Mayo Clinic http://sharing.mayoclinic.org/ The Mayo Clinic has one of the most customer centric campaigns in the field of healthcare marketing. The Sharing Mayo Clinic blog is a place where patients, their loved ones, and the Mayo Clinic staff can come together and share their stories. No content is more relevant than the content that is produced by the users themselves. Before even coming in contact with the blog, users need know about the blog in the first place, right? No problem for the Mayo Clinic. With a strong social media following, the clinic is a shining example of how to correctly interact with their market. The numbers tell all: 1.2 million Twitter followers 700,000 likes on Facebook
