"Uncertainty can be a Guiding Light" To truly leverage the power of social networks, Pharma need to understand the principle of open innovation and learn to live with (and take) communication risk. The FDA will never give crystal clear guidelines on social media. Their existing statements is all the real direction any compnay needs

- 45. DTC: Direct to Customer •Cost of patient non-compliance = $30 Billion •Companies will focus on adherence as much as acquisition • High produced educational videos vs. hard to read drug information text • Both public facing videos (disease content) and password protected (product direct content) video. May not be consider DTC. • Same energy and production values in pre-purchase should be applied to post purchase
- 46. • Focus on Global Corporation Communications • Brand as publisher: Educational non-branded content • The New DTC = Direct to Customer

Editor's Notes
- Good Afternoon. My name is Brad McCormick I am the Global Digital Director at Porter Novelli. Unfortunately Peter Pitts, our Global Director of Regulatory as Porter Novell (as well as a former FDA Commission could not be here today). He is attending to a client matter in Moscow But I am very happy to be here in his place and hope that I will make for a suitable replacement.
- The title of my presentation is “Pharma, The FDA, and Social Media”—uncertainity can be a guidling light.That phrase—”Uncertainity can a be guiding light” actually comes for a much overlooked u2 album—I am a big U2 fan—call Zooropa. The album was written about the confusion in Europe after the fall of the berlin wall, where the old ways no longer worked and everything seems new and confusing. In many ways, I think pharma marketing is in similar light of uncertainity and I hope to explain today why I think if pharma really wants to leverage digital and pharma uncertainity is something that must be embraced
- I also want to point out that I know how serious this stuff is. This is a picture of my cousin Robert Ruffino and his family. About 8 years ago, Robert was diagnosed with Chronic Mylod Leukemia or CML. Had he been diagnosed a few years earlier ,he probably would not have survived.
- Fact #1 – The world is getting older, faster 69,0000Pew Research recently released a study stating that starting in 2011, 10000 Americans will reach retirement age everyday for the next 19 years. These are individual whose health and life expectancy will depend in part on the products that phamaceturial industry manufacturer
- In Pharma DTC advertising used to be safe bet. That is, a pharma market knew if he or she spent x amount of dollar on a DTC, they could expect Y among of people to visit their doctor. I have heard anywhere from 25 to 60% of those visits results in a new diagnoses and a new prescription.But like with every other industry, those traditional market9ing are proving less effective. People don’t watch TV the way their used to, nor do they consumer print they way they used to. Many don’t ever consumer print.Just as there are fewer and few block buster drugs in the pipeline, there are fewer blockbuster marketing budgets. As such, Pharma needs to find new way to reach its audience, raise awareness and get people into their doctors office.
- More people now visit facebook than google. Social Networking—2 way conversations—is becoming the domoninant dynamic online.
- You might have seen this op-ed that ran in the Boston Globe back in Jan. In it, two researchers are
- Imagine buying an HD TV but only showing Black & White programs on it.
- Pfizer recently launched a Youtube channel where they actual solicit adverse events from their consumer
- R
- Right now only four countries allow any form of DTC pharma advertising: the US, New Zeland, Banglesh, and South Korea.I think both because tightening budgets and how I think pharma is going ultimately embrace social media you will see a risining of marketing activity that benitis both DTC countries and countries, like cananda, that do not.
- The reasons are two fold:1) One while I have tried to make the case that it is permissible for pharma to engage in social media dialogue about its products the truth of the matter is that very few pharma companies are likely to embrace branded social media dialogue full force. Therefore the most “explicit” use of pharma social media will be via non-branded corporate communications that benefits nearly every locale. All of the examples I have show by the way are corp com. Rise of “Branded Generics”…would you rather purchase a generic from Company X or from Johnson & Johnson?Rise of Generics in emerging markets for price sensitivityWill help in talent recruitment
- Brand as publisher-You will see more non-branded educational content created on the web with higher production values2 fold:To combat misinformationSearch engine optimizationAnd continue to establish trust between a corp manufacturer and patient.
