Last week, members of the Cork Tree team joined healthcare marketing professionals from across Illinois at the ISHMPR Fall Conference!

Cork Tree co-owner Laura Reed, who serves as president of ISHMPR: Illinois Society for Healthcare Marketing & PR, led the organization’s annual meeting. COO Jaci Rothe also took the stage to present “From Panic to Prepared: Mastering Crisis Communications.”

During her session, Jaci shared practical guidance for building a crisis communications plan, communicating with key audiences, and responding with confidence when the unexpected happens.

We loved connecting with fellow healthcare communicators and contributing to an event that strengthens the industry across our state!

We’re not a big agency, but that’s kind of the point.

We keep our team intentionally sized so we can stay close to the work and even closer to the people behind it. Your goals become our goals. Your challenges get our full attention. And your strategy is built around your business—not copied and pasted from someone else’s.

No getting lost in the shuffle. No half-attentive partnerships. Just smart, thoughtful work from a team that’s genuinely invested in where you’re going.

Small enough to know your name. Experienced enough to move the needle. https://corktreecreative.com/contact/

Professional services firms often grow through reputation, relationships, and referrals. But even a strong referral is likely to research your firm before reaching out. What they find online should reinforce the trust you’ve already earned.

Cork Tree helps expert-led organizations clarify complex services, share meaningful thought leadership, and build marketing strategies that support long-term business development.

Your marketing already generates data. The real question is: are you doing anything with it?

Website analytics, email performance, customer inquiries, sales conversations, and social media engagement can all reveal what your audience cares about—and where your marketing could work harder.

In our latest blog, we’re breaking down how to use data analytics in marketing to make more informed decisions without getting buried in dashboards.

Schema markup: not particularly glamorous, but increasingly important. Schema is code that gives search engines more context about your website—helping them understand details like your services, location, team, reviews, events, and frequently asked questions.

Why does that matter? Clearer context can help search engines display your information more accurately and make your content easier for AI-powered search tools to interpret.

Your website can look polished on the surface and still need a little help behind the scenes. That’s where technical SEO earns its keep.

Working with a marketing agency should make your team feel bigger—not busier.

The right partner doesn’t just add more meetings, requests, or items to your inbox. They bring structure to the work, move projects forward, spot opportunities, and give your internal team room to focus on the things only they can do.

Whether we’re serving as a full outsourced marketing department or filling specific gaps in an existing team, our goal is the same: make good marketing feel more manageable.

Because you probably already have enough on your plate. https://corktreecreative.com/contact/

Posting is part of social media management. It just isn’t the whole job.

A strong social presence requires strategy, planning, writing, design, community management, reporting, and enough flexibility to respond when something changes.

If social media keeps getting pushed to the bottom of your list, ask yourself:

Are you posting consistently?
Does your content sound and look like your brand?
Are you responding to comments, messages, and reviews?
Do you know which posts support actual business goals?
Are you planning ahead or winging it every week?

If those questions made you feel slightly called out, we should probably talk. https://corktreecreative.com/contact/
