Part 2: Innovation
Innovation is an integral part of the pharma and biotech industry, driven by medicines and technology, yet studies suggest key stakeholders do not perceive the industry as innovative. To improve this perception, the pharma / biotech industry will need to drive innovation in areas beyond science and technology, such as marketing. In the second of our 4-part series ‘The Pharma Marketing Reset,’ we share and discuss insights from interviews conducted with senior industry professionals across different geographies and companies. These include:
1 – The current pharma / biotech marketing innovation enablers and barriers
2 – How these can be addressed to promote future innovation
Moreover, we provide suggestions as to how pharma brand teams could themselves introduce greater innovation: generating deeper insights and exploring innovative non-promotional programmes, multichannel marketing, and personalised digital channels.
