VMP O51: Dr. Cody Creelman On How To Use Live-streaming For Your Veterinary Practice Marketing

Content creation and consumption continues to change as people and technology change. Remember when people never thought that they would ever purchase something online? Remember when people used to be private and not share every detail of their lives online like they do now with social media? I think that live-streaming is that next step of content consumption and creation that people will be adopting and that is why I'm so excited to have Dr. Cody Creelman on the podcast again to talk about how to take advantage of this new way to engage with clients. Dr. Cody Creelman is a beef cattle veterinarian and practice owner of  Veterinary Agri-Health Services in Alberta, Canada. His veterinary interests include bovine pathology, large animal surgery, cow/calf and feedlot production medicine. Cody is also very passionate about veterinary mobile technology. This includes consulting on veterinary application design projects, as well as digital marketing and social media platforms. Check him out on his website, Twitter(you can see him post his live streams here), Instagram, Snapchat (creelmancody), Vine, or YouTube…… he is active on them all! How people interact with brands is pretty interesting to think about and smart marketers are always seeing where the new way to engage and attract attention are. Live streaming is a great utility(for now) that you can use in conjunction with your current social media channels to give you a greater depth of relationship and create content that is hopefully really engaging and  educating.  Dr. Creelman shares with us the basics on Meerkat and Periscope, the two most popular live-streaming apps, and gives us some best practices for using them. He also shares how he uses live-streaming for his practice as well gives examples on other uses that it could have for in practice marketing.  This episode is full of awesome advice from a vet who is actually doing it and using it, so be sure to listen to the entire episode.
