The Importance of earned media for the private practice physician

Earned media helps private practice physicians gain credibility in the minds of the consumers and patients. It is often viewed as an impartial source of credibility because it is delivered & received through a recognized third-party, such as a newspaper reporter or radio/tv reporter.

Well planned and executed earn media coverage can be a powerful tool in a physicians comprehensive marketing  program.

KVUE’s video production group used the Texas Fertility Center existing b-roll, shot by Catalyst Video Production, showing TFC’s IVF lab, microscopes, and other staff  to supplement their production visuals. This earned media was initiated and managed by Catalyst HCM, Inc’s press relations team in the Austin market.
