Multichannel Repurposing: Google Business Profile (GBP): Condense each article into a punchy, SEO-optimized "Update" post to drive local traffic. Mailchimp Integration: Craft a monthly newsletter around the feature story to engage our existing patient base and community partners. Local Media Liaison: Assist in pitching these stories to NorthShore publications for earned media coverage. The Ideal Candidate: Location: Must be based in Lake County or the North Shore (Deerfield, Highland Park, Northbrook, etc.) for on-site presence. Experience: Proven track record in journalism or high-level health/medical writing. You must know how to interview medical professionals effectively. Marketing Savvy: Familiarity with Mailchimp and Google Business Profile (or a quick learner who understands how to adapt tone for different platforms). Discretion: A deep understanding of the sensitivity required when writing about mental health. Application Requirements A brief summary of your connection to the Deerfield/North Shore area. 2–3 writing samples that demonstrate your ability to make complex or clinical topics feel "human." Your experience (if any) with email marketing or local SEO/GBP management.
