quality brands working collaboratively to position GBMC in the often-cluttered Baltimore healthcare marketplace," Hartnett said.
