BRAND GUIDELINES 2 

Why Social Matters 

We live in a  social-first world.  

Our audience gets a lot of their news, knowledge and  information from social media.  

That’s why social media gives us a powerful platform  as a brand to share our story and vision – while engaging  our audiences in a more active way.  

It’s where we can become a brand our  audiences want to be involved with.  And where we can truly connect to build  a WHX community online. 

These guidelines are designed to help you  effectively represent WHX across all social  channels. Ensuring consistency, compliance  and a positive experience for our community.

BRAND GUIDELINES 7 

Our Social Voice

Our brand voice isn’t just how we speak or write.  

It’s how we behave – whether that’s posting on LinkedIn,  commenting on Instagram, sending out emails or talking at events.  

It’s how we interact with other brands – from sponsorships and  CSR initiatives, to partnerships with other brands.  

Our voice is our personality. 

While it must sound consistent across all platforms and channels,  we must consider the different tones and mannerisms we can  exhibit across those platforms. 

SOCIAL GUIDELINES 8 

Our Social Voice  

If WHX were a person, they would be a confident specialist who is warm, inspires energy and  

action in those around them, and is easily understood by anyone around the world. 

Voice Characteristics 

Energising​ We behave and speak in a way that instills excitement about what the future holds.  Specialist We inspire confidence in our audience by interacting with them as fellow professionals.  Warm Connection is everything. We’re about bringing people together to help move global healthcare forward.  Accessible We are clear and easily understandable across cultures to unite all corners of healthcare. 

SOCIAL GUIDELINES 9 

Our Social Voice 

We need to maintain a consistent brand voice. However, the way we speak will change according  to best practice for each platform – by dialling certain voice characteristics up and down. 

Energising

We’re confident in WHX’s potential to help  redefine the future of healthcare, and we  invite others to share that vision. 

Our language should inspire and energise  our audience about what’s possible for the  future of healthcare. 

Accessible 

As an event built around bringing the  right people together, our voice should be  welcoming and approachable. 

We use clear, simple language, reserving  industry-specific terminology for when it’s  relevant to our specialist audience. 

We’re not gatekeepers to the future of  healthcare, so our tone is never elitist  or condescending.  

When we speak, we’re speaking to  peers; like-minded people who are just  as committed to exchanging knowledge,  building connections, and driving insights  to create a healthier world together.  

Instead, we invite anyone who shares our  mission and vision to join us. 

It’s also essential to remember that our  audience is truly global. Our words must  remain clear and accessible to everyone,  even after translation, ensuring our  message resonates worldwide. 

Specialist 

Our audience are experts in their fields,  so we should speak to them as peers. 

This demonstrates we have the knowledge  to engage with them on a professional level. 

By speaking clearly and confidently,  we show natural self-assurance and treat  our audience with intelligence and respect. 

Warm 

Human connection is at the heart of  everything WHX represents. We believe that  bringing the right people together is what  drives innovation in global healthcare. 

Even on a global scale, people are at the  core of what we do. Our events provide  opportunities for meaningful connections,  collaboration, and shared progress. 

We avoid unnecessary jargon, but don’t  shy away from using medical or technical  language when appropriate, ensuring our  communication is always precise and  credible. 

The way we communicate should reflect  this — warm and approachable, like peers  speaking to one another, while always  embracing the human connection that  drives our mission. 

BRAND GUIDELINES 10

Recommended Emojis Emojis to Avoid 

When used effectively, emojis capture  attention, highlight key information,  and foster interaction while balancing  professionalism and engagement. 

General Principles  

Professionalism First 

Our tone should remain professional  

yet approachable. Emojis can add  

warmth and relatability but shouldn’t  

overpower the message. 

Context-Appropriate 

Ensure emojis complement the message  

and are suitable for the context. 

Cultural Sensitivity 

Be mindful of cultural interpretations.  

Avoid emojis that could be misconstrued  

or offensive in different cultures.
