For the eCom 2013 edition, I had the honour to write the leaflet to give a window into what the pharmaceutical industry is going through.
Three trends in digital marketing that are making waves in the pharmaceutical industry:
- Multichannel marketing in a highly regulated environment
One of the regulators’ priorities imposes the ability to adapt communication according to the target and country. This principle, too well implemented by some laboratories, has somewhat distorted the fundamental question of the use of digital channels. The approach through the tool is no longer the right one. We will no longer speak of support to create but of the service or content that could interest the patient or the doctor and follow them where they are.
- Closed loop marketing: definition and application
A definition could be the use of tablet applications that include the medical visit and optimize the delivery of the appropriate message to the right target at the right time. This optimization of sales messages, in the form of dynamic scenarios and adaptable at any time, is called “Close Loop Marketing” or CLM.
- The rise of content marketing
The rise of content marketing focuses on creating and distributing valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain a clearly defined audience and, ultimately, to drive profitable customer action. This type of marketing is particularly suitable for the pharmaceutical industry, where the rules of engagement are complex and constantly evolving.
