— Full-Service Marketing Partnership — April 2026

Your skills
are world-class.
Your marketing
should be too.

Dr. Corey is one of the busiest breast reconstructive surgeons in the country, an Allergan advisory board member, and — starting August 1 — the new owner of Summit Plastic Surgery. This is the marketing system built to match.

Andrew Lamping

A Note from Andrew

Sam, I've been thinking about this one since we got off the call.

You said something that stuck with me: "I sell pretty, and if the website doesn't look pretty, if the social media doesn't look pretty, it's not on brand." That's not a marketing observation. That's a product designer talking. And it's exactly right. The brand has to earn the trust that your hands have already built, before the patient ever walks through the door.

What you've built over the last four years, the 6,000 before-and-afters, the Allergan advisory board seat, the fellowship training under two of the top surgeons in the country, that's not just credentials to put on a bio page. That's a story that should be doing aggressive acquisition work for you every single day. Right now, it's not. The marketing infrastructure hasn't kept pace with the clinical output, and that gap is the entire reason we're talking. Here's what I see clearly: Fort Wayne has a gap. The market is filling fast with med spa operations running under the supervision of doctors who have nothing to do with aesthetics. A gastroenterologist as medical director isn't a credential. It's a liability waiting to happen. You've spent twelve years becoming one of the most qualified aesthetic surgeons in the country. The patients in this market deserve to know the difference. We're going to make sure they do.

August 1 is fixed. The brands that move with intent when the window is open are the ones that define the category. I want to be your marketing department, not a vendor sending a report at the end of the month, but your team. We build the brand, run the ads, direct the content, and help you own this launch. Let's make it count.

Current State

Exceptional credentials.
Underbuilt
marketing.

Summit Plastic Surgery is the oldest incorporated plastic surgery practice in Indiana. Dr. Corey brings world-class surgical training, an Allergan advisory board seat, and 6,000 documented before-and-afters. The clinical foundation is extraordinary. What hasn't kept pace is the marketing system — and with an August 1 launch and a market getting noisier by the month, there's no longer any reason to wait.

Indiana's oldest incorporated plastic surgery practice. Forty-plus years of brand equity in Fort Wayne. A foundation most practices spend decades trying to build.

6,000 before-and-after photos already documented. The most powerful conversion asset in aesthetic surgery already exists. It just hasn't been deployed at scale.

Allergan advisory board + elite fellowship training. Credentials at this level justify premium positioning, premium pricing, and a category-defining brand narrative.

Fort Wayne's aesthetics market is accelerating. Nurse-led and NP-staffed operations are multiplying. No dominant physician-led brand is educating patients on the difference — yet.

Zero active paid media presence. CaloAesthetics — the benchmark — is running 48 active Google and social ads right now. Every patient searching for these procedures is being captured by someone else.

The Launch Window

August 1 is not just an open date — it's a competitive positioning moment. The practices that define a market are the ones that move with intent when the window is open. The investment in brand and paid media before launch is what makes the launch land. Brands that wait for the "right time" almost always find the window has closed.

How Patients Choose Their Surgeon in 2026

The patient journey starts on Google and Instagram, not a referral pad. A patient considering a breast augmentation or facelift will see 5–8 before-and-after galleries, read 3–4 surgeon bios, and watch at least one testimonial video before requesting a consultation. If Summit isn't showing up in those moments, that consultation goes somewhere else.

The CaloAesthetics Parallel

Sam trained under Dr. Calobrace. He knows the playbook. What Calo built over 30 years — the brand architecture, the paid media infrastructure, the dual-brand ecosystem — can be compressed into a fraction of that timeline with the right system from day one. The recipe exists. The question is execution speed.

The Gaps

Four things that need to happen before August 1.

01

Build the brand identity first

Everything downstream — the ads, the content, the landing pages, the patient experience — only works if the brand is unified and intentional. Rebranding after launch is infinitely harder.

02

Paid media capturing demand that already exists

Patients in Fort Wayne are searching for these procedures today. They're booking consultations somewhere. Google, Meta, and TikTok need to be live and optimized before August 1.

03

Turn the before-and-after library into the primary sales engine

6,000 photos sitting in a folder is not a marketing strategy. That library needs to become a systematic content machine — organized, shot-for-platform, and deployed with intention.

04

One team. One strategy. No gaps.

One agency for content, another for ads, another for email — that's how practices end up with three invoices and no coherent strategy. Summit needs a single team that ties every dollar to patient acquisition.

The Approach

How we handle this.

Four integrated pillars. One team. Every piece of the system connected — so the brand you build, the ads you run, and the content you post are all telling the same story at the same time.

