High-Level Key FindingsHigh-Level Key Recommendations
Global
Branding Process
Should Mirror
Company’s DNA
• Therapeutic areas, global presence, regional/country revenue drivers, corporate
culture and long-term strategic plan; these are the core building blocks of a
company, and by extension its global branding process should reflect these traits.
• Study participants’ global branding programs use both formal & informal
approaches; branding veterans spoke of a process that excels at alignment and
execution – one that offers a firm structure and yet has flexibility for affiliates.
Align Branding
Process with
Affiliates Needs,
Especially US
• Engage affiliates early by conducting formal review cycles and involving them in
brand element testing; make sure affiliate representative will be actively involved
in local launch. Use internal promotional review process to ensure alignment.
• To ensure alignment across largest market - specifically US market – let US
team take lead on market research and some critical branding elements.
Begin Work on
Positioning
Before Phase III
Final Data
• Positioning can be started as early as Phase II - use iterations to build and
improve positioning concept as Phase III data sharpens positioning picture.
• Early positioning work also helps create early alignment between global and
local on key branding elements and build foundation for global/local launch.
Start Branding
Process Early to
Ensure Smooth
Launch
• Most global branding activities are started in Phase III before final data.
• Key is to start soon enough that global and affiliates can create an alignment
that works for both on critical elements like positioning and messaging.
• Early start also may ensure a smooth global launch characterized by alignment
and execution.

Timing of Global Branding Activities: Start Activities- All Participants
Across participants, almost all branding activities start during Phase III – either before final data or before
NDA filing. Competitive intelligence is the only activity often started earlier. Companies start handover to
affiliates in batches, starting at NDA filing.
Most Global Branding Activities Start Phase III Before Final Data;
Positioning and Message Development are Key Exceptions

Other, 35%
20) Are your new product brand elements (global positioning, messages, brand personality, etc.) handed over to local
affiliate(s) individually or are they wrapped up into a package and all sent over at once?
N=17
Delivery Format of Global Brand Elements to Affiliates:
While almost half of participating companies deliver branding elements as a package to local affiliates, it
is very common for key elements such as positioning and messages to be shared earlier.
Global Brand Elements Often Delivered as Package to Affiliates
*Others:
• It has not been done in
last 5 years. Current plan
for new pending launch is
to hand over as a
package
• Work together vs hand off
• No affiliates
• Not Applicable(2)
• Both of the
above...important
elements shared when
they are ready, but also
as a package
*
“Some of the stuff that’s
part of the overall brand
strategy…like positioning
[and messaging], once we
nail that down we would
deliver out to the regions
and the countries. Things
that are more part of the
package but aren’t of such
supreme importance we
would probably just wait
until the full package is
ready.”

Early and continuous involvement, allocating global representatives for local activities, establishing sub-
committees and using a centralized review processes are some of the tactics that companies use to make
certain brand teams’ adherence throughout the global branding process.
Early Buy-in, Regular Involvement & Designated Leaders Ensure Adherence

“I think if you’re dealing in the specialty space I think the best approach in developing
a global brand plan is – I mean in a majority of examples that I know of, let the US take
the lead.”
-- Senior Associate Director of Analytics
Narrative: Let the U.S. Lead in Global Branding Process
Q: It sounds like your global works really well with affiliates and yet you mentioned some of
these issues of running up against the deadlines and the US being so different.
“This is a European- based company, but
they like to have a level of control. In the
US market where the timelines are very
compressed - and really if this
represents like a critical first step in a
successful global launch - I think it’s
important to let the local markets that are
large take the lead on a lot of the sort of
global branding initiatives. So, it’s
definitely kind of relinquishing some
control from a corporate headquarter
standpoint, but I think it’s very important
if you want to have a very successful
launch in the US and then potentially rest
of the world.”
-- Senior Associate Director of Analytics

Similar to This participant highlights that for specialty products, it is often best to let the US market team take the lead on global branding activities like market research and critical branding elements. The rationale given is that the US market timelines are very compressed compared to other regions. By empowering the large US affiliate early on, it helps ensure their needs and deadlines are met which ultimately leads to better global-local alignment. This approach recognizes the outsized influence of the US market for many specialty products

This participant highlights that for specialty products, it is often best to let the US market team take the lead on global branding activities like market research and critical branding elements. The rationale given is that the US market timelines are very compressed compared to other regions. By empowering the large US affiliate early on, it helps ensure their needs and deadlines are met which ultimately leads to better global-local alignment. This approach recognizes the outsized influence of the US market for many specialty products

  • 5. Page | 5 High-Level Key FindingsHigh-Level Key Recommendations Global Branding Process Should Mirror Company’s DNA • Therapeutic areas, global presence, regional/country revenue drivers, corporate culture and long-term strategic plan; these are the core building blocks of a company, and by extension its global branding process should reflect these traits. • Study participants’ global branding programs use both formal & informal approaches; branding veterans spoke of a process that excels at alignment and execution – one that offers a firm structure and yet has flexibility for affiliates. Align Branding Process with Affiliates Needs, Especially US • Engage affiliates early by conducting formal review cycles and involving them in brand element testing; make sure affiliate representative will be actively involved in local launch. Use internal promotional review process to ensure alignment. • To ensure alignment across largest market - specifically US market – let US team take lead on market research and some critical branding elements. Begin Work on Positioning Before Phase III Final Data • Positioning can be started as early as Phase II - use iterations to build and improve positioning concept as Phase III data sharpens positioning picture. • Early positioning work also helps create early alignment between global and local on key branding elements and build foundation for global/local launch. Start Branding Process Early to Ensure Smooth Launch • Most global branding activities are started in Phase III before final data. • Key is to start soon enough that global and affiliates can create an alignment that works for both on critical elements like positioning and messaging. • Early start also may ensure a smooth global launch characterized by alignment and execution.

N=17 Delivery Format of Global Brand Elements to Affiliates: While almost half of participating companies deliver branding elements as a package to local affiliates, it is very common for key elements such as positioning and messages to be shared earlier. Global Brand Elements Often Delivered as Package to Affiliates *Others: • It has not been done in last 5 years. Current plan for new pending launch is to hand over as a package • Work together vs hand off • No affiliates • Not Applicable(2) • Both of the above...important elements shared when they are ready, but also as a package * “Some of the stuff that’s part of the overall brand strategy…like positioning [and messaging], once we nail that down we would deliver out to the regions and the countries. Things that are more part of the package but aren’t of such supreme importance we would probably just wait until the full package is ready.” --Senior Director, Marketing

  • 11. Page | 11 “I think if you’re dealing in the specialty space I think the best approach in developing a global brand plan is – I mean in a majority of examples that I know of, let the US take the lead.” -- Senior Associate Director of Analytics Narrative: Let the U.S. Lead in Global Branding Process Q: It sounds like your global works really well with affiliates and yet you mentioned some of these issues of running up against the deadlines and the US being so different. “This is a European- based company, but they like to have a level of control. In the US market where the timelines are very compressed - and really if this represents like a critical first step in a successful global launch - I think it’s important to let the local markets that are large take the lead on a lot of the sort of global branding initiatives. So, it’s definitely kind of relinquishing some control from a corporate headquarter standpoint, but I think it’s very important if you want to have a very successful launch in the US and then potentially rest of the world.” -- Senior Associate Director of Analytics
