- How Can You Do It?
- It’s your site. You have responsibilities to your patients and contributors. Don’t let it be a free-for-all. Plus, this will help with the selling of the idea to administration.Talk about Boston Med (microsite, media, FB, Twitter, etc). Talk about using all the tools at your disposal – in the right ways, and not every tool at every opportunity – to get your messages out.Make people feel comfortable with what you’re doing. If you seem too cavalier, they won’t go for it. Know your internal audiences and address their particular concerns.
- Great stories; separate yourself from the pack with institutional differentiatorsFind and cultivate strong voicesMake illness, recovery and challenge come to life
- People read these stories, which gives us brand and rep, plus we get stories out of it
- Every dayReps from across departmentCan respond to news in real time…Plan for the week ahead…And look down the road in a strategic wayData helps inform content and outreach
- Have a plan in place to handle bad comments, angry customers, etc.Comments, moderation and what to do when things get ugly (cause they will!)
