Key takeaways
- “Immediately after we started to see cities getting locked down, we’ve seen both hospital systems and our State and local governments really pick up the amount of data they were looking at coming off of social.” — Kevin Ellenwood, Accenture Interactive
- “So what we would do is go in everyday and look at what the top trending topics were, how people were reacting to national media coverage, what was being said, what was being shared, and helped the hospitals come up with appropriate communication plans to either correct misinformation or fill in maybe where some gaps were that the national media coverage missed a point or two.” — Mike Snead, Accenture Interactive
- “A whole different approach, well what about disinformation and misinformation. So we had trends come up, like, we never had guidance that said that a mask was even the right thing, they were trying to preserve PPE, and that was from the CDC. And then it changed to be okay, it’s okay to have a mask, it’s actually the recommendation.” — Chris Armstrong, Accenture Interactive
