Digital Marketing strategies
In the pharmaceutical industry
Introduction

             “Social networking is one of the hottest new marketing topics both within and beyond
             pharma over the next few years, the biggest external impact will be seen on pharma's
             interactions with patients, followed closely by the influence on the industry's online
             relationship with doctors.
   Social media also is poised to drive significant change internally in pharmaceutical organizations
   as they strive for productivity and efficiency gains.”

                  Len Starnes, head of global digital sales and marketing for Schering-Plough




   "Healthcare has underutilized e-mail compared to most other industries, actually the number of
   people opting in to receive this kind of communication has doubled over the past couple of
   years. On the physician side, most companies are not emailing physicians and it's probably one
   of the biggest missed opportunities we see.
   Most physicians are completely willing to get emails from pharma companies, but pharma hasn't
   recognized that yet and simply isn't doing it.”


             Mark Bard, president of Manhattan Research (Healthcare Market Research Firm).


                                                                                                        2
Executive Summary

           Most corporate executives are convinced by now that the scale and pervasiveness of
           today’s technological change require a fundamental review of business strategy.



     Technologies through the Internet are creating opportunities to rethink business models,
     processes and relationships of unprecedented levels with customers and prescribers.

     e.g. On-line marketing activities of hospitals include components such as discussion groups,
     research, communications with doctors and patients, newsletters, referrals, intranet, disease
     management, health education, physician directory, recruiting, e-mail, and website.

     While all these are essential, 95.7% of marketers who report using on-line marketing
     strategies have websites as their primary basis for marketing.

     Interestingly, most healthcare organizations use websites primarily for promotion and
     recruiting purposes.

     Some are adding more creative functions such as interactivity between doctors and patients,
     and sites that link physicians to clinical data repositories.

     Even though there are many cost effective ways to incorporate some of these options, most
     are rather expensive but they also point to the very essence of e-marketing in any business.

Definition of e-Marketing

         What does Internet marketing refer to?

            Internet marketing, also referred to as digital-marketing, web-
            marketing, online-marketing or e-Marketing, is the marketing of
            products or services over the Internet.


            e-marketing includes marketing done via e-mail and wireless media.


            e-marketing refers also to management of digital customer data and
            electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM) systems are also
            often grouped together under internet marketing.


            e-marketing also refers to the placement of media along many
            different stages of the customer engagement cycle through search
            engine marketing (SEM), search engine optimization (SEO)


            e-marketing finally includes marketing done via banner ads on specific
            websites, and Web 2.0 strategies.

                                                                                     5

Definition of Pharmaceutical e-Marketing

         Pharmaceutical e-Marketing
         It is in reality not a single concept and could be divided into three categories:


            End user (including doctors and hospitals): This is actually something
            which is mostly based on providing reports, scientific data, etc. to the
            specialists in order to start the promotion of a new drug. A type of the e-
            Marketing strategy used nowadays is new media

            Bulk drugs: This sector is not visible to the end users and mostly
            involves established drugs like antibiotics, antipyretic, etc. The
            competition is getting tougher but is mostly left outside the scope of the
            e-Marketing. Type of the e-Marketing used – anything from a catalogue
            on the web to the chemical portals.

            API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients): New and probably the most
            exciting area of pharma e-Marketing. APIs are pure B2B as they are
            distributed between the pharma companies only. There are very few
            specialists in this area but due to tremendous progress made in this field
            in countries like India and China the industry is about to gain serious
            momentum. Type of the e-Marketing used – highly individual, depends on
            the skills of the specialist involved.

                                                                                             6
Causes & Effects
Causes of increasing use of e-Marketing
                            e-



           As the Internet gains more significance in different aspects of our lives,
           the world of healthcare bounds to have its share of the Internet use
           gradually.

           As more healthcare facilities erect gates between physicians and pharma
           sales representatives, industry has turned to other promotional methods
           and is increasing use of e-Marketing


           Electronic detailing and online events let doctors check out drug
           information when and where they choose, rather than having to meet
           with a live representative during office hours

           e-marketing can be carefully controlled; an electronic sales pitch can't
           choose to go off-label

           Faced with an increasingly difficult operating environment, pharmaceutical
           companies are seeking ways to establish close and sustainable
           relationships with customers.

