Los Angeles, CA – Corridor Capital, in partnership with management of SPM Marketing & Communications (“SPM” or the “Company”), announced today an investment in SPM designed to support the Company’s continued expansion and development of its specialized marketing services offerings across targeted healthcare verticals.
SPM is a La Grange, IL-based brand advisory and fully integrated marketing services platform focused on hospitals, healthcare systems and the healthcare industry. The Company’s marketing and advertising services include branding, creative services, content marketing, digital, media planning & buying and consumer insights/research.
