Are you thinking about attending BlogWell Atlanta on November 10? If so, you can get a 20 percent discount on the registration fee if you register through AVID Design!

To get the 20 percent discount, click on the button on the right and enter the code VIPAVIDDESIGN on the registration page.

As event sponsors, we are able to extend the discount to our blog readers. Coincidentally, we were asked to become a sponsor because of our involvement and active use of—you guessed it—social media!

Presented by GasPedal and the Social Media Business Council, BlogWell Atlanta will explore eight case studies on the best social media programs at large corporations.

But despite its scope, BlogWell Atlanta will surely benefit hospital and healthcare system marketers—as well as non-medical small businesses—that either are currently using social media or are considering it.

The event promises to share what big companies have learned about:

• Practical, how-to advice on creating great content
• Getting Management buy-in
• Educating employees
• Keeping lawyers and regulators happy
• Simple and ethical disclosure
• Engaging fans

If You Can’t Attend…

…you can still keep up with updates and other chatter on Twitter. Follow BlogWell Atlanta with the #blogwell hashtag.

And while you are at, if you aren’t already, now is an ideal time to start following AVID Design on Twitter!

AVID Design Announces Healthcare Social Media Workshops

Monday, August 17th, 2009

We are very proud to announce the dual-session Social Media Healthcare Workshops that we’ll be presenting here at AVID Design with Greystone.net!

blog-2009-072-sm-workshop-iiWorkshop 101 (Tuesday, September 15) will be tailored for beginners and novices, while Workshop 201 (Tuesday, October 6) will be geared for marketers that are experienced with social media.

Both sessions will explore social media’s distinctive capabilities for marketing, as well as identifying, monitoring and managing situations that all hospitals can face, including catastrophic emergencies, disease outbreaks and public relations crises, among others.

Depending on the session, topics will include varying levels of depth (ranging from introductory to advanced), including:

• Best Practices for Healthcare Social Media Content Creation and Management

• Definitions and Classifications of Social Media Websites, Applications and Platforms

• Hospital-Focused Governance and Organizational Obstacles

• Integrated Social Media Strategies for Healthcare Marketing and Public Relations

• The Evolution of Online Healthcare Marketing

• Tools and Tips for Monitoring What is Being Said About Your Hospital

The Social Media Healthcare Workshops are only $200 per session, or $300 for both sessions. Spaces are limited and expected to fill up fast, so sign-up as soon as possible!

AVID Design Mentioned in Forbes’ ‘How the Internet is Changing Healthcare’

Monday, August 3rd, 2009

It was only one quick quote from our CEO and executive director Tom Brand, who “says [social media’s] been a ‘huge buzz for in the past six months,’” but still, to be called upon by Forbes to contribute to a story on “How the Internet is Changing Healthcare” is quite an honor.

We’re in there with some pretty good company, too, including Lee Aase of the Mayo Clinic. Aase and the Mayo Clinic have been some of the most forward-thinking and early-adopting members of the healthcare and hospital marketing community, especially in regards to social media.

The timing couldn’t be better. Not only is our next newsletter feature (which you should sign-up for if you haven’t already) going to further explore how social media is changing healthcare, but we are also days from launching registration for an upcoming social media workshop that we will be presenting with Greystone.net.

Watch this space for more details about the workshop….
