I’m always looking at ways to give to my best relationships. And I found no better way over the past decade the profile of people and companies I most admire and share with the world what they’re working on. So you’ve thought about podcasting you should if you have questions, go to rise25.com. Today, I’m excited to introduce Tellef Lundevall. He’s the CEO and founder of ADM, which is Accelerated Digital Media. And there are firms specializing in growth marketing for the digital health industry. And Tellef does have a highlight film, YouTube, which I watched he graduated from Brown University where he played football, he pursued a career in the NFL. Later, he landed at Google where he joined the founding class of Google’s accelerated growth team and manage North America’s fastest-growing Google Ads accounts. And this led him to founding ADM and he started with $2,000 investment in a MacBook. And he’s grown it to more than 25 people offering expert support. They do SEM, paid social programmatic data analytics, and much more. And the firm has made a name for itself as one of the premier agencies supporting the DTC digital health industry, they have clients like Talkspace, 30 Madison, nOCD, Picnic Health and Nurx. And, Tellef, thanks for joining me.

Tellef Lundevall  1:16 

Yeah, thanks. Thanks for having me, you must have really dug into the archives to find that highlight film.

Jeremy Weisz  3:12 

Tell people a little bit about Accelerated Digital Media and what you do.

Tellef Lundevall  3:17 

Yeah, I think you’ve said it pretty well. I left Google and it started this firm is really a generalist growth marketing firm, we were lucky enough to get the attention of Nurx back in 2018. And that was really our first foray into digital health. Since then we’ve gone all in on that industry. We’ve built four teams, with the idea of how do we really approach patient acquisition? How do we best understand the patient journey? And how do we take the time within our partnerships to really dedicate the resources needed to understand the nuances of those individual businesses, regardless of the consistency within the digital health space. So that’s a bit of how we got to the industry that we’re working within, I firmly believe digital health is just going to become synonymous with health care, I think it’s the future, I think we’re seeing it within our portfolio and a lot of work our clients are doing, and the way that we contribute to that mission is with performance, marketing, and growth marketing services. So you listen them out, really, it’s not much more, our goal is to be the best in the industry at what we do not offer everything, but offer services with a superior level of quality. And we focus mostly in the media space. So if you can put ads behind it, put an investment behind it within digital, we were gonna bring you the best management possible the best investment allocation, really take a financial management approach to where you’re spending your money online and a very in-depth analytical approach to how to do it most tactfully and successfully.

Jeremy Weisz  4:55 

And I want to talk about what you learned at Google and brought to ADM but first, can you just, when you say digital health for someone listening, what do you think of? And visualize when you say digital health company?

Tellef Lundevall  5:08 

Yeah, so digital health actually, as a category spans a couple of different segments of the industries, there’s telemedicine, really sending prescriptions direct to the patient. There’s teletherapy, which are our therapy services direct to a patient, a lot of people became familiar with both telemedicine and teletherapy, after 2020, and really, a lot of people in the industry say it gave this segment, a decade worth of acceleration in just a couple of months. But digital health also relates to mobile health. And it also relates to wearable devices. So people that are wearing their Fitbit wearing their Apple watches that are looking for solutions, essentially to any sort of health questions or healthcare needs, from a wearable that falls within that category. And then mobile health, anything that really takes advantage of your 24/7 access to your mobile device and relates to your health, it can be an app integration from some of the companies that you mentioned, for example we worked with earlier, can be the integration through the wearable device. But really, it’s the 21st-century enhancement of healthcare via digital means.
