My mission in 40 minutes
• Grasp at a definition of « closed-loop » &
  « multi-channel »
• Review how feasible that really is (in Pharma)
• List out some « key factors »
• Suggest where the sales rep fits in

And all that in an interactive manner on a case
study for a pluri-disciplinary audience!
                                                   2
To make this happen?
• Listen up
• Share your thoughts
• Engage in the journey together




                                   3
Why bother listening to me?
•   To be polite and you paid to come here?
•   20 years working across different industries
•   Helped blue-chip’s embrace eBiz 12 years ago
•   Last 9 years in Pharma
    –   Sales
    –   Marketing (multi-channel)
    –   Finance
    –   Consulting
• France!

                                                   4
What is driving the urgency in Pharma?

From: (I know my Sales Rep)
• Sales Rep is king
• KOL and pyramid of influence
• Push and they will prescribe

To: (I know my doctor and his patient)
• Doctors have multiple sources of information & no
  time (access)
• Patients are powerful
• Security and liability are headlines (product)
• Payers are broke!
                                                      5

Channel: Newsletter
AND SO ON PER CHANNEL…


                         14
…of which there are many
to touch our Doctor




                           15
… and Patients too!




               16
Consider channel coverage..

               Web
               sites


                       Sales reps
                                     News
                                    Letters




                                              17
Reach today!
... and tomorrow…


                  Sales
                  reps
                          Web 2.0
                                     News
                                    Letters




                                              18
Potential reach
…and then there’s the sticky question
     on messages & channels?


            different
            messages
            through
            different
            channels      Same
                        message
                         several
             One        channels
           message
             per
           channel

                                        19
…not forgetting compliance & privacy..
• Are we fully transparent
• Do we have true ePermissions
• What information are we holding
• Who has access to that information
• Where is the information held (the server
  question)
• …

                                              20
…Medical & Regulatory…
•   On-label vs « perception » of hinting off-label
•   AER
•   Medical liability
•   « medical divice »
•   Promotional rules…




                                                      21
..human resistance to change…
• Cultural focus on the sales rep (80:20)
• Relative lack of knowledge of our HCP
• Lack of training and education in these new
  channels
      Fear
      Perceive risks and no benefits
      (Need to go 20:80)

                                                22
…and infrastructure capabilities!
Can, or should we build to integrate:
• CRM on tablets – Sales rep, ML, Mktg…
• Portals
• Newsletters (internal & external)
• Webinars
• Widgets



                                          23
And then there’s that wierd thing #
• Scary and not going away


   Social Media & Mobile

(all of above slides apply here again)



                                         24
So what am I saying?
• The concept of closed-loop real-time
  multi-channel marketing is great, but…
• Start with baby steps to learn how to run
• Use common sense, ROI calculations are
 probably impossible to prove and will distract
 us from focusing on what matters
• Absolute clarity on objectives and how to
  measure results per channel
                                                  25
SO WHERE IS THE INTERACTIVE
CASE STUDY?

                              26
Imagine you are the CEO
NewVentureBiomed:

Just raised $XBn to build an organization around a new
molecule spun off from a university that targets primary
care doctors for a new illness.
(aka. Target HCP & Patients)

You inherit a sales force 1/5th the size of your
“traditional” need, but not like those traditional types
(they love technology)

Face2face access is getting really tough!
                                                           27
Which channels (and why)?
• ….




                                   28
Trick to see if you were listening!
  What is the objective?
  • Product provides a « quality of life » advantage
    created by a long half-life.
  • Doctors today believe it is just a « marketing
    thing », and the specialists don’t want to know about
    it (hence GP target)
  • Patients do care about it once informed

Build an emotional campaign that will last 12 months taking
the HCP & Patients through an awakening journey
(behavioural change).
Drive patients to consult GP or at least their pharmacist 29
Which channels (why, and when)*?
• ….




* For the Italian market       30
Who should drive & push buttons:




 Sales                     Mktg




              Other?
                                  31
How « real-time » and « closed-loop »
        would you make it?
Examples:
• …




                                    32
Here’s one I prepared earlier 
Patients (& partners)
• DAC: TV, website (partnership), YouTube
  (all pushing patients to see doctor)
Doctors
• Sales
  Reps, Webinars, Newsletters, Banners, specialise
  d press (with QR code to mini-site) – disease and
  product
Pharmacists
• Educational
   videos, leaflets, webinars, Newsletters, Banners, specialise33
   d press
Key learnings
• Estimate time necessary then triple it
• Validate your objectives (MR, focus groups)
• Focus on fewer channels but execute with
  excellence
• Channel selection:
  – Suitability for objective, Reach, impact, CPI
• Internal marketing & educating
• Establish processes, R&R
                                                    34
Thank you for your time 

Realtime closed loop marketing in the pharmaceutical industry_annual global pharma sfe forum rome_2012

