Strategy and Execution

The multimedia team at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center brings online viewers inside our institution whether it be to the lab, to the clinic space and even to the kitchen. The research gathered from feedback from our audience reveals the audience is now primarily virtual.  Our viewers watch CancerSmart via webcast and Facebook Live.  Our goal is to create highly produced, educational content that viewers can learn from and engage with.  Our audience ask questions virtually in real time.  Our CancerSmart En Español and CancerSmart: In the Kitchen with MSK are two examples of how we take a topic and expand it into a program that captivates our viewers while also being informative and compelling.
