Massachusetts General Hospital reaches their target audience by not having one single social media page. They have several pages with each one being retrieved by its own set of specific hashtags. They believe someone looking for something specific about their organization will be able to find it quickly without much issue as opposed to some competitors that just have one large, generalized page about the services offered.
Mass General promotes their brand in this aspect in the same way, because it becomes very customer/patient oriented and specific. Whatever the need, the patient can find their answer or help that is specified directly to them through the use of this multi-paged system. They don’t have to dig through a ton of other information to get what they’re looking for, they simply type in their hashtag and one of the many Mass General pages will pull up the information they desire.
I think this is a great marketing technique. It seems like it would take a lot of people to moderate all of these pages, but it also seems worth it for the patient oriented feature to target all the specificities the patient needs.
