ABOUT HIP:

At HIP, we don’t have clients—we have partners. Everything we do is rooted in a collaborative mindset, where we grow together and succeed together. Our core values aren’t just words on a slide; they’re how we show up every day to make a difference for our partners, their teams, and their communities.

Bring Your Genius

What are you passionate about? What gets you in a flow state where work doesn’t feel like work? Everyone here has something they’re great at—a zone where they can bring energy, passion, and focus. That’s your genius. It’s not about just showing up; it’s about showing up with purpose and using your unique talents to push us all forward.

Elevate Others

Success isn’t about climbing the ladder alone. It’s about lifting others up along the way. Whether it’s mentoring a teammate, helping a partner’s team crush their goals, or just stepping in to support someone, we’re here to make sure everyone around us wins. Elevating others isn’t just a nice idea—it’s how we get better together.

Drive Value

It’s not about just checking the boxes. It’s about asking, is this actually working? Does this help our partners succeed? If something’s not driving value, we rethink it. We’re here to add real, measurable results—not fluff. And sometimes, that means going beyond the usual playbook to figure out what’s best for this partner, right now.

Own It

This is simple: take responsibility. If you’re in a role, own it. If something needs fixing, fix it. No passing the buck. We trust every person here to show up, take charge, and deliver. It’s not about perfection; it’s about stepping up and doing the work—together.

These aren’t just ideas—they’re what make us HIP. Let’s live them out every single day.

Brand Promises

At HIP, these promises guide how we serve our partners every day. They reflect what we stand for and how we ensure meaningful impact.

We Are More Than Marketing

It’s not just about running ads or generating leads. That’s just the starting point. HIP goes deeper to help partners grow their practices, strengthen their teams, and build scalable systems. Marketing is only one piece of the puzzle. The bigger picture is about transforming practices for long-term success.

We Provide a Holistic Approach

Everything in a practice is interconnected—operations, team structure, marketing, and patient experience. HIP takes a step back to look at the full picture. It’s not about quick fixes but about ensuring that every piece works together to create sustainable growth.

We Provide a White Glove Experience

HIP aims to deliver an elite level of service in every interaction. Whether it’s a call, a meeting, or a solution, partners should feel valued and supported at every step. It’s about creating an experience where partners know their success is always the priority.

We Go Beyond the Business

HIP is focused on building real relationships with partners. It’s not just about numbers or transactions—it’s about understanding their goals, challenges, and vision. When there’s trust and connection, the partnership goes beyond just business. It creates a foundation for mutual success.
