Turning Compassion
Into Clear
Communication
How Black Maverick Consulting helped Symponia Hospice strengthen its brand, referral marketing, digital presence, and community outreach across Metro Atlanta, Georgia.
Strong care model.
Stronger marketing foundation.
Symponia Hospice came to Black Maverick Consulting with something most organizations work years to build: a genuine mission, a compassionate care model, and meaningful differentiators that families and referral partners genuinely value. Veteran-focused services. Music therapy. Pet therapy. Fast admissions. A brand centered around one powerful idea: We are Compassion.
The challenge was not a lack of value. The challenge was communication, consistency, visibility, and execution. Symponia's marketing needed more structure, more clarity, and a more connected approach across every channel it used to reach families, referral partners, and the community. Black Maverick Consulting helped build that foundation.
A hospice provider
built around compassion.
Symponia Hospice is a Georgia-based hospice and palliative care provider serving families across the Metro Atlanta area. Their message is rooted in compassion, dignity, and service. Their brand centers around one powerful idea:
We are Compassion.
Symponia provides care for individuals and families navigating advanced illness, end-of-life support, grief, and major care transitions. Their services include hospice care, palliative care, veteran-centered support, music therapy, pet therapy, bereavement support, and fast admissions support for families and referral sources who need help quickly.
Great care deserves
great communication.
Symponia had the care model, experience, and service quality needed to compete and lead in the local hospice market. What needed more structure was how that care was communicated to the people and organizations who needed to hear it.
Inconsistent Visual Brand
Symponia's logo, colors, typography, and collateral needed to feel unified across print materials, social graphics, website assets, business cards, flyers, rack cards, and community outreach materials.
Weak Referral-Facing Materials
Hospice referrals come from doctors offices, ALFs, senior living communities, rehab centers, hospitals, case managers, and social workers. Symponia needed polished materials that quickly communicate credibility and services to those audiences.
Website Gaps for New Initiatives
As Symponia developed its virtual bereavement support group, the website needed updates that could explain the offering, collect registrations, and provide clear follow-up communication pathways.
No Structured Campaign System
Symponia needed a targeted plan for social media, email outreach, fax campaigns, referral partner communication, and local community visibility that worked together as a connected system.
Missed Website Lead Engagement
Website visitors often need quick answers about care, eligibility, admissions, grief support, and next steps. Symponia needed chatbot guidance that could help answer questions while keeping the tone sensitive and human.
Marketing That Missed the Emotional Weight
Hospice marketing cannot feel generic, cold, overly corporate, or too aggressive. Every asset needed to balance professionalism with the compassion that defines Symponia's mission and care model.
Symponia Hospice already had the heart of the brand. Black Maverick Consulting helped shape the message, visuals, and marketing systems needed to communicate that compassion more clearly.
Black Maverick ConsultingA connected system,
not isolated pieces.
Instead of creating isolated graphics or one-time flyers, the strategy focused on building a connected system of marketing assets that could work together across multiple channels. The approach was built around five pillars.
Twelve areas of
focused execution.
Black Maverick Consulting worked across strategy, creative development, copywriting, campaign planning, and digital marketing support. Here is what was built.
We established a cleaner visual direction with warm imagery, soft gradients, teal accents, lavender lotus design elements, modern typography, and consistent logo placement to create a stronger foundation for every design piece moving forward.
We developed a simplified, elevated fact sheet designed to help referral partners and healthcare organizations quickly understand who Symponia is, what they offer, why they are different, how quickly they respond, and how to contact them.
We created flyer concepts highlighting Symponia's core services and differentiators, designed for both print and fax campaigns, with strong calls to action, QR code placement, and compassionate language appropriate for healthcare settings.
We developed social media graphics and captions for Facebook, Instagram, Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, and Nextdoor covering hospice education, grief support, virtual bereavement group promotion, community awareness, and referral partner messaging.
We shaped messaging for website registration language, QR code promotion, social media graphics, platform captions, confirmation email copy, and follow-up communication, positioning the group as a compassionate space for connection and reflection rather than a clinical program.
We helped develop language and structure for website updates connected to grief support, bereavement registration, and service communication, including page copy direction, registration confirmation language, and a clear user flow from social or flyer to website conversion.
We created guidance for a website chatbot designed to welcome visitors compassionately, explain hospice and palliative services, guide users toward contact forms or phone calls, support grief support questions, and maintain a warm, human tone throughout every interaction.
We supported the redesign of Symponia's business cards with clearer contact information, stronger typography, a more modern layout, better logo usage, and a reusable template that could be adapted for multiple team members.
We developed branded email header and background pattern concepts intended for email campaigns, website sections, digital flyers, internal communication, and promotional pieces, helping Symponia create more visually cohesive marketing beyond the logo alone.
We developed a seasonal content framework that connected each holiday to themes of reflection, family, memory, service, gratitude, compassion, and support, giving Symponia a more thoughtful and brand-aligned approach to seasonal marketing.
We supported the planning of a targeted fax campaign to reach referral partners within Symponia's Georgia service area, including verified business targeting across doctors offices, assisted living facilities, senior living communities, rehab centers, and healthcare providers.
We drafted internal and external emails to support communication between team members and project stakeholders, including website update requests, chatbot handoff emails, approval workflows, grief support page content requests, and social media review processes.
The engagement,
by the numbers.
From disconnected
to deeply connected.
Before the project, Symponia had strong services and a compassionate care model, but the marketing pieces were not fully connected into one cohesive system. After the work, everything moved in the same direction.

After BMC
What the work
actually changed.
The impact of this project was strategic and operational. Symponia gained a more professional presence, clearer messaging, and better tools to reach the families and referral partners who needed them most.
Updated collateral, social graphics, business card direction, patterns, and email header assets gave Symponia a more consistent and elevated look across every channel.
The messaging made it easier for families and referral partners to understand what Symponia offers, what makes them different, and how to take the next step quickly and confidently.
The bereavement support group materials created a clearer pathway from promotion to registration to follow-up communication, turning a new initiative into a working digital workflow.
The fact sheet, flyer strategy, fax campaign planning, and service-focused messaging gave Symponia stronger materials for outreach to the doctors offices, ALFs, and facilities that generate referrals.
The chatbot parameters helped Symponia begin creating a better first-touch experience for visitors seeking information, with a warm and human tone that matched the sensitivity of hospice care.
The project produced repeatable assets, messaging frameworks, and campaign structures that can be applied across future outreach efforts without starting from scratch each time.
Every service
delivered.
Black Maverick Consulting supported Symponia Hospice through a combination of strategy, creative development, copywriting, campaign planning, and digital marketing support. Here is a complete view of what was delivered.
Hospice marketing requires
more than design.
It requires emotional intelligence. Families searching for hospice care are often overwhelmed, grieving, uncertain, and afraid of making the wrong decision. Referral partners need confidence that the provider they recommend will respond quickly, communicate clearly, and care for patients with dignity.
Black Maverick Consulting helped turn disconnected marketing needs into a more unified growth and communication system. Symponia Hospice now has a stronger foundation to reach families, support referral partners, and communicate compassion with the clarity it deserves.
