A few years ago, content marketing was a buzzword. Today, it is the way to communicate and engage online with your audiences. The shifting healthcare landscape shows providers are less interested in the retail/detail approach to sales. Instead, they are looking to industry partners to provide high-quality content that helps them solve problems, provides them with professional education and training, or offers them best-practice consulting.

- Understand their audience
- Audit their current content
- Create a content calendar
