YRMC HealthConnect : The New Face of YRMC ’ s Community Outreach
Cadu Medina may well be the new , friendlier face of marketing . After four years in the San Francisco office of Young & Rubicam – a global advertising agency – Medina and his family re-located to Prescott , where his wife had spent her childhood . Here , the 40-something Medina launched craf2m ( cadumedina . com ), a marketing strategy and coaching firm .
“ Becoming a marketing coach changed everything for me — in business and in every other way ,” Medina said . “ To reframe an expression , ʻItʼs not just business . Itʼs personal . ʼ ”
This was the kind of experience and passion Yavapai Regional Medical Center ( YRMC ) wanted to assist with the development of its new blog , YRMC HealthConnect ( yrmchealthconnect . org ) . The blog – recently re-designed by a multi-disciplinary team , including craf2m – has a new look and more mobile friendly features . Itʼs also connecting people throughout the community to YRMC in more significant ways .
What does a blog like YRMC HealthConnect offer that other forms of community outreach channels do not ? According to Medina , itʼs the opportunity to engage with readers through stories . “ Content marketing ,” as itʼs called , is effective because it allows organizations to develop more personal , deeper and meaningful relationships with their customers .
“ The marketing industry walked away from this for a while ,” Medina said . “ Marketers were talking at their customers rather than talking with them . Content marketing has changed this . We listen to our customers , refine our message to give customers what they want , and ultimately provide them a better product or service . What impressed me about YRMC is that their team gets this . Thatʼs why I was so excited to be part of this project .”
The YRMC content marketing strategy gives readers the opportunity to subscribe to YRMC HealthConnect and receive new content directly on their smart phones or tablets . In fact , 60 percent of blog content is viewed on mobile devices .
