Editor's Notes
This slide represents one of the amazing things that Renown had done – the Health Nevada Project! You recognized that these types of stories needed to be shared more widely – regionally and nationally.
Suzanne, this is where you start out and introduce your move from Massachusetts to Reno. You’re the new kid on the block and you identify an immediate opportunity to promote the amazing things that this organization and its leadership are doing.
(The Bat Phone) This is where you mention picking up the phone and calling me – so our teams could work together to develop a true thought leadership content marketing program to put Renown on the map across Nevada and the US.
Dan, talk about being a fan of thought leadership strategies. here you ought to talk about two things: 1. Why a thought leadership content marketing program was ideal; and 2. What you wanted to accomplish. Why was it important for Renown to get this recognition? Why did it matter? (So its not just about ego and pride)
Cristal should cover this. I avoided making this look like it is all about getting Tony on the top physician executives list. But we can certainly mention that as a goal

Dan and Cristal share should cover this
Dan to tell Tony’s story; talka bout your first impression of Tony. nursing background; throat cancer; thought leadership positions he holds on national boards, etc.
Here Dan tells the Twitter Story. Getting Tony up-to-speed on Twitter. Dan will talk about Twitter training, the #HCLDR twitter chat, etc.
Suzanne tells the story of her team creating the CEO blog – with Jennings’ encouragement and support. This was one of the recommendations in the plan we developed together.
Just another slide to show some of the video blog posts
Dan to talk through the process of generating this content. How video is better than trying to get executives to write blog posts! How to accommodate a busy executive’s schedule. How do we film 17 blog posts in 2 hours? How does that work?
Sample blog post: The power of language
Suzanne or Dan can talk about the importance of bringing other Renown leaders into the Thought Leadership program.
