Into the Unknown:
The Ethics of Story-Based Marketing

Annie Frisbie, MA, IBCLC
Course description
Many current marketing practices are inappropriate for private lactation practice because they may prevent you from your duties to:

  • Present information without bias
  • Ensure that commercial considerations do not influence professional judgment
  • Behave honestly and fairly as a health professional
  • Provide only accurate information to the public and colleagues concerning lactation consultant services offered

Learners say 

It was lovely having my own unexpressed thoughts about fear based marketing brought to a conscious and clearly expressed level. Annie gave me words to describe that awful feeling of being manipulated by marketing. I am grateful for her shining a light on the potential of marketing in an ethical fashion. She altered my association of marketing with manipulation, showing that it is possible to market to clients in a manner that is empowering for everyone.

It takes a lot of time and trial and error to unlearn what we think marketing should be. Annie’s courses help us grow and learn and become better people, per usual! She has insightful guidance and gives great examples to help understand ethics of marketing!

Knowledge Gap
Too many entities such as Fed is Best use fear-based marketing to manipulate their audience to a desired action. This is not in the best interests of our clients or in breastfeeding/chestfeeding advocacy. There is a fine line between marketing and gaslighting when it comes to healthcare, and it’s important to use to stay far away from that line.
