   Pitch. We write and send releases, arrange interviews and press meets, and follow up with reporters covering Kakkanad and with state-level desks, accepting that editors decide what runs.
4. 4

Kakkanad has grown around the Civil Station into Kochi's IT suburb, with Infopark, SmartCity Kochi and the Cochin Special Economic Zone, apartment towers along the Seaport–Airport Road and older Thrikkakara neighbourhoods. Sunrise Hospital is in Kakkanad, and around it are paediatric, gynaecology, fertility, dental, dermatology, physiotherapy and mental health practices, plus labs offering home collection. The Kochi Metro's Pink Line from JLN Stadium to Infopark, with planned stations at Kakkanad Junction and Chittethukara, is under construction, with opening dates that have moved more than once, and each station will become a search landmark once it opens. Many patients are IT and services professionals and young families, often from other districts or states, who search in English with exact queries such as 'paediatrician open Sunday Kakkanad' and read negative reviews to see how clinics replied.

We run healthcare PR by specialty, because fertility and IVF clinics and physiotherapy clinics in Kakkanad are searched for in different ways:

• Fertility and IVF clinic marketing in KakkanadProfessional couples working in the IT parks tend to research fertility treatment online in English and need early-morning or evening consultations that fit around office hours, with information kept within ART Act and PCPNDT limits.
• Physiotherapy clinic marketing in KakkanadLong hours at a desk are normal for Kakkanad's IT and back-office workforce, and neck, back and wrist pain are common reasons to look for a physiotherapist with early-morning, evening or weekend slots near Infopark or the Civil Station.
• Diagnostic centre marketing in KakkanadLarge apartment communities and office campuses make home sample collection and workplace health check-ups a regular part of a lab's business in Kakkanad.
• Eye hospital marketing in KakkanadScreen-heavy work in the IT parks makes eye strain, dry eye and spectacle or contact lens checks a regular need, and working patients look for eye clinics that take evening or weekend appointments online.
• Paediatric clinic marketing in KakkanadYoung families in the apartment towers along the Seaport–Airport Road often live far from grandparents, so after-hours and Sunday paediatric searches are common and the clinic with accurate timings gets the call.
• Mental health clinic marketing in KakkanadMany people working in Kakkanad's IT parks have moved from other districts or states and have no family doctor nearby, so a mental health practice here is often found through private English searches, where discretion, clear fees and teleconsultation options matter.

A launch or press meet can bring coverage within days, but becoming the place reporters call for expert comment usually takes several months of reliable, well-timed pitching. Crisis readiness, meaning the written plan and holding statements, is normally completed in the first month. Ongoing media relations is usually a monthly retainer, while a launch, a press meet or a single campaign can be quoted as a project. Scope depends on the number of stories and spokespeople, the languages involved and how much crisis support is included. Paid placements and advertorials, if you want them, are bought separately and always labelled as paid. See how our pricing works.

• Healthcare PR: how we work

Can you guarantee our story will appear in the newspaper?

No. Editors decide what they publish, and an agency that promises placements is usually selling paid space. What we can do is bring reporters stories that are useful, accurate and on time, which makes coverage far more likely, and tell you honestly when an idea is not news.

Is there anything newsworthy about our hospital or clinic if we are not one of the big names in Kakkanad?

Often more than you expect: a procedure verifiably done for the first time in the district, a screening camp in an area with poor access to care, a doctor's practical advice during a fever outbreak, or a programme for elderly patients living alone while their children work abroad. Local pages of Malayalam newspapers look for exactly these stories. We help you separate real news from promotion that reporters will ignore. Any 'first' or 'only' claim has to be checkable, because the NMC's October 2026 guidelines treat promotional news stories as advertising and restrict unverifiable superiority claims.

Can we hire you only for crisis communication?

Yes. A crisis-only engagement usually covers a written plan, holding statements for likely scenarios, spokesperson training and an agreed way to reach us when something happens. It works best when set up before an incident, because the first statement matters most and is hardest to write under pressure.
