Case study
Nualtra – The Dietitian Café
The brief
Nualtra, the fastest-growing medical nutrition company in the UK and Ireland, needed an innovative way to engage their target audience of dietitians. Nualtra wanted to be seen as the most trusted provider of medical nutrition, putting patients first and delivering unrivalled solutions and better value to health and care providers.
Our approach
We proposed launching a podcast, The Dietitian Café, as a way to cut through and engage with the audience in an innovative way.
Hosted by registered dietitian Harriet Smith, we created content for healthcare professionals featuring a wide variety of guests. Guests included supermarket nutritionist Dr Emma Williams, the Chief Executive and Chairman of the British Dietetic Association, Andy Burman and Caroline Bovey. Two episodes a month are released, one as an interview episode and the other a big dietetic debate.
We developed the strategy behind the content, refreshing it every six months to keep the content fresh and engaging. We also build the timeline, topics of conversation, source the guests, as well as recording and editing the content and uploading to the broadcast platform.
Following the success of the Dietitian Café, we launched a sister podcast, the Dietitian Café #RD2b. This podcast was targeted towards student dietitians and will be hosted by a different student dietitian each year.
We supported this launch with content for Nualtra’s social media channels and sourced student hosts. Together with Nualtra, we shortlisted candidates and interviewed the potential hosts. We also work with the student hosts to develop the strategy for this podcast, complete with episode outlines, titles and guests, and provide training and onboarding for the student host.
