Look ma, branding!
What we hope you will get out of this presentation today.
There is a lot of confusion over branding A lot of people simply consider adding a logo or color branding Branding is more than that its an experience. When you think of Disney, I bet you didnt think of this
You thought of their experience fun Brand is communicated through visuals and verbal messaging, and through an experience with your organization. My bet is, when you think of Disney it looks more like this.
Its the collection of everything you know and every experience youve had with Disney. childhood memories, movies, trips to DisneyWorld their brand isnt cartoons. There brand is family fun. Lets look at another brand. What about Apple?
Its the collection of everything you know about the organization. Is this what you think of when you hear Apple? Or is it more like this?
Apples computers are more expensive, MP3 players more expensive, yet Recently they briefly overtook Exxon Mobile as the most value US company. But you may be saying their products are better, thats why they can charge more. I present to you
Patent expired in 1917. The same product! Two very different prices. What is the value of perception?
Patent expired in 1917. The same product! Two very different prices. What is the value of perception?
So what we are talking about here is building a strong perception of value regarding your organization. To truly start strengthening your brand.
To positively promote your brand we need to understand what makes an effective brand. Do disney and apple validate their experience? You know it. Who doesnt want to have fun and feel progressive? Kings of consistency movies, theme parks, Disney channel you name it. Its all about fun.
When you know your unique value, creating materials becomes easy. Additionally, helps determine strategies for sourcing. More competition for your openings = better candidates Feel they belong The best kind of candidates
Huge cost savings The ones we really hate to lose Who wouldnt love that? When stuff goes down, to know the docs have your back. Everyone pulling on the rope at the same time.
So what do doctors want?
Your challenge is to show your organization in a way that matches positively with their career aspirations.
Geographic Location key, cant really change them Majority of the rest position specific the keys are the details
Do you offer research opportunities, teaching? Outpatient, Inpatient? What validates the experience When the #1 item is geography how much does outdoor activities really differentiate This can go all the way into email signatures, and conference flyers!
