Great marketing is storytelling, and nowhere else does storytelling garner more emotion than in healthcare. After all, we are sharing stories that provide hope, instill trust, and inspire people to take action. Stories can save lives. In all healthcare organizations, there are a myriad of stories waiting to be uncovered, but being able to find the right angle, the right data and the right channels for sharing the stories (at the right time) is essential. Just as importantly, the stories and their messages must properly reflect your brand's personality and content strategy, compliment all other communications, and align with your strategic goals. And when they do, you begin to build a "brand narrative" that impacts both internal and external audiences.
