Marketing Minute: The Right Way to Put the Doctor in the PR Spotlight
MARKETING MINUTE
[Marketing Minute Video Series] Healthcare Success Marketing Communications Manager Stephen Gregg, MBA, talks with CEO and Creative Director Stewart Gandolf.
Introducing a new doctor in the practice by way of a notice to the media? Medical practices, groups and hospitals love to spotlight their doctors. But they often miss the boat with a “news release” of little interest, and the information never reaches the public.
Here’s a tip to communicate your message effectively. Steve Gregg explains that you need to approach “the news” from the perspective of what the audience cares about. “Patients, consumers, target audience…they need to know ‘what’s in it for them.’”
In this Healthcare Success Marketing Minute, Steve and Stewart offer ways to bring the story to life, make it interesting reading, and highlight benefits for the community.
