Anna Hrach, Content Strategist at Convince & Convert, sits on the other side of the microphone for this episode of the Social Pros Podcast to discuss how her and the team built an app that has the potential to help reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Research is key to success
Never underestimate the power of research. Yes, intuition and going with your gut instinct can help you reach greater heights on social media, but research is what will help you achieve your biggest goals.
Content Strategist at Convince & Convert, Anna Hrach, leveraged the power of research to do something truly remarkable. Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, it’s become vitally important to help reduce the spread of the virus by listening to advice from medical professionals such as wearing a face mask and following social distance rules.
However, Anna and the team at Convince & Convert took it one step further by helping our client, The University of Arizona, launch an app that alerts you when it suspects you may have had potential exposure to COVID-19 from somebody who has tested positive. It’s a ground-breaking app and one that can potentially help reduce the spread of the virus and save thousands of lives. Hear all about it on this episode of Social Pros with the wonderful, Anna Hrach.
