Our Services
Since the beginning of our partnership in 2009, the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics has been extremely pleased with the commitment and professionalism Ruggles uses to market our annual meetings. Attendance at our meetings has grown yearly partly due to their detailed, timely, and effective marketing strategies. Their targeted campaigns directed to our various member demographics have been very successful as shown by increased meeting attendance and engagement with exhibitors. Most recently, Ruggles facilitated a video and webinar session for our Ambassador Program that produced digital media that will assist us with member recruitment and retention with the younger demographic.
