Introducing Columns & Contributors On Care City
We are creating space for columnists & contributors on Care City.
Columns are for guest writers who are experts or experienced in their respective fields of interest.
The columns bring a variety of voices on board while also helping columnists [and contributors] market what they are doing.
As a columnist;
You must have been consistently writing in your area or field of interest(s) for at least six months.
You must be an active writer who should have an online library/catalog of personal works; it may be a unique website, blog, newsletter, or social media page.

Branding, Marketing & Community Building For Small and Medium Healthcare and Health-tech Companies & Start-ups
Building a company or start-up takes a lot of effort.
You have to attend to the creative aspects of things; give attention to team building; monitor your finances; make sure you are networking enough, and dedicate ample time to building your community.
That's a whole lot of work for small and medium enterprises. Many of them need help to effectively carry out these vital functions because they can't sustain the talents and expertise required to run them smoothly.

We will schedule a call with your team; if it's something we are excited about, we will analyze your start-up/business/enterprise [you will answer some straightforward questions through a simple form].
When we have evaluated and identified what you need, we will cook a plan with you [and your team] and immediately get to work.
Here is a list of the primary services we will be offering:
