In this case study
The feed read like one long pitch.
Fort Worth ERC had signed on for ads and social, but the team was stretched thin. Social had been running almost entirely on clinical trial promotion, which made the account harder for patients to trust.
The content needed to support the ad work without making every post feel like an ask.
Give people context before asking for action.
Social fell to me while the rest of the team stayed focused on ads. I shifted the mix toward patient education and human-centered, team-led content.
That meant making the people behind the work more visible and giving useful information enough room to build confidence before a promotional message appeared.
The goal was not to hide the offer. It was to make the account feel like a helpful place to begin.
A more approachable presence with a clearer job to do.
The account became more structured and more human, building trust without losing what the ad side needed from it.
The result was a social presence that could educate, introduce the team, and support the next step instead of asking for it immediately.
The feed started with the person, not the promotion.
Patient education and team-led stories changed the order of the conversation. The account could explain, reassure, and then invite action when it made sense.
A clinical-trial-heavy feed that asked for action before it had built enough context.
An education-led, team-centered presence that built trust before the next step.
“Trust is not a softer version of conversion. It is what makes the next step feel possible.”
A social rhythm built to hold attention.
