Leading Bangkok-based marketing agency Primal continues to make its mark on the international stage, having been shortlisted for six highly coveted Global Search Awards.

This recognition highlights Primal’s commitment to innovation, excellence, and producing tangible results for over 300 high-performing brands every single day.

What makes them different from other marketing agencies?

The Primal team is made up of obsessed innovators who excel at designing distinct digital experiences. They don’t do cookie-cutter campaigns. Everything they do is data-driven and tailor-made for each client, as displayed in the approach they took to boost international clients for a Bangkok hospital. 

The Challenge

Despite its strong local reputation, Vejthani Hospital faced difficulties expanding its digital footprint and attracting a broader international patient base. The challenge was to increase organic traffic and patient inquiries, specifically targeting the MENA and APAC regions.

The campaign delivered outstanding results:

  • 130.4% increase in search visibility within six months
  • 477% increase in organic clicks over 12 months
  • 23% increase in organic goal completions in six months
  • 839% increase in overall keyword growth on SERP within 12 months
