There have been multiple promises by pharma to change its sales and
marketing approach. Booz & Co. partner Danielle Rollmann says the time for
promises is over, and action needs to happen, particularly in the digital
space. Now.
“We are beyond the point of hand-wringing over the issue,” she told MM&M, as part of a discussion of a survey her company conducted with National Analysts Worldwide of 156 US and EU-based executives. For those who read the survey's initial results MM&M reported in February, the latest news is how execs say they will put money behind their promises to change.
Among the 69% of execs who said the current marketing model needs to change:
• 58% said they were increasing their budgets for social media that targets doctors over the next two years
• 55% said they were increasing their investments in mobile tech
• 52% said they were increasing their use of e-details, and
• 51% said they were going to amp up their budgets for physician media channels.
Less enthusiastically embraced: journal ads, which only 19% said they were planning to put more dollars behind over the next two years.
