The challenge

The Hudson Valley's only academic medical center had a social presence operating well below its potential: reactive posting, reach skewed toward internal staff, and no content architecture to build trust. With 55% of adults turning to social media for health information, the gap was widening.

What we did

A full audit across Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, a strategic framework covering platform roles, content pillars, design guidelines and tone, a repeatable production system for briefs, calendars and copy, and monthly performance reporting with competitor benchmarking.

The consequence

Staff recognition posts were already outperforming produced content — the audience was telling us what it wanted. We built the system around that: human, knowledgeable, authoritative without being cold.

The work itself.