  • 1. Is closed-Loop multi-channel marketing possible in Pharma? … and where does the sales rep fit in? 7th Annual Global Pharma SFE Forum Sven Awege Pharma Strategic sven@pharmastrategic.com +33 6 430 58 229 1
  • 2. My mission in 40 minutes • Grasp at a definition of « closed-loop » & « multi-channel » • Review how feasible that really is (in Pharma) • List out some « key factors » • Suggest where the sales rep fits in And all that in an interactive manner on a case study for a pluri-disciplinary audience! 2
  • 3. To make this happen? • Listen up • Share your thoughts • Engage in the journey together 3
  • 4. Why bother listening to me? • To be polite and you paid to come here? • 20 years working across different industries • Helped blue-chip’s embrace eBiz 12 years ago • Last 9 years in Pharma – Sales – Marketing (multi-channel) – Finance – Consulting • France! 4
  • 5. What is driving the urgency in Pharma? From: (I know my Sales Rep) • Sales Rep is king • KOL and pyramid of influence • Push and they will prescribe To: (I know my doctor and his patient) • Doctors have multiple sources of information & no time (access) • Patients are powerful • Security and liability are headlines (product) • Payers are broke! 5
  • 6. Hands up if you agree 6
  • 7. Concept: closed loop marketing Analysis Marketing Sales 7
  • 8. Closed-loop in Pharma? Marketing defines « new » campaign Refinement Communicated to (generation of sales reps in cycle comm « B ») meetings Sales reps Mktg, MR & SFE « select » team Analyse information for doctor X 8 Channel: Sales Reps
  • 10. Closed-loop in Pharma? Marketing defines « new » campaign Refinement Communicated to (generation of sales reps in cycle comm « B ») meetings Sales reps Understand rationale Mktg, MR & SFE « select » Visual aids: 15-30% team Analyse information to 100-300 doctors/rep doctor X Data collection 10
  • 11. Closed-loop in Pharma? Marketing defines « new » campaign Refinement Communicated to (generation of sales reps in cycle comm « B ») meetings Sales reps Validity of data Mktg, MR & SFE « select » Representivity team Analyse information to doctor X 11
  • 12. Closed-loop in Pharma? Marketing defines « new » campaign Are doctors all Refinement Communicated to at same stage (generation of sales reps in cycle of the story? comm « B ») meetings Current behaviour Future behaviour Sales reps Mktg, MR & SFE « select » team Analyse information to doctor X 12
  • 13. Closed-loop in Pharma? Marketing defines « new » campaign Refinement (generation NL sent through of comm « B ») IT/agency? Representivity Mktg Analyse Open, clic, read, engage? 13 Channel: Newsletter
  • 14. AND SO ON PER CHANNEL… 14
  • 15. …of which there are many to touch our Doctor 15
  • 16. … and Patients too! 16
  • 17. Consider channel coverage.. Web sites Sales reps News Letters 17 Reach today!
  • 18. ... and tomorrow… Sales reps Web 2.0 News Letters 18 Potential reach
  • 19. …and then there’s the sticky question on messages & channels? different messages through different channels Same message several One channels message per channel 19
  • 20. …not forgetting compliance & privacy.. • Are we fully transparent • Do we have true ePermissions • What information are we holding • Who has access to that information • Where is the information held (the server question) • … 20
  • 21. …Medical & Regulatory… • On-label vs « perception » of hinting off-label • AER • Medical liability • « medical divice » • Promotional rules… 21
  • 22. ..human resistance to change… • Cultural focus on the sales rep (80:20) • Relative lack of knowledge of our HCP • Lack of training and education in these new channels Fear Perceive risks and no benefits (Need to go 20:80) 22
  • 23. …and infrastructure capabilities! Can, or should we build to integrate: • CRM on tablets – Sales rep, ML, Mktg… • Portals • Newsletters (internal & external) • Webinars • Widgets 23
  • 24. And then there’s that wierd thing # • Scary and not going away Social Media & Mobile (all of above slides apply here again) 24
  • 25. So what am I saying? • The concept of closed-loop real-time multi-channel marketing is great, but… • Start with baby steps to learn how to run • Use common sense, ROI calculations are probably impossible to prove and will distract us from focusing on what matters • Absolute clarity on objectives and how to measure results per channel 25
  • 26. SO WHERE IS THE INTERACTIVE CASE STUDY? 26
  • 27. Imagine you are the CEO NewVentureBiomed: Just raised $XBn to build an organization around a new molecule spun off from a university that targets primary care doctors for a new illness. (aka. Target HCP & Patients) You inherit a sales force 1/5th the size of your “traditional” need, but not like those traditional types (they love technology) Face2face access is getting really tough! 27
  • 28. Which channels (and why)? • …. 28
  • 29. Trick to see if you were listening! What is the objective? • Product provides a « quality of life » advantage created by a long half-life. • Doctors today believe it is just a « marketing thing », and the specialists don’t want to know about it (hence GP target) • Patients do care about it once informed Build an emotional campaign that will last 12 months taking the HCP & Patients through an awakening journey (behavioural change). Drive patients to consult GP or at least their pharmacist 29
  • 30. Which channels (why, and when)*? • …. * For the Italian market 30
  • 31. Who should drive & push buttons: Sales Mktg Other? 31
  • 32. How « real-time » and « closed-loop » would you make it? Examples: • … 32
  • 33. Here’s one I prepared earlier  Patients (& partners) • DAC: TV, website (partnership), YouTube (all pushing patients to see doctor) Doctors • Sales Reps, Webinars, Newsletters, Banners, specialise d press (with QR code to mini-site) – disease and product Pharmacists • Educational videos, leaflets, webinars, Newsletters, Banners, specialise33 d press
  • 34. Key learnings • Estimate time necessary then triple it • Validate your objectives (MR, focus groups) • Focus on fewer channels but execute with excellence • Channel selection: – Suitability for objective, Reach, impact, CPI • Internal marketing & educating • Establish processes, R&R 34
  • 35. Thank you for your time  7th Annual Global Pharma SFE Forum Sven Awege Pharma Strategic sven@pharmastrategic.com +33 6 430 58 229 35
