Part 4: Strategies for improving CX
The complexity of having diverse customers with different needs, expectations and channel preferences as well as the competitiveness of the pharma / biotech industry, makes the role of a marketer increasingly challenging. In recent years, many drug launches have underperformed and one of the key differentiating factors between many successful and unsuccessful launches is the customer experience. Consequently, the final part of our 4-part series ‘The Pharma Marketing Reset’ explores customer-centric engagement in the pharmaceutical industry. We focus on how pharma brand teams can create strategies to deliver superior, differentiating customer experiences. Key elements include:
1 – Leveraging social science and behaviour change models
2 – Using Big Data to create personalised marketing
3 – Maximising the relevance of online marketing content for specific customers
Our final recommendation is to shape the ideal training a pharma marketer should receive to thrive and make a difference in today’s non-linear world of pharmaceutical and biotech marketing.
