Rapid response blogging […]

When we start new content projects with healthcare clients, one of the first items we ask for is any content style guide or documentation they have for their internal or agency writers. Some organizations don’t have anything to provide. Some have a bit of writing guidance tucked into their overall brand and design guidelines. And […]

My son is 5. He likes “Sesame Street” and superheroes. He zooms around the driveway too fast on his scooter. And when he falls, he still runs to me to kiss it and make it better. Like most parents, I worry and wonder about what kind of world he’ll grow up in. And because of […]

This is the second part of our series in which we’re discussing healthcare’s digital front door — the technologies and strategies you use to engage with consumers throughout their journeys. Having a cohesive content strategy is the key for consumers to open your digital front door and engage with your organization. To recap: Part 1 […]

The digital front door — namely, the technologies and strategies you use to engage with consumers at every stage of their journeys — had started to catch on with healthcare consumers even before the COVID-19 pandemic.

But it’s a simple fact: Healthcare blogs provide significant opportunities to connect with your audience and drive conversions. If your healthcare organization […]

(Or (c) all of the above.) […]

Writing well is hard work. Writing well for digital audiences, with short attention spans and low patience, is that much harder. Harder still is writing well for a healthcare audience. Good writers who do well in other industries often struggle with healthcare. And that’s in part because of a lack of the right soft skills. […]

“I just don’t know how to talk to these Generation-Zers.” I’ve heard this sort of sentiment from many healthcare clients. It’s come up more often in the last few years, as members of Generation Z (Gen Z) are engaging more with healthcare providers in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
