I am Not a Patient, I Am Not a Disease: Understanding the Empowered Health Consumer
Above all else in healthcare, digital media has fully empowered and educated the consumer of services. This changes everything about health marketing…or at least it should. We start Marketing:Health with that new consumer – who she is, how she gathers and uses information, how, where and why she is seeking information on digital platforms. Once marketers get beyond merely paying lip service to “following the consumer,” how should that deeper understanding of the healthcare seeker inform branding, media planning, messaging and longer term customer relationships? And how are marketers gathering consumer intelligence and leveraging big and small data to build a 360-degree view of their customers?

Madison Avenue And Silicon Valley Meet Medicine: Digital Media Buying/Planning for Health Marketing
We’re not selling soap here. The major agency holding companies are spinning out new units to cover the health vertical because media planning and buying here is radically different from other B2C and B2B segments. People use health care media differently, come to it for different reasons. They are, most often, not moving towards a transaction. Therefore, the au courant advertising technology tools don’t necessarily apply here. The media mix is complex encompassing professional, institutional and consumer audiences. The legal and regulatory considerations are unique. To address the complexities, we bring together leading agency planners and buyers to explore the intersection of digital technology with health care marketing.

Marketing into the Obamacare Economy
The Affordable Care Act changed the game and raised the opportunity for insurance providers. Tens of millions of new customers are now in market, shifting insurance company marketing from B2B to B2C. The challenges are diverse. Not only are messaging and media planning/buying unique, but marketers have to cultivate new customer acquisition channels, vet new sources of data, and understand new class of customers. The sheer complexity of the new exchange system poses educational challenges to all and raises questions about who in this new public/private partnership is responsible for doing what in the marketplace? Our panel of insurance industry execs explores marketing in the post ACA landscape.

Slip Of The Tongue: Pitfalls and Potential in Social Media
Social media has caused an explosion in health-related information sharing, but this is one arena where “word-of-mouth” is not always a good thing. Misinformation can be dangerous to consumers, but real-time and over-zealous correctives from industry players can put companies at risk. The FDA is only beginning to offer guidance on how the pharma segment should handle social media communications, so it is unclear how regulations apply here. Yet online forums and social networks have become the go-to sources for many consumers. How are healthcare providers building policies and procedures for engaging the social media space? Who will shape this conversation – providers, regulators, consumers?

Paging Dr. Draper: The Role of Creative in Healthcare Marketing
Does healthcare marketing really need to look and sound the same? And must it be so boring? As the segment expands into ever more media, how can agencies push the boundaries to stand out? How can marketers work within the many regulations and the generally serious messaging but still find new creative hooks? Is there room in healthcare marketing for creativity, and even fun? In this discussion we explore how agencies are innovating around creative and messaging while continuing to color inside the lines of regulation and taste.

From Gadget to Lifesaver: Crafting an mHealth Strategy
With computers and sensors now in patients’ pockets, mobile technology is poised to transform modern healthcare at every level. From preventative services to device monitoring, form communications with providers to fitness, from treatment to support and training etc., the smartphone is a game changer. But first things first. How do healthcare marketers prioritize their entry into this limitless opportunity? How do marketers assess when, where, how (and how much) to go mobile … before their competition beats them to market?
