Introductions and Acknowledgements • Presenter: Chauncey Smith, currently area vice president for Medsn and former Senior Medical Brand Manger with Glaxo SmithKline Consumer Healthcare (GSKCH) • proud to provide this case study experience as a peer to peer exchange with the permission of GSKCH professional sales\marketing leadership and CBI. • product portfolio discussed in this discussion was sold by GSKCH to Altana\Pharma Derm in late 2005  • Acknowledgements for indirect and indirect contributions: Alan Schaefer, Doug Kaufman, Jean Pachuta, Cameron Poluszek, Kent Roman, Science Media and the Medical Marketing Association
Situation analysis • In late 2003 GSK Consumer Healthcare repatriated a dermatology portfolio that was out-licensed 2-3 years prior • Initial sales force training was quickly assembled and focused largely on the topical steroid products because of the size and strategic importance (1-2 OTC switch candidates) • The very short lead-time preparing for the sales force launch (6-8 total weeks) required the marketing team to rely on trusting an unvalidated communication and brand positioning to be correct… it wasn’t
Situation analysis • By 2Q 2004, Oxistat was missing its monthly forecasts and quickly became a concern for the business unit team • The debate between sales and marketing about the necessity to re-train the sales team after only 6 months became intense. The decision was made. • The team immediately set out to re-establish the brand positioning as part of its annual planning process • After some initial debate with the sales team, it was agreed that Oxistat would be relaunched with the new positioning and a training curriculum in the 4 th  Quarter

Oxistat Relaunch:  Getting started –  looking for the right strategy! • The starting point for our effort began with analysis of syndicated and primary market research  • Quickly confirmed that our customers were looking for very different benefits than we were providing in our promotion • There was no new clinical data to support the revised positioning, so the team built supportable claims as closely aligned with the desired position as possible • At this time, we started thinking about the need for an experienced partner to help develop a distance based training program.
Selecting a training partner was helped by  developing a clear project brief • There was no in house experience creating a distance based learning program, networking proved to be key • We required content and technical expertise our in house staff did not have (R&D, training, medical writers were generalists, allocated across large portfolios) • We also had an intense sense of urgency and needed someone to help us quickly deliver a big change in strategy • Needed to demonstrate ability to work through our approval timelines and participants
We chose ScienceMedia as our training partner • Collaborated to produce a 6 unit (approx. 3 hours) learning module that encompassed revised brand positions, competitive set descriptions and assessments. • Demonstrated an understanding of what would be required to get project completed during selection process • Focused content development throughout the process, led by Julie Gegner, PhD • Previewed at National Meeting in November 2004 and launched in February 2005
After all of the analysis and research a winning strategy emerges for Oxistat • Being unfamiliar with the topical anti-fungal category initially, we falsely believed the physicians were “sold” on competitive claims concerning efficacy • Competitive “fungicidal” modes of action being superior to “fungistatic” • To our surprise, prescribers were most interested in a once daily formulation their patients could deal with; MOA was irrelevant
Result: investment in “training” drove TRx growth  inside and outside sales force alignment by forcing  us to sharpen our message Data on file
Another example of how this concept was  utilized for relaunch is what we did for the  steroid products Reusable Digital Training Objects* Could comprise 80% of content and cost for these activities Promotional Physician Education Internet Marketing Convention & Symposia eDetail test* MiniCD announcement of website* Mode of action animation*

Oxistat Relaunch Case Study Conclusions for Pharmaceutical Marketers • Take the time to do the right blend of research to help you define the need and re-establish brand based on fact • Trust in your training company’s ability to manage timeline and deliverables once the plan is established • Think of the consumption volume beyond your sales force’s reach, consider alternative channel communication • Technology should be utilized to help enable as much access as possible or reasonable; plan accordingly • Test emerging techniques, if it fits your demographic and may help to solve your re-launch challenge… try it!
