Case study challenge - Strategy by Mortar Creative Advertising San Francisco

The Challenge

Change the perception of Varian as a company that solely makes radiotherapy machines, to one offering a full spectrum of leading-edge oncology software, hardware and services.

Strategic Decision

Move the focus from radiotherapy and machines to the global fight against cancer.
