Exclusive Report!
Building Powerful Health Care Brands
How Hospitals, Systems, and Other Entities Can Establish and Maintain Brands That Differentiate Their Organizations and Resonate with Target Audiences
Written by a seasoned health care marketing practitioner, this exclusive new report goes well beyond a discussion of names and logos to give you a real-world account of health care brand development. You’ll also get the best thinking of more than 30 noted health care executives and consultants.
You’ll learn why certain brand positions work, have the opportunity to take a quick positioning test, and get insight on winning over employees and physicians.
There’s more. Confused about what media to use in launching a branding campaign? You’ll receive full details plus recommendations on each medium. There’s also coverage of return on investment – including the details of how one system marketer has quelled her organization’s naysayers by building a bulletproof case.
You’ll find examples from organizations large and small: rehabilitation centers, psychiatric facilities, academic medical centers, children’s hospitals, and integrated systems. Plus the challenges faced by various organizations in a special case study section.
An appendix includes a glossary of terms, a list of recommended books and Web sites, and a discussion of brand architecture, including examples from other industries.
Don’t expect a treatise on classical branding, states author Susan Solomon, who points out that such books can be found everywhere. "It’s not about anything your Marketing 101 professor ever told you. It’s not about slapping a logo or billboard here and there. It’s not even business-to-consumer or business-to-business. It’s health care branding, an entirely different animal."