Brand & Creative + Paid Media Engine + Organic Content + Launch Activation
PILLAR 01

Brand & Creative Direction

The identity, voice, and visual system that makes every other piece of the machine work.

+
  • Brand strategy rooted in Sam's clinical voice — confident, specific, credentialed, never clinical-feeling
  • Visual identity system: typography, color, photography direction, logo refinement
  • Before-and-after content framework — how to shoot, caption, and deploy results for maximum conversion
  • Patient video testimonial production direction — lighting, setting, scripting prompts
  • Brand standards document applied across all touchpoints: ads, social, in-office materials, consult packets
  • Creative concepting and direction for all paid and organic assets

Sam said it himself — he sells pretty. The brand identity isn't a logo exercise. It's the standard that every patient touchpoint gets held to, from the Instagram grid to the gift bag that leaves with a new consultation. Get this right first, and everything downstream works. Get it wrong, and you're rebuilding it in six months.

PILLAR 02

Paid Media Engine

Google, Meta, and TikTok running in coordination — capturing high-intent patients at every stage of their decision.

+
  • Google Search campaigns targeting high-intent procedure queries — "breast augmentation Fort Wayne," "facelift surgeon Indiana," and adjacent terms
  • Meta (Facebook + Instagram) campaigns built around before-and-after creative and patient testimonial video
  • TikTok upper-funnel awareness — educational content, procedure explainers, patient story amplification
  • Retargeting sequences for website visitors and video viewers who haven't converted yet
  • Conversion tracking tied to actual consultation requests, not just clicks or impressions
  • AI-optimized campaign structure using Meta Advantage+ and Google Performance Max with human oversight

The competitive gap right now: CaloAesthetics is actively running 48 Google and social ads. Summit has zero. Every day without a paid media presence is a consultation that goes somewhere else. We fix this before August 1 — and we build it to scale as the practice grows.

PILLAR 03

Organic Content System

Empowering the in-house team to create great content — with the strategy, briefs, and direction to make it land.

+
  • Monthly content calendar with trending storylines, hooks, and concepts — the team executes, we direct
  • Before-and-after posting system: caption frameworks, hashtag strategy, sequencing by procedure type
  • Patient video testimonial playbook — how to ask, how to shoot, how to edit, how to deploy
  • Educational content series: procedure explainers, myth-busting, "why a plastic surgeon vs. a med spa" narrative
  • Nurse injector and esthetician content integrated into the master brand voice
  • Platform-specific approach: Instagram for trust and conversion, TikTok for reach and discovery

The in-house team is closest to the results. The model that works is giving them a system that makes great content easy to produce — not replacing the authentic voice of the practice. We provide the direction, the prompts, and the strategy. The team captures the raw material. We make it land.

PILLAR 04

Launch Activation

August 1 is a once-in-a-career brand moment. We treat it like one.

+
  • Pre-launch awareness campaign — building anticipation in Fort Wayne before the doors open
  • Launch week content plan across all platforms coordinated in a single push
  • Custom launch gift bag concept and brand touchpoint direction — the "first 150" moment
  • Email and SMS strategy for Summit's existing patient database — re-engagement for the new era
  • Local influencer and creator seeding in Fort Wayne and surrounding markets
  • Fourth of July weekend content push — prime window, high-attention audience, one week before opening

The brands that get this right use the momentum of the opening to compress years of awareness-building into weeks. Fourth of July weekend — the week before the doors open — is a natural amplifier. Every follower gained before August 1 is a warm audience on day one. We build the campaign around it.

Execution

How We Think

Data runs the system

Every creative decision, budget shift, and platform call is tied to a metric that matters to the practice. We optimize based on what the numbers say — not what feels right.

Speed is a competitive advantage

When something works, we scale it. When it doesn't, we cut it fast. In paid media, slow decisions are expensive decisions.

Social is a sales tool

Every post, every ad, every testimonial video has a specific job to do in the patient acquisition funnel. We are not filling the calendar — we are engineering conversion.

We earn the relationship

We are not asking for a long-term commitment upfront. We're asking for the chance to prove the model. Scale follows results — and results follow fast.

ROI on initial engagement

Three Rivers Dermatology is one of Fort Wayne's most established medical aesthetics practices — offering dermatology, skincare, injectables, and premium medical-grade products to a loyal patient base. Like most practices of their caliber, they had a strong clinical reputation but no systematic approach to digital marketing. Events and product launches were promoted ad-hoc. No paid media presence, no content calendar, and no clear mechanism for growing their audience or driving revenue at scale.

