The New Pharma Marketing

Understanding the New Complexity in Pharmaceutical MarketingThe traditional marketing pathways to health care providers and consumers are radically changing with the growth of digital technology and internet-based communications. The evolving approach for pharmaceutical marketing integrates existing channels such as websites and email with social media, texting and mobile apps. And as the consumer assumes a stronger partner role in researching and choosing treatments, so does the complexity grow in assuring trusted information is shared with the right people at the right time.

“Big pharma needs to learn to stay ahead of the marketing curve — to innovate targeted products for specific populations and to focus its marketing on those populations.” Steve Brozak, Forbes.com



Challenges Abound

Challenges abound for pharma marketers in this new environment.

So how do you win in this new world of pharma marketing, and how do you add value to your relationships without increasing complexity?

At the consumer level, there are challenges with social media navigation, taking advantage of targeted behavioral web activities, and employing consistent opt language across the organization.

At the HCP level, valuable face-to-face time with doctors has become increasingly scarce, and there’s a growing requirement to better integrate marketing-directed communications with field sales to increase value and relevancy.

Scalability has become increasingly important as rare diseases and targeted therapies are a new product focus. Marketing systems must be able to accommodate small and large patient and provider populations as well as support simple and sophisticated marketing campaigns.

Integration of Customer

Interactions Is the Key

Effectively engaging new and existing channels and executing across them has become a critical strategy for pharma marketing success. Driving this strategy is the need to integrate all customer interactions in a single database that allows marketers to communicate across channels with the right message at the right time via the right channel. New data sources, targeted digital media and browser activities in combination with promotional activities provide powerful information for optimizing promotions.

It all adds up to a clear path for pharma marketers to build stronger ties with consumers and providers.




Is Your Marketing System Ready?

A multi-channel approach must feature a centralized integrated database that provides a 360° view on interactions, a user-friendly campaign management tool with the power to create and drive deep customer dialogues and enable analysis across brands and markets.

Today’s consumers and providers use a variety of different channels to get information. An effective marketing platform must allow customer actions or requests in one channel to reshape the communications and customer experience in all other channels.

Important features should include the ability to drive faster decision-making and adapt messaging on the fly, as well as leverage streaming data and real-time analytics.

Is our current technology platform built to support a true multi-channel marketing approach?

Can we unify the customer’s experience through integrated capabilities?

Is our platform providing the insights we need?



Integration of contextual data sources such as social listening and geo-location are a growing, novel component of today’s segmentation marketing. But marketing platforms also must be robust and smart enough to only maintain and manage the right data, not all data.

A truly integrated marketing system allows sales to have a clear view of marketing tactics. Information should be easily shared between sales and marketing to improve the relevancy and value you bring to health care providers.

Is Your Marketing System Ready?

If you answered “no” or “not sure” to one or more of these questions, it’s likely that your marketing isn’t built to work effectively within the digitally driven pharma marketplace.

It may be time for an upgrade.

Can we take advantage of new data sources and still handle the burdens of expanded data management?

Are our marketing and sales efforts closely aligned for a closer working relationship?
