Digital Strategy
in the New Normal

Once we cross over into the times where digital is
the New Normal, the way we interact with our
customers will change completely. The worst
mistake you could make is to take your existing
analog interaction patterns with customers and
transfer them to the web. Don‟t transfer, but
re-think. It‟s all about intelligence. It‟s all about the
contact, it‟s all about “you”.

As the master of marketing, Philip Kotler, once
said: “Marketing takes a day to learn. Unfortunately
it takes a lifetime to master.”
You‟ve got a couple years, max.

Peter Hinssen
Managing Partner, Across Health

New Normal”, click to neonormal.com.

Search engine marketing:
US vs Europe

Search engine advertising (SEA) is a key
component of the marketing mix in the United
States, also in life sciences. In Europe, this
high-impact tactic is used much less often...
It has been in the lower half of key tactics for
3 years in a row and surprisingly seems to
drop even further this year... High time for
marketers and their digital consultancy or
agency to explore this option more fully... if
you build it, they will NOT come!

eRep and eMSL
in the mix

More and more often, HCPs don‟t have
enough time for a decent visit by a sales rep
or medical advisor. This endangers the main
channel through which life sciences
companies currently communicate with their
customers.

Through the internet, an innovative and
convenient alternative way emerges for reps
and MSLs to connect with their doctors. A
webcall is not only more flexible: the overall
attention span and thus message recall is
also higher.

• Introducing digital is still very challenging

quickly moving up, while also lack of internal

Setting up the
digital organization

There are no silver bullets in adjusting an
organization to the digital age. It requires the
right knowledge and the right mindset. It
needs setting up new business and
technology processes. A good integration of
channels in marketing/sales activities is
essential, and only a correct measurement of
the results enables us to generate valuable
learning insights.

Think long term, act short term!

Barriers to
digital adoption

Digital adoption is an organization-wide
process. Not only marketing and sales are
changing the way they operate, but also
regulatory and legal have to adapt.

Defining a well-rounded and comprehensive
digital strategy linked to the business
objectives, as well as building the right
competences and setting up specific
processes are essential steps towards moving
to the “New Normal”, and being clever with
digital (v.s. just “being there”).

KPI measurement
and analytics

Most often the metrics used for digital projects
stay very standard: views, clicks, average
time on a page, .. These are some perfect
metrics for improving a website, but don‟t
necessarily reflect its success.

One needs to go back to the business goals
of the project to establish the right KPIs and
then look for a way to (approximately)
measure this.

Executive summary

• Digital budgets continue to be low vs total marketing

• Digital budgets will continue to increase, but the
absolute growth will remain limited due to the low

• Digital budgets will be released by shifting budget away
from traditional channels: advertising, direct mail and

Life sciences
spending on digital
Life science companies are spending about 8% of their overall
marketing budget on digital activities, and intend to increase
this by less than 20% in 2012 – bringing the total to less than
10%. More importantly, the marketing budgets are quite small
vs the sales budget (30% vs 70%, on average). Hence, digital
budgets are less than 2.5% of the total sales & marketing
budget...

In other industries, 15 tot 20% of total marketing budgets are
the rule rather than the exception...and the marketing budgets
there represent a much higher % of the total sales & marketing
spend.

Clearly this spend trend does not reflect the interest in and
value of these channels for physicians and consumers...we
expect to see more disruptive spend trends in digital going
forward with companies that NEED to change as well as
innovator companies that WANT to change.

Marketing mix
assessment
Albeit slowly, companies are shifting budgets away
from traditional channels to digital.
The key question then becomes: which channels
can I safely reduce and to which new channels
should I allocate those budgets? And how much
should I invest in each channel to ensure I have at
least the same impact as before at a lower cost?

In times of change, it is very tricky to rely on
experience or “gut feeling”, as this may lead to the
wrong investments or, possibly even worse,
underinvestment.

A marketing mix assessment is an objective and
powerful basis for making these crucial decisions,
as many of our clients have already realized.

Social media
strategy
Many pharma companies have experimented with
social media, but most efforts are still piecemeal and
opportunistic. As a result, the true value of social
media has not been tapped yet, witness the “medium
investment/medium growth” category it is in.

Using social media is not a strategy in itself. Which
social media to use? How to interact? Where does
the use of social media serve brand value? Does it
make sense altogether to use social media for
these goals and target group in view of the
buying process priorities?

With the internet becoming social it is important
not to blindly fall for this „shiny object‟, but to
challenge our thinking and use it for the better.

Mobile
strategy
In February of last year Google revealed its new
strategy: mobile first. Why? Because mobile
internet will overtake desktop internet usage by
2013.

Indeed, smartphones and tablets are finding their
ways at an incredible pace to HCPs, patients and
sales reps. Mobile websites, smartphone apps,
different platforms, location-based opportunities,
real-time connectivity between stakeholders..

Our 2011 digital survey reveals the same trend:
you are seeing high growth in mobile for the
future...but what is your mobile strategy and how
are you going to take advantage of the mobile
opportunity?

Patient awareness
& adherence
The key target groups for digital in our 2011 survey confirm
that pharma still sees the internet very much as an online
extension of the offline world: offline, we focus on
specialists, so we should do the same online...

I agree that some of our digital budget should be spent on
specialists (“incremental innovation”), but I would argue
that we are leaving huge transformational opportunities
on the table, particularly with regard to massively
“underserved” audiences, including GPs (significant
salesforce reduction), pharmacists and... patients.

Indeed, thanks to the ubiquity of the (social) internet &
mobile, a myriad of channels is available to
communicate with patients along the buying process –
from awareness through to patient adherence...

So, what is your patient strategy for digital?

Executive summary
• CRM integration is poor
• Still, CRM is considered a strategic asset by the
majority of the respondents
• And even more respondents consider their
organization to be customer-centric, despite the
poor CRM integration
• There are companies all along the spectrum with "We've spent the last
regard to the size of email databases, but overall 30 years focusing on
the score is low the T in IT, and we'll
spend the next 30
years focusing on
the I.“

EMEA 2011
At Across Health, we firmly believe that digital is just part
of the solution... true impact can only be generated by
“fusion marketing”, i.e. integrating online & offline. Indeed,
if done well, 1+1 should equal more than 2.

Digital campaigns are often standalone initiatives. Still
they could be so much more powerful when linked to
customer profiles, integrated multichannel approaches,...
Think about it when you launch your next campaign!

To achieve this, a customer-focused strategy should be
put in place, supported by an agile and high-performing
CRM platform, with clear business KPIs... CRM is the key
to orchestrating touch points throughout a range of
channels in a customer-centric way.

Let‟s see what the state of the industry is
in the next few slides...

Final thoughts


So will 2011 be a
grand cru for “fusion”?
Clearly, digital is increasingly being seen as a key
component of the future business model... Although low,
budgets are increasing and companies want to enhance
their knowledge around digital.

The key hurdles remain the same however:
regulatory/legal concerns and lack of a digital strategy...

So, will 2011 be the digital “turning point”? Will you boost
your online budget beyond the symbolic level? Will you
spend it on the right digital channels based on a
marketing mix assessment and integration with your
marketing strategy? Will you integrate digital with offline?
And will you go for the right mix of implementation of best
practices, improvement of existing initiatives and true
innovation?

I wish you every success on this exciting journey!!