Some immediate and visible Effects




            Overall drug industry spending on e-marketing was up 7 percent for the first 11
            months of last year to $477 million*


            Pfizer Inc. had spent $27 million on e-marketing efforts through the first 11 months of
            the year, compared with $14 million for the same period a year previously*


            Merck & Co. still leads the field by a wide margin, on a pace to spend about $68
            million on an annual basis*


            Pfizer cut back on traditionally higher-costing promotions for such medications as
            cholesterol-fighter Lipitor ($2 million, down $200,000) and pain treatment Lyrica ($2.8
            million, down $1 million).

           Internet is now a significant source of health information and connectivity between
           providers, prescribers and payers

           Marketing


           The interest in e-health as a channel for the marketing of health-related products and
           services increases every day.

           New social networking tools and social networking communities have made it easier
           to reach and bring together individuals who are interested in a specific disease or
           medical treatment


           From social networking tools and advanced physician portals to streaming video and
           closed loop strategies, the opportunities to open new communication channels with
           patients, physicians and KOL are limited only by a marketer's imagination and
           determination.

           Social networking

           It encompasses a range of network sites that allow users to interact and share data.
           This computer-mediated communication has become very popular with social sites
           like MySpace, Facebook and Bebo, media sites like Flickr and YouTube or Dailymotion

           Social networking




           Pharmaceutical companies have begun to use social network analysis to uncover Key
           Opinion Leaders or thought leaders


           It does not introduce respondent biasness, which is commonly found in primary
           research


           It can identify and map out the entire scientific community for a disease state


           It has greater compliance with state and federal regulations; because physician
           prescribing patterns are not used to create the social network




                                                                                               17

           Medical portals




           More and more patients demand to know and expect up-to-date information on their
           condition and treatment, as well as alternative treatment options.


           The access to information via the Internet means that information on a US website
           can be read by a European patient and may include information on a branded
           medicine. As we are in an age of global communication, the time is right to
           reconsider the regulatory environment for DTCC in Europe


           Attractive avenues for e-pharmaceutical marketing in Europe include the application
           of e-health in disease management, to promote compliance and in patient advocacy
           to increase pressure for the regulatory approval of innovative therapies.


           The foundation of sustainable success in the application of e-health for
           pharmaceutical marketing lies the combination of strategic alliances and
           technological innovation



                                                                                                 19

           Advanced physician portals

           By bridging the gap between physicians and the home care agency, physician portals
           are quickly becoming an easy-to-use and cost effective solution to send document
           electronically. This concept benefits both parties in a number of ways.
           Agencies benefit because it reduces overhead and provides a way to manage
           documentation sent to the physician.
           Physicians benefit because they can streamline the process for signing orders, create
           a more efficient office, and capture the information needed to bill for Care Plan
           Oversight.


           There are two primary types of portals on the market today


           Software-dependent physician portals are specific to a home care agency's
           software. These portals lack flexibility at the physician level and can only work with
           one agency at a time.


           Independent physician portals are not specific to home health software. These
           portals provide flexibility to physicians and have the ability to work with multiple
           agencies at a time.
            As a leader in the Home Care and Hospice industries, HEALTHCAREfirst has
           developed and launched firstCPO, its own independent physician portal earlier this
           year.

           Streaming Video




           Streaming video allows computer users to begin viewing video clips stored on servers
           without downloading the entire file.After a short period to initialize and buffer the
           file, it begins to “stream,” or play, in real time.


           Pharmaceutical companies could consider Streaming Video opportunity within three
           main domains:
                 1. Scientific information on specific disease
                 2. Information on advantages and effects of specific treatments
                 3. Hybrid meeting


           Hybrid meetings are events that contain both live and virtual components combined.
           They are also great opportunities and are one of the hottest trends in meeting
           planning.


