A new report from Muck Rack – What is AI Reading? – analyzed more than 1 million generative AI responses from Gemini, Perplexity, Claude and ChatGPT. The findings may surprise you. The majority of links cited by AI systems were found to come from non-paid media, with 25% coming specifically from journalistic sources. The report also shows that the importance of industry-specific niche outlets remains strong. Clearly, PR is not dead. And for those few misguided souls who may tell you that it should be reduced or eliminated… well, Sage knows you’re smarter than that.

There is content. And then there is Sage-created content. And, not all things are created equal. Our writers don’t just understand the world of health IT, they are immersed in it. That is the difference. Tom Sullivan's background: a 3x Editor-in-Chief, writer and B2B reporter spanning 2.5 decades in healthcare and enterprise IT. His experience includes HIMSS, Healthcare IT News, Health Evolution, IDG’s InfoWorld, and he even spent time inside a true health IT startup. All that paved the way for success as our Senior Director of Editorial Services – where he crafts sharp, targeted, and engaging content for our clients.

Our CEO Dan DOrazio recently spoke with Ron Southwick and Chief Healthcare Executive as to why more hospital leaders are focusing on the patient experience. Check out their insights here: https://lnkd.in/gix5PiUp

Our CEO, Dan DOrazio takes Thanksgiving very seriously. He is very thankful for family, friends and clients. And we know that he always gives thanks for solid research, strong brands, engaging content, and the opportunity to make a difference in a rapidly changing healthcare industry. But let’s be honest… what he maybe appreciates the most is digging into a plate full of stuffing. We’re not just talking soggy, day-old bread in a casserole dish. We are talking about carefully curated, well-seasoned carbs that put you into a food coma after watching some Detroit Lions football 🦁 🏈 . Now, tell us what is your fave Thanksgiving side dish? More than one? Don’t be shy. You’re among friends.

Content is common. Our writers are not. Take Carley Thornell, for example. She is a Pulitzer Prize winner and nationally published journalist whose writing has been featured in major media outlets such as USA Today, National Geographic, The Smithsonian, Business Insider, and many other places you have definitely heard of. She is the kind of writer who makes brands sound smarter, sharper, and more engaging. At Sage Growth Partners, we don’t just hire writers. We bring in exceptional storytellers to craft authentic stories that engage readers and deliver results. Learn more about the team that makes our clients shine. https://lnkd.in/gT-vtNEq
