About the Brand:

Goal:
To establish the YouTube channel of Fortis Hospital
ls Mumbai as a reliable source of all medical information and build a strong online presence.
Challenge:
Following are some of the challenges faced by a healthcare brand YouTube channel trying to reach an audience based on informational videos:
-
- The affinity of people towards healthcare-related content is substantially low.
- YouTube is primarily a search-based platform, therefore it is essential to appear on top when people are searching for you.
- YouTube is a competitive platform for all industries, including healthcare, and getting people to click on your video and stay through the entirety of it is a major challenge.
- Camera-shy doctors.
- Simplifying the difficult articulation of medical information.
- Identifying micro health life-related problems that people search for.
Campaign idea:
To reach a broader audience, a broad content category is essential. Dividing the videos into categories like – keyword targeting, engaging topics, medical procedures, patient testimonials, byte-sized informational videos (shorts), live Q&A sessions, etc., allows to target the audience from multiple directions and reach a wider subset.
It is also important to direct the doctors to speak in a language that resonates with the audience and hence keeps them engaged.
Active SEO and video optimization are required in terms of title formation and eye-catching thumbnail designs to reach the right audience and get their attention.
