Provident Partners President Shares New Media Ideas With Health Care Communicators at Annual Conference
Posted on: Monday, 16 July 2007, 15:03 CDT
Albert Maruggi, president of Provident Partners, will join the roster of communication professionals and other speakers at the Minnesota Health Strategy and Communications Network's annual summer conference July 19 and 20.
Maruggi will give a presentation titled "Storytelling Using New Media," in which he will discuss emerging trends in the use of social media like blogs, podcasts and online videos for telling stories. He will also show examples of new media uses from the health care organizations and recount interviews with people who have used some of these tactics.
Maruggi has a diverse background that includes work in corporate communications, broadcast journalism and politics at the national level. Maruggi is also the host of the highest ranked marketing podcast on iTunes, the Marketing Edge, in which he offers advice and insight on marketing, public relations and business communications.
"Health care communicators face a lot of unique challenges: regulations, dealing with difficult subject matter, very diverse audiences," Maruggi said. "At the same time, they have many opportunities to make an impact. The personal stories and the emotional elements lend themselves perfectly to using new media to tell stories effectively."
