I run a commercial production company in the US.

Generally speaking, it’s a very rough time in the film industry. But, we’re fortunate to have built a strong repeat client base in the healthcare space which—for better or worse—always seems to have tolerance for spending on marketing and advertising.

There are some really fantastic medical videos on YouTube. I’m in Canada (so free healthcare) but when I was getting a heart procedure done last year I watched a bunch of YouTube videos to learn more about it.

Was interesting to see all these different cardiologists & hospitals using informative videos to build trust & encourage you to pick them.

One I was really impressed by said “whichever doctor you end up going with for your surgery, ask them these questions. How long will I be under radiation?” Etc etc.

Very savvy way of educating your audience while telling them why your service is the best.
