Echo Branding

@dandunlop | @JenningsHealth

You Differentiate Yourself

Everyday in the Way Your

Hospital Presents Itself to the

Outside World


Echo Branding

Identification – Aligning our personal values with those of organizations, products, brands, etc.

Think about the brand affiliations that help you express your personal brand.


Echo Branding

The fusion of self and brand, thereby addressing one’s need for meaning and belonging.

Echo Branding

The reason why employees perform better for organizations where they share a sense of purpose and vision.

Ask yourself: What does my organization stand for?

A holistic look at recruitment marketing. Truly integrated.


Echo Branding in Recruitment

It is not about you!

You and your organization only matter in the ways you are relevant to the individuals you are recruiting or seeking to attract.

What are the needs and values of your target audience?

How do you reflect those in your marketing and brand experience?

The Good


The Good

Elizabeth Warner MDGeneral Surgery

BS in Human Development from Cornell University MD from Albany Medical College

The newest member of SVHC's general surgery team, Elizabeth Warner recently joined SVHC after completing her residency at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC.

"I chose to practice at Southwestern Vermont because I believe I can practice at the standards that I want to have in my professional career and live in a beautiful community that is the kind of place where I want to raise my family.

The physicians here make it a priority to keep up with the standards of care. And the hospital has really shown a commitment to staying at the forefront of technology. I can do advanced laparoscopic procedures that I’d be able to do in the university setting as well. There’s also a real sense of collegiality here between specialties and with nursing, which is very important to me and really has a positive impact on patient care.

The environment here is uncommonly supportive of new physicians and extremely warm and collegial. I don’t feel like I left behind anything when I left the big city. The kind of care we’re offering here could stand up against a bigger hospital anywhere."


The Less Good


The Tragic


Is This Any Way To Market a Physician? Or to Introduce a Physician to the World?

Act as if you expect referrals!

Use video.

Demonstrate a physician-friendly mindset.

Articulate your philosophy for working with referring physicians.


Fairly Ordinary Presence

Online Brand Experience: Physician Blogs

Do your physicians blog? Nurses? Allied health professionals? Administration?

What does this say to the physician visiting your website?

Are you a dinosaur?

What can a physician learn about your organization by viewing your social media presence?

LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube…


Social Media

accomplishments, speaking engagements, publications, etc.

industry publications Introductory video!
