We talk a lot about brand voice in marketing. Authenticity, personality, human connection, and so on. And then a healthcare organization publishes a blog post that reads like it was written by a committee, reviewed by four lawyers, and approved by someone who has never met a patient.
Here's what I think is actually happening. The brands investing most heavily in "human" content tend to be the ones selling things people want. Fashion, food, travel, experiences, wearable tech, etc.
The brands selling things people need, like medical care, legal protection, and pharmaceutical treatment, have somehow convinced themselves that their audience doesn't also deserve to feel seen, understood, and spoken to like an adult.
The most credible industries in the world are leaving an enormous amount of trust on the table. And trust, in 2026, is the most valuable currency in marketing.
