For the last 10 years pharmaceutical industry is shifting from traditional way of promotion through medical reps to consumer oriented channels – offline and online media. But in general there is lack of understanding how to connect business and marketing needs with media KPIs and what goals we need to focus on with the media agency.
Mostly Eurasia countries are not so developed within media buying and are based on agency recommendations who mostly work with FMCG companies. But pharmaceutical market sometimes follows FMCG rules with pharma specific points.
I’ve developed regional approach for media planning (both offline and online) that was used for each brand in media in Eurasia region.
We have 120 brands in promo and the approach decreased time of briefing, strategy preparation and helps us to check the acceptance of the planning.
After that global teams also moved to this approach
