Today’s post comes to us from Rudy Tambala of GLOBALHealthPR UK partner, Aurora Communications.
We are post-industrial, in the information age, living the digital life, immersed in data, the zeitgeist being grounded in human empowerment. How does this affect healthcare marketing and engagement?
Watch our video – we’ll show you how…
All of the trends, hypes and buzzwords that you are hearing have common features – they are moving us towards a people-centric approach, based upon individual needs, not the old, industrial mass approximations of needs. For business, this means placing people (not products) at the centre of everything, and this requires a holistic viewpoint.
To be truly holistic we need to get the big picture, and integrate the component parts which will include:
- Business integration – the de-siloing of brands and operational units, creating consistency and efficiencies, sharing culture, understanding and direction
- Data and reporting integration – the harmonisation and sharing of business and customer intelligence, to generate more and better actionable insights, for better services and performance
- Integration of products, services and marketing – the blurring of the lines, the art of co-created and holistic service design
Our GLOBALHealthPR office in the UK (Aurora) has an expert team that specialise in helping clients integrate their marketing communications activities. Aurora has created a free-to-use online assessment tool (IMC Index Lite) that takes about five minutes to complete and provides an individualised commentary on how integrated activities are provides with tips for improvement.
