7. SOCIAL MEDIA BRANDING
Social media is a powerful tool for patient interaction and marketing, as well as case discussion with other experts all around the world.
A brand is more than a logo or set of colours, and it is so much more than a cover photo. A brand is how you make your patients feel, and it is built by taking a consistent approach across every interaction they have with you.
