A Fresh Visual Identity for CHG Healthcare
The Challenge: Standing Out in a Competitive Healthcare Staffing Market
CHG Healthcare is one of the nation's largest physician and healthcare staffing companies — and what they do is genuinely mission-critical. They place locum tenens doctors, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals across the country, covering shifts so that hospitals and clinics keep running when their permanent staff takes time off. Think of CHG as the backbone behind the scenes, making sure patients always have a qualified provider in the room.
But here's the problem: explaining that to the right audience—and doing it visually—is harder than it sounds.
CHG had two distinct goals heading into a new website launch. First, they needed to recruit top-tier medical talent and position themselves as the go-to partner for healthcare professionals looking to take on locum tenens work. Second, they needed a library of polished, authentic campaign imagery that could carry their brand across digital ads, trade show collateral, printed materials, and a fully refreshed website.
The Solution: A Full-Scale Photo and Video Campaign
CHG had worked with Story Directive in 2019 — and they came back. That's the kind of trust that gets built when creative work actually delivers.
This time, CHG handled talent sourcing on their end, while Story Directive took ownership of everything else: location scouting, crew booking, and full production coordination alongside CHG's in-house producer. The result was a seamless, end-to-end campaign shoot that produced a rich library of images and supporting video content — versatile assets built to work hard across every channel.
The creative direction served both campaign objectives at once. On one side, the imagery needed to speak to healthcare professionals — showing them what a career with CHG looks like, and why partnering with CHG gives them flexibility, stability, and opportunity. On the other side, the content needed to communicate CHG's value to the hospitals and healthcare systems that rely on them: a trusted, professional staffing partner ready to deliver.
Balancing two audiences in a single campaign requires sharp visual strategy. Story Directive's approach to narrative-driven photography and video meant every frame carried intention — not just aesthetics.
The Outcome: A Versatile Asset Library Built to Scale
What CHG walked away with wasn't just great-looking photos. It was a comprehensive visual library ready to deploy across:
A newly launched, visually elevated website
Digital marketing and paid advertising campaigns
Trade show displays and event collateral
Printed brochures and recruitment materials
Ongoing social and content marketing
When a single shoot can serve this many purposes, the ROI speaks for itself. That's the difference between hiring a photographer and working with a strategic content partner.
