Ep.17 The Changing Landscape of Marketing in Allied Health with Chris McCarroll

My guest this week is the super savvy founder of Allied Health Marketing, Chris McCarroll. Allied Health Marketing looks after allied health professionals in a marketing capacity. While Chris is the first to say that he is not a business coach but in fact a service that sits between the business and business coach developing marketing strategies and offering a range of solutions to grow the business. Chris started out in fashion marketing at the tender age of 21 and straight out of uni. He then moved to not for profit marketing with Surf Lifesaving while working with freelance clients. After deciding that freelancing was where he wanted to be he was introduced to the allied health world by working the National Board of Exercise Physiologists and so, Allied Health Marketing was born.