           Live Webcasts using streaming video of the conference would allow event sponsors
           and hosting organizations to widen their meeting exposure to include those who
           follow the conference online
                                                                                                   21

           A critical review of evolution of e-health in Europe, focusing on the strategic
           implications of the differences (and similarities) between the European and US e-
           health environments can assist us in better discerning emerging trends and distinct
           commercial opportunities at the interface between the pharmaceutical industry and
           e-health.


           The European e-health space differs substantially from that of the US,


           National health insurance, social factors, consumer and provider characteristics and
           regulatory barriers force us to rethink the prevailing health portal and connectivity
           approach to e-health.


           Restrictions on direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs: regulatory
           authorities in Europe, as well as the European Commission, are reacting with
           conservative caution to the DTCC debate

           Limited opportunities for private sector connectivity solutions seem to limit the
           successful application of e-health as a pharmaceutical marketing tool in Europe.

                                                                                                   23

           Search Engine Optimization (SEO)


           SEO is something unique to the Internet environment:
           47% of Web users said that the most common way they find products or information
           is through search engines.



           The top 10 results to a search query get 78% more traffic than subsequent listings,
           many firms use SEO to be sure their site is high on the list.

              1. Register with the top and niche search engines for their industry. Although
                 search engine robots are constantly looking for new Web pages, registration
                 accelerates the process.

              2. Use key words that describe their sites in hidden HTML tags located by search
                 engines (Meta tags).

              3. Craft the text and titles on their pages to reflect these topic areas, including
                 different spellings of key words that users might type into the search engine.

           Many search engines charge a slotting fee for top positions, 13% said they pay for
           the links or clicks-through


           To stay high on the listing of search results, SEO strategies change almost daily.


                                                                                                    25

           E-Detailing

           European market is still in an early stage of development and adoption. In fact, only
           15% of European physicians have participated in an electronic detailing program
           today, a number that has remained statistically stagnant year over year.



           That said, the electronic detailing market in Europe does have a few companies
           acting as active players – with Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) driving the majority
           of market share today.

           Although the sales force initially looked at e-detailing with skepticism, wondering if
           online promotion would render the traditional sales call obsolete, most reps are
           actually seeing the opposite effect:

              1. e-detail actually increases the overall time spent with the rep. The office visit
                 takes on a new life in the context of a growing array of clinical information
                 sources – online and offline.

              2. physicians participating in e-detailing are more likely to report they spend
                 more time with a rep as a result of an e-detail, as opposed to taking away time
                 from the rep as a result.

           Ahead-of-the-curve companies across Europe are capitalising on e-detailing as a low-
           cost opportunity to increase physician engagement and improve the overall sales call
           quality.

                                                                                                     26

           Effects of Web 2.0 on Consumer’s decision making process

               Understanding the sources of customer value and the motives of consumers to
               use these applications are the first steps to this direction.


               Web 2.0 applications are becoming increasingly popular due to the advantages
               they offer to users (transparency, referrals, contacts with other users, etc) and
               their effect on customer power.


               Interaction with peers triggers new customer needs and alter buying attitudes.


               Customer preferences and decisions are increasingly based on inputs provided
               by parties beyond the control of online marketers:


                1.   peer reviews,
                2.   referrals,
                3.   blogs, tagging,
                4.   social networks,
                5.   online forums,
                6.   user-generated content




                                                                                                   31

                              Effects of Web 2.0 on Consumer’s decision making process
                                As a result, the internet, and particularly the Web 2.0 as a new marketplace
                                component, further complicates the time-honoured ‘textbook’ buying behaviour
                                process described in the Inputs, Processing, Response model

                                where the elements A and B represent the traditional influencers of the consumer
                                behaviour: these are the conventional marketing influences (A) and the
                                uncontrollable personal influencers (B).

           Consumer Involvement Model
            Foote-Cone-Belding Model (“think, feel, do”)

            Model suggests that consumers:

              •   Become aware of and learn about a new product (think): steps are
                  awareness and knowledge,
              •   Develop a positive or negative attitude about it (feel): steps are liking and
                  preference,
              •   Move to purchasing it (do).

