Evaluation of a Strategic Partnership
2019
Business Problem: Executives at a vision insurance company were seeking to provide more support for in-network eye doctors. They decided on providing eye doctors with access to lending opportunities via a partnership with a start-up vision services lender. The loans totaled over $50 million dollars and came with a .5% interest rate deduction for in-network eye doctors. Executives were interested in understanding whether the exposure to the lending program had any impact on brand image. I was given two weeks to evaluate the program.
Research: I conducted a survey of in-network eye doctors (included in the pilot) to determine if exposure to the program had any affect on brand image.
Findings: Attitudes towards the loan program were found to be positively correlated with attitudes towards the brand.
Impact: After presenting the findings to the executives, the program was launched nationwide.
