Healthcare marketing professionals understand the popularity and importance of online video content. The first challenge is to create interesting and engaging video material that conveys a message, inspires action and is truly share-worthy. The further challenge is to keep the cost down.

kid camUse a hand-held “Kid Cam.” A couple of years ago, the St. Louis Children’s Hospital created this informative and sensitive behind-the-scenes look at the facility.

(Officially, it’s Catalan, but everyone speaks Spanish.) Consider this clever example—from Hospital Sant Joan de Déu—as a reminder that your video can be in more than one language. In this one, patients, staff, volunteers and Macaco sing Seguiremos (We’ll keep going).