            High-involvement product decisions (high financial, emotional, or social risk):
              •   Consumers spend time gathering information and considering alternatives
                  prior to buying such products.


            Low-involvement decisions: consumers just hear about a product, give it a try, and
            then decide if they like it.


            To build brands and inform customers:
              •   A firm operates at the cognitive & attitude levels of the hierarchy of effects,
              •   Uses information publishing, Web advertising, e-mail campaigns, and other
                  promotional techniques.


                                                                                                    35

                   Closed Loop Strategies
                  Another hot topic in pharma e-marketing is closed loop marketing. The main
                  objective is to avoid to leave customer communication gap open.


                  Segmentation is giving way to "particle" marketing, which is dealing with individuals
                  rather than segments.

                  Closed Loop Strategies

                 Consumers are becoming more aware:
                 According to a recent Forrester report, "one in five consumers are using Social
                 computing as the single means of obtaining knowledge about their health conditions.”



                 Particle Marketing is the only way to fill the consumer communication gap, it is closed
                 loop - where you end up with as many segments as individuals

6. Streaming Video
Streaming video allows computer users to begin viewing video clips stored on servers
without downloading the entire file. After a short period to initialize and buffer the file, it
begins to “stream,” or play, in real time.


    Pharmaceutical companies could consider Streaming Video opportunity within three
    main domains:
          1. Scientific information on specific protections or molecules
          2. Information on advantages and effects of specific protections
          3. Hybrid meeting

    Hybrid meetings are events that contain both live and virtual components combined.

    They are also great opportunities and are one of the hottest trends in meeting
    planning.


    Live Webcasts using streaming video of the conference would allow event sponsors
    and hosting organizations to widen their meeting exposure to include those who follow
    the conference online

