The good and the bad for brands…

• More data to make decisions

• New ways to reach and engage

customers

• Increased targeting and

advertising efficiencies

• Potential for increased ROI and

patient outcomes

• Too much data – where do we start?

• My customers are everywhere – how do

I reach them?

• More decisions, more competing

priorities

• Am I even allowed to do that?

• Google why did you change your

algorithm again? WHY?

Account touchpoints that last beyond in-person discussions – moving beyond the dossier with interactive tools & leave behinds

Pharmas should provide visual and immersive interactive resources, such as interactive online tools and apps

that let them play with data inputs on budget impact models, to further engagement beyond account manager

meetings. A number of pharmas employ these sorts of tools in tablet rep details, but could benefit from

extending them, given strong at-home use of digital resources for committee work (57% of hospital P&T

committee members do so weekly, and 38% of PBM P&T committee members do so daily).
