Health Carousel is a total talent management company with a leading portfolio of healthcare staffing and workforce solutions: Health Carousel Travel Nursing, Health Carousel International, and Health Carousel Workforce Solutions. By delivering highly qualified healthcare professionals across a range of in-demand healthcare professions, as well as strategic clinical, MSP and workforce solutions, we are working to ensure every patient in the United States of America has access to a qualified healthcare professional, when and where they are needed.

The Health Carousel’s program was a cross-functional effort across IT, product, web development, product analytics, marketing operations, and marketing and their consulting and digital agency partners. Normally, that would mean that this project would take a while to complete. However, their teams cross-functionally committed to this “quickwin”, recognizing the sizable impact it would have on the company. Their goal was to launch the new experience within 90 days (short time in tech years!) to be able to quickly impact 2023 results.

The Carl H. Lindner College of Business at the University of Cincinnati empowers business problem solvers, offering a unique combination of academic and hands-on experiences. With a focus on cooperative education and flexible pathways, Lindner prepares students for success in the business world.

The University of Cincinnati Carl H. Lindner College of Business is prepared to go big. Big 12, that is! As the Bearcats entered a new athletic conference, Lindner sought to capitalize on the larger national stage through sponsorship with UC Athletics. The in-person elements of this sponsorship activation were complemented digitally by bringing the creative and messaging to life on social media and branded digital signage on campus for home football, basketball and volleyball games. This multi-channel visibility sought to celebrate student accomplishments and pique new or renewed interest in hiring Lindner students for co-op and full-time employment.