Pharmaceutical e-Marketing v2.0

  • 1. Pharmaceutical networking medical portal operational Search engine optimization Advanced E-Marketing E-Marketing strategies Search engine marketing linking Web 2.0 Streaming Pharmaceutical Social media E-strategy blog digital Marketing Management campaign © Jean-Luc CAUT 2012 Jean- Digital Marketing strategies In the pharmaceutical industry
  • 2. Introduction “Social networking is one of the hottest new marketing topics both within and beyond pharma over the next few years, the biggest external impact will be seen on pharma's interactions with patients, followed closely by the influence on the industry's online relationship with doctors. Social media also is poised to drive significant change internally in pharmaceutical organizations as they strive for productivity and efficiency gains.” Len Starnes, head of global digital sales and marketing for Schering-Plough "Healthcare has underutilized e-mail compared to most other industries, actually the number of people opting in to receive this kind of communication has doubled over the past couple of years. On the physician side, most companies are not emailing physicians and it's probably one of the biggest missed opportunities we see. Most physicians are completely willing to get emails from pharma companies, but pharma hasn't recognized that yet and simply isn't doing it.” Mark Bard, president of Manhattan Research (Healthcare Market Research Firm). 2
  • 3. Executive Summary Most corporate executives are convinced by now that the scale and pervasiveness of today’s technological change require a fundamental review of business strategy. Technologies through the Internet are creating opportunities to rethink business models, processes and relationships of unprecedented levels with customers and prescribers. e.g. On-line marketing activities of hospitals include components such as discussion groups, research, communications with doctors and patients, newsletters, referrals, intranet, disease management, health education, physician directory, recruiting, e-mail, and website. While all these are essential, 95.7% of marketers who report using on-line marketing strategies have websites as their primary basis for marketing. Interestingly, most healthcare organizations use websites primarily for promotion and recruiting purposes. Some are adding more creative functions such as interactivity between doctors and patients, and sites that link physicians to clinical data repositories. Even though there are many cost effective ways to incorporate some of these options, most are rather expensive but they also point to the very essence of e-marketing in any business. 3
  • 5. e- Definition of e-Marketing What does Internet marketing refer to? Internet marketing, also referred to as digital-marketing, web- marketing, online-marketing or e-Marketing, is the marketing of products or services over the Internet. e-marketing includes marketing done via e-mail and wireless media. e-marketing refers also to management of digital customer data and electronic customer relationship management (e-CRM) systems are also often grouped together under internet marketing. e-marketing also refers to the placement of media along many different stages of the customer engagement cycle through search engine marketing (SEM), search engine optimization (SEO) e-marketing finally includes marketing done via banner ads on specific websites, and Web 2.0 strategies. 5
  • 6. e- Definition of Pharmaceutical e-Marketing Pharmaceutical e-Marketing It is in reality not a single concept and could be divided into three categories: End user (including doctors and hospitals): This is actually something which is mostly based on providing reports, scientific data, etc. to the specialists in order to start the promotion of a new drug. A type of the e- Marketing strategy used nowadays is new media Bulk drugs: This sector is not visible to the end users and mostly involves established drugs like antibiotics, antipyretic, etc. The competition is getting tougher but is mostly left outside the scope of the e-Marketing. Type of the e-Marketing used – anything from a catalogue on the web to the chemical portals. API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients): New and probably the most exciting area of pharma e-Marketing. APIs are pure B2B as they are distributed between the pharma companies only. There are very few specialists in this area but due to tremendous progress made in this field in countries like India and China the industry is about to gain serious momentum. Type of the e-Marketing used – highly individual, depends on the skills of the specialist involved. 6
  • 8. Causes of increasing use of e-Marketing e- As the Internet gains more significance in different aspects of our lives, the world of healthcare bounds to have its share of the Internet use gradually. As more healthcare facilities erect gates between physicians and pharma sales representatives, industry has turned to other promotional methods and is increasing use of e-Marketing Electronic detailing and online events let doctors check out drug information when and where they choose, rather than having to meet with a live representative during office hours e-marketing can be carefully controlled; an electronic sales pitch can't choose to go off-label Faced with an increasingly difficult operating environment, pharmaceutical companies are seeking ways to establish close and sustainable relationships with customers. 8
  • 9. Some immediate and visible Effects Overall drug industry spending on e-marketing was up 7 percent for the first 11 months of last year to $477 million* Pfizer Inc. had spent $27 million on e-marketing efforts through the first 11 months of the year, compared with $14 million for the same period a year previously* Merck & Co. still leads the field by a wide margin, on a pace to spend about $68 million on an annual basis* Pfizer cut back on traditionally higher-costing promotions for such medications as cholesterol-fighter Lipitor ($2 million, down $200,000) and pain treatment Lyrica ($2.8 million, down $1 million).

