RECAP

A million thanks to our host, Sharp Healthcare, for giving us an inside look at their cutting edge approach to social media!

Sharp has an extremely active social presence, with a physical command center that centralizes their social media and PR. We learned that the center helps Sharp:

  • respond quickly to customers 365 days a year
  • identify trending topics for content development & customer engagement purposes
  • monitor competitors & understand share of voice
  • track what the media is talking about

Sharp uses social to drive business decisions by actively listening to customers. Each week, they send a VOC (voice of the customer) report to the executive team.

The company receives 2000+ mentions per month(!). They have one central team and 10 marketing teams working at the hospitals.

The social team is constantly evaluating and testing what topics resonate, performance of content and tweaking. Their focus is on a few social channels rather than spreading too thin.

Thanks also once again to Sage Bleu Catering for the tasty provisions!
