Where We Focus

Built for health, wellness, and hospitality

We specialize in brands where people need to trust you before they reach out, and where generic marketing simply doesn't work.

Medical and Specialty Clinics

We've partnered with endocrinologists, neurologists, and pediatric specialists. We understand the client journey, the trust barriers, and how to communicate complex care in a way that fills your calendar.

Wellness and Integrative Health

Wellness centers, integrative providers, and spa experiences. Your people need to understand what you do before they believe in it, so we create education-first content that earns trust early.

Hospitality and Guest Experience

Hotels, resorts, and hospitality-led brands live and die on reputation and anticipation. We craft marketing that sets expectations, builds desire, and turns first-time guests into loyal regulars.

What We Do

How we help your brand grow

Our marketing services, each designed around how your clients and guests actually research, decide, and take action.

Research & Consulting

Beyond marketing, built on psychology

Citrine's roots are in behavioral research. These services help practices and properties understand their people, strengthen their teams, and make better decisions.

Our Method

A process built around trust

Every engagement follows a clear framework grounded in behavioral research and the way people actually make decisions.

Discovery

We learn your specialty, client profile, and what makes you the right choice. Every decision that follows is grounded in your context, never a template.

Trust Strategy

We map the journey from first search to first booking and design messaging that moves people from curious to confident.

Execute

We launch campaigns, publish content, and manage every channel. You stay informed without managing the details.

Optimize

We track what works, refine what doesn't, and build on momentum month over month. Marketing compounds, and we stay to see it through.

Why Brands Choose Us

Your people think before they book. We build marketing around that.

Citrine is led by Dr. Sonja Elcic, who holds a Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, the science of how people make decisions, form trust, and take action. In health, wellness, and hospitality, that matters more than anywhere else.

People don't choose a provider or a destination on impulse. They search, read, compare, and decide slowly. Most agencies miss this entirely. We don't. Every piece of content, every ad, and every email is designed around the actual psychology of the decision.

Good to Know

Questions about working with us

What makes Citrine different?+

Most agencies treat health, wellness, and hospitality like any other industry. We don't. Our work is led by a Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, so every strategy is grounded in how people actually evaluate risk, form trust, and decide. It shows in the results.

Who do you work with?+

Health, wellness, and hospitality brands are our focus, including endocrinologists, neurologists, specialists, wellness centers, therapists, coaches, hotels, and resorts. These are where our psychology background creates the most value.

How does a Ph.D. in psychology improve marketing?+

I-O psychology is the scientific study of how people make decisions and how trust is built. We apply research-backed principles to every piece of content, ad, and email so your marketing meets people where they actually are in their decision process.

What does it cost to work with you?+

Packages are customized to your size, specialty, and goals. Social media management typically ranges from $2,000 to $10,000 per month. We recommend a free discovery call so we can give you an honest, accurate estimate.

Yes. We work with clients across the United States through virtual collaboration. Strategy, content review, and reporting all run seamlessly via video and shared tools, so location has never been a barrier.