  • 12. e-Marketing Opportunities Internet is now a significant source of health information and connectivity between providers, prescribers and payers We attend at the transformation of traditional 4Ps Operational Marketing to e- Marketing The interest in e-health as a channel for the marketing of health-related products and services increases every day. New social networking tools and social networking communities have made it easier to reach and bring together individuals who are interested in a specific disease or medical treatment From social networking tools and advanced physician portals to streaming video and closed loop strategies, the opportunities to open new communication channels with patients, physicians and KOL are limited only by a marketer's imagination and determination. 12
  • 13. e-Marketing Opportunities Social networking It encompasses a range of network sites that allow users to interact and share data. This computer-mediated communication has become very popular with social sites like MySpace, Facebook and Bebo, media sites like Flickr and YouTube or Dailymotion Top 50 most mentioned words in conversations surrounding “PHARMACEUTICAL” 13
  • 14. e-Marketing Opportunities It is all about networking e.g. Pfizer’s network (01-2012) 14
  • 15. e-Marketing Opportunities Celgene (Biopharmaceutical company), network (11-2010) 15
  • 16. e-Marketing Opportunities Celgene’s network (01-2012) 16
  • 17. e-Marketing Opportunities Social networking Pharmaceutical companies have begun to use social network analysis to uncover Key Opinion Leaders or thought leaders It does not introduce respondent biasness, which is commonly found in primary research It can identify and map out the entire scientific community for a disease state It has greater compliance with state and federal regulations; because physician prescribing patterns are not used to create the social network 17
  • 18. e-Marketing Opportunities Social networking 18
  • 19. e-Marketing Opportunities Medical portals More and more patients demand to know and expect up-to-date information on their condition and treatment, as well as alternative treatment options. The access to information via the Internet means that information on a US website can be read by a European patient and may include information on a branded medicine. As we are in an age of global communication, the time is right to reconsider the regulatory environment for DTCC in Europe Attractive avenues for e-pharmaceutical marketing in Europe include the application of e-health in disease management, to promote compliance and in patient advocacy to increase pressure for the regulatory approval of innovative therapies. The foundation of sustainable success in the application of e-health for pharmaceutical marketing lies the combination of strategic alliances and technological innovation 19
  • 20. e-Marketing Opportunities Advanced physician portals By bridging the gap between physicians and the home care agency, physician portals are quickly becoming an easy-to-use and cost effective solution to send document electronically. This concept benefits both parties in a number of ways. Agencies benefit because it reduces overhead and provides a way to manage documentation sent to the physician. Physicians benefit because they can streamline the process for signing orders, create a more efficient office, and capture the information needed to bill for Care Plan Oversight. There are two primary types of portals on the market today Software-dependent physician portals are specific to a home care agency's software. These portals lack flexibility at the physician level and can only work with one agency at a time. Independent physician portals are not specific to home health software. These portals provide flexibility to physicians and have the ability to work with multiple agencies at a time. As a leader in the Home Care and Hospice industries, HEALTHCAREfirst has developed and launched firstCPO, its own independent physician portal earlier this year. 20
  • 21. e-Marketing Opportunities Streaming Video Streaming video allows computer users to begin viewing video clips stored on servers without downloading the entire file.After a short period to initialize and buffer the file, it begins to “stream,” or play, in real time. Pharmaceutical companies could consider Streaming Video opportunity within three main domains: 1. Scientific information on specific disease 2. Information on advantages and effects of specific treatments 3. Hybrid meeting Hybrid meetings are events that contain both live and virtual components combined. They are also great opportunities and are one of the hottest trends in meeting planning.

  • 23. e-Marketing Opportunities Medical portals A critical review of evolution of e-health in Europe, focusing on the strategic implications of the differences (and similarities) between the European and US e- health environments can assist us in better discerning emerging trends and distinct commercial opportunities at the interface between the pharmaceutical industry and e-health. The European e-health space differs substantially from that of the US, National health insurance, social factors, consumer and provider characteristics and regulatory barriers force us to rethink the prevailing health portal and connectivity approach to e-health. Restrictions on direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs: regulatory authorities in Europe, as well as the European Commission, are reacting with conservative caution to the DTCC debate Limited opportunities for private sector connectivity solutions seem to limit the successful application of e-health as a pharmaceutical marketing tool in Europe. 23

  • 26. e-Marketing Opportunities E-Detailing European market is still in an early stage of development and adoption. In fact, only 15% of European physicians have participated in an electronic detailing program today, a number that has remained statistically stagnant year over year. That said, the electronic detailing market in Europe does have a few companies acting as active players – with Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) driving the majority of market share today. Although the sales force initially looked at e-detailing with skepticism, wondering if online promotion would render the traditional sales call obsolete, most reps are actually seeing the opposite effect: 1. e-detail actually increases the overall time spent with the rep. The office visit takes on a new life in the context of a growing array of clinical information sources – online and offline. 2. physicians participating in e-detailing are more likely to report they spend more time with a rep as a result of an e-detail, as opposed to taking away time from the rep as a result. Ahead-of-the-curve companies across Europe are capitalising on e-detailing as a low- cost opportunity to increase physician engagement and improve the overall sales call quality. 26

High-involvement product decisions (high financial, emotional, or social risk): • Consumers spend time gathering information and considering alternatives prior to buying such products. Low-involvement decisions: consumers just hear about a product, give it a try, and then decide if they like it. To build brands and inform customers: • A firm operates at the cognitive & attitude levels of the hierarchy of effects, • Uses information publishing, Web advertising, e-mail campaigns, and other promotional techniques. 35
