Celebrating Dr. Anissa Broussard: 2025 Nifty Thrifty Award Winner
In a remarkable acknowledgment of excellence within the dental industry, Dr. Anissa Broussard, the visionary founder and CEO of Digital Floss, has been awarded the prestigious 2025 Nifty Thrifty Industry Influencer of the Year. This honor comes from the Nifty Thrifty Dentists community, a collective comprising over 60,000 dental professionals. What sets this award apart is that the winners are entirely chosen by their peers—dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, consultants, and vendors—making it a true testament to Dr. Broussard's influence and innovation.
Dr. Broussard expressed her gratitude, stating, "I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from my colleagues. I built Digital Floss so dentists could be seen as their authentic selves, allowing patients to connect more easily with them. This award validates that the heart-centered approach to marketing I advocate resonates with the dental community."
A Unique Path from Dentistry to Marketing Pioneer
With more than 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Broussard's journey into the marketing realm began when she noticed a significant gap in how dental practices were attracting new patients. Many talented dentists struggled with visibility despite their skills, resorting to discounting their services, which ultimately devalued their expertise.
Her journey took a transformative turn when she successfully garnered 50 new patients a month through social media marketing. This success led her to assist other dentists with their marketing strategies. Her determination and talent attracted the attention of Russell Brunson, a renowned authority in digital marketing. Dr. Broussard spent eight fruitful years learning from him, becoming the first dental professional to incorporate funnel marketing strategies into the dental sector. As a result, she was featured in Brunson’s bestselling book,
Expert Secrets, and became a prominent speaker at Funnel Hacking Live.
Digital Floss: Merging Heart with Strategy
Dr. Broussard's brainchild, Digital Floss, has emerged as a leader in dental marketing by uniting authentic content creation with strategic lead generation and AI optimization. The agency boasts impressive results, with approximately 80% of clients ranking within the top two spots on Google Maps organically and garnering upwards of 40,000-50,000 monthly video views. Furthermore, the company enjoys an outstanding 97% client retention rate.
"Marketing in dentistry is broken because the heart has been taken out," Dr. Broussard asserts. "At Digital Floss, we create emotional content that resonates with people. We then strategically deploy it to ensure it reaches tens of thousands, utilizing AI algorithms to ensure visibility across platforms like Google and ChatGPT. It’s a blend of heart, strategy, AI, and automation, all working in harmony."