Cyclone became their marketing department. We built the full system from the ground up: paid social campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, an organic content strategy rooted in their product expertise and patient trust signals, email and SMS sequences built around their event calendar, and an ongoing creative engine that kept their brand presence fresh and conversion-focused. Every major practice event — product launches, seasonal promotions, patient appreciation days — was supported by a coordinated multi-channel push designed to drive attendance and revenue.

The system was built to scale — and five years later, it still does exactly that.

Year one produced a 14.7x return on investment and 8x revenue growth on promoted events, with nearly 100,000 people reached. By year five, the same system — continuously optimized — now drives $500,000+ in revenue per major event, reaches over one million people per campaign, and has built one of the most engaged email and SMS lists of any medical practice in the region. All on social. No traditional advertising. Just the right system, built right, compounding over time.

Built to grow with you.

Credentials as the Core Message

Every piece of Calo's content returns to one thing: surgical authority. Their Instagram spotlights individual surgeons by name ("Spotlight: Alex Pong, MD"), features conference appearances, masterclass hosting, and guest speaker credits. The message is consistent: these are not practitioners. These are the people who teach other practitioners. That's the positioning Sam already qualifies for — it just needs to be built into every touchpoint.

Organized by Procedure, Not by Post

Calo runs seven procedure-specific Instagram highlight reels — Motiva, Face, Body, Breast, Reviews, Conferences, Masterclasses. Every new result automatically has a home. New patients browsing the profile don't scroll — they tap directly into the procedure they're considering and see a concentrated gallery of results. It's a conversion architecture, not a feed. Summit needs the same structure built from day one.

Content That Expands the Patient Pool

Calo doesn't only post for women. "Men need treatments, too." appears as a dedicated content series alongside hair restoration, body contouring, and facial rejuvenation content for male patients. The result is a patient acquisition funnel that addresses the full demographics of the market. In Fort Wayne, that audience is largely untouched — no competitor is running content targeted at men seeking aesthetic surgery from a credentialed plastic surgeon.

The Dual-Brand Ecosystem

CaloSpa® runs as a separate Instagram account and a separate website — but it feeds directly into the surgery practice. Every injectable patient, every skincare patient, every Motiva consult is a potential surgical referral who entered through the spa door. The med spa is the top of the funnel. Summit has the same infrastructure already in place with the nurse injectors and esthetician on staff. We connect those two patient populations through content intentionally.

Gallery-First Conversion Flow

CaloAesthetics.com is built around the before-and-after gallery — not the surgeon bio, not the services list. The gallery is organized by procedure with a filtering system. A patient looking for breast augmentation results sees only those results, immediately. It removes friction from the research process and keeps the patient inside the site longer. This is the exact architecture Sam described wanting — and what the ~$15K website investment builds for Summit.

CaloPerks — The Retention Engine

A patient membership program that provides 10% off all products, services, and surgeon fees in exchange for a monthly subscription. It keeps patients financially inside the Calo ecosystem indefinitely and creates recurring revenue independent of procedure volume. Long-term, this is a model Summit can replicate — particularly for med spa patients who return for injectables and skincare on a regular cycle.

The Gap — and Why It's an Advantage for Summit

Calo's Instagram has 840 followers. Their reach isn't built on social scale — it's built on paid media, direct mail, and a brand reputation that makes every touchpoint convert. Summit can match the brand quality and the paid media posture in a market with significantly less competition. The social following gets built alongside everything else.

On Production Quality
Calo's content looks expensive because it is — high-end lighting, professional videography, editorial photography. Cyclone produces that quality in-house. The creative team that produces for our other clients brings the same production standard to Summit without adding a production vendor.
On Paid Media
48 active Google and social ads in Louisville. Fort Wayne has zero physician-led practices running anything comparable. We launch Summit's paid presence before August 1 into a market that has never seen it — which means the cost to acquire a patient is lower and the attention is uncontested.
On Content Structure
Sam's 6,000 before-and-afters give Summit a gallery advantage Calo took decades to accumulate. We organize that archive into the same procedure-specific architecture Calo uses on day one — not two years from now.
On the Surgeon Story
Calo built their authority through conference appearances, masterclasses, and surgeon spotlights. Sam trained under Calobrace. The credentialing story is already there — it just needs to be deployed the same way Calo deploys theirs: consistently, across every platform, in every ad.
August 1 is close

The practice
is ready.
Let's build
the machine.

August 1 is fixed. The market is moving. The playbook exists. The only question is whether Summit is running its own marketing system before the doors open — or catching up after.
