These are the Cleveland Clinic’s 5 Cs for sparkling social content

Today’s audiences are overwhelmed by the content they consume.

They’re constantly sifting through channels and platforms for accurate and helpful tidbits that will help them lead healthier and more rewarding lives. And on social media, it’s never been more difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff.

That’s why the role of content creators has become so crucial as organizations try to engage audiences with information that can compete with the noisy content marketplace. To create content that stands out, Amanda Todorovich recommends following the five Cs.
