By Stewart Gandolf, Chief Executive Officer

Can healthcare organizations leverage influencer marketing to authentically connect with high-value patients and referring doctors, while staying compliant and brand safe?  

Find out in our latest podcast featuring Danielle Wiley, CEO of Sway Group, a leading influencer marketing agency. 

Together, we explore how this evolving strategy can and should be integrated into your broader marketing efforts and emphasize the crucial role of authenticity in building trust and fostering connections with your target audience.

  • Learn about the evolving role of influencer marketing—from primarily long-form written blog content to video-focused platforms like TikTok—and why it should be integrated into your broader healthcare marketing strategy, rather than just serving as a direct sales tool or a means to enhance SEO.
  • Discover why authenticity in influencer marketing is so important, especially in healthcare, where genuine connections build emotional ties, trust, and engagement with high-value potential patients.

"Getting into influencer marketing in healthcare might seem risky, but it doesn’t have to be. After 13 years of running my agency and nearly 20 years in this space, I’ve learned that we can take steps to minimize those risks. Honestly, with the right approach, it can be just as safe and effective as running a TV ad.”
