Looking to find a strategy for healthcare marketing that works?
In my work with healthcare companies, developing effective positioning strategies, I often get asked several questions about how to best do this on the provider side, or the technology/solution side. Whether it’s a healthcare clinic wanting to create a direct to consumer marketing strategy or a healthcare technology company wanting to build a solid market penetration plan, a lot of the concepts I talk about apply. When you understand the concepts you are able to develop a strategy for healthcare marketing that works, regardless of whether you’re a provider or a technology startup.
In fact, I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Paul Sign from StrataPT to talk about all things healthcare marketing.
What we cover on this interview on healthcare marketing that works:
- The importance of positioning
- How content marketing drives business
- Direct to Consumer Marketing in healthcare
- Investing in your team members

- Embracing the role of expert in your marketing and content strategy
