Digital Pharma West

Pre-Conference Workshops Begin – June 28, 2010

WORKSHOP A
9:00
Exploring Digital Marketing Topics from a 360° Perspective (Operations, eMarketing & Brand) with Daiichi Sankyo

John Vieira, Shawn O'Hagan and Tam Ngo will lead an interactive workshop that combines slide presentations, group discussions, Q&A and breakout sessions.

The main topics that will be explored include the following:

TOPIC 1: Mobile Marketing - Is Your Brand Message At Hand?

• How is mobile changing the practice of medicine and the distribution of brand communications?
• What new possibilities does changing technology mean for customer engagement?
• Explore new ways to leverage mobile marketing to interact and engage with your target audience

TOPIC 2: Small Brand, Small Budget? Moving Beyond The Brochure

• See how a new digital focus is enabling small-population brands to thrive and how the lessons of those brands provide an example for all
• What can large brands learn from small brands?
• How can the internet provide a new highly efficient opportunity for small treatment populations?

TOPIC 3: Social Networks and Social Media - Leveraging Relationship Networks for Your Brand

Often termed “thought-leader influence”, or “peer-to-peer promotion”, in many ways pharma has used network influence for years. Advances in network identification technologies and the burgeoning social media scene provide the groundwork for new possibilities in pharmaceutical promotion.

• Why many organizations have developed influence network maps - yet fail to use this information in a productive way
• Can a company build “proprietary” networks knowledge and foster competitive advantage? How to go beyond the dinner program and activate peer-to-peer in new ways
• Learn how to know if your brands are good candidates for leveraging social media and what your organization needs to do to be ready

Challenges for Chronic Lifetime Diseases and How Synchronized Online and Clinical Specialist Programs Build Patient Adherence

The care and management of patients with chronic illnesses must be followed closely and modified as patients mature and grow. Patient adherence at different stages of life may have less to do with medicine and much more to do with outside relationships and activities. In an attempt to ensure appropriate care, extended life and improved quality of life, relationship marketing can provide the tools to build loyalty.

In this case study, see how:

Clinical specialists are at the front lines talking with health care professionals to help raise adherence levels

The coordinated efforts between eMarketing and sales can be utilized to provide education, answers and support throughout the many stages of living with a chronic disease

GETTING TO THE POINT: How Social Media and Other New Platforms Demand Brevity in Marketing Communications

With the explosion of digital and social media--glossy publications, wordy ads and long sentences are becoming extinct faster than anyone thought. At the same time, Twitter, MySpace and other social media are creating new opportunities for those who can articulate their brand’s essence---in 10 words or less. This session will focus on:

• Selecting key points relevant for your customer base
• Building your message with social media in mind
• Knowing what NOT to do in digital marketing space
• Getting your point across in the age of short attention spans

Understanding Physician's Behavior Online

The channels to reach physicians continues to evolve. The 2010 Digital Pharma conference has become the leading experimental forum for the industry to explore how technolgy, innovation and social media are changing the way we interact on-line with patients and physicians.

In order to achieve such lofty goals we first must understand physician behavior on-line. Via the use of a proprietary panel-based methodology- not survey methods which can be subject to recall bias- I will utilize and present data captured from the ImpactRx/comScore software solution which passively observes the online behaviors of opt-in U.S. physicians.

This data will enable the audience to truly understand physician's Internet usage patterns, including site visitation measured in both frequency and minutes spent, engagement and search behaviors, and leverage these insights in order to begin to drive marketing and business strategies.

At the conclusion of the presentation the audience will better understand the following:

• Where physicians spend time online?
• What are the high value sites that physicians go to?
• Better understand social media within the physician community.
• Where higher prescribing physicians are spending their time as compared to a lower prescribing set?
• What are the search characterstics of physicians? Better yet how they actually search!

Analyzing Online Conversations from RA Patients on the Web:  What Social Media Can Teach Us about the Patient Journey

Healthcare consumers are flocking to the social Web to post about their experiences with a given disease and the treatments they hope will help fight it. State-of-the-art search software is available to capture and process these conversations, meaning pharma has access to a wealth of consumer dialogues. Yet ‘listening’ to patients doesn’t mean we’re hearing them. For one month, HealthEd health educators and strategists mined through some of the thousands of conversations about rheumatoid arthritis occurring in the social media. Jeff Greene presents findings from that effort, including implications for brands across every disease category:

• What is the patient journey and how can it inform communications planning for pharma brands?
• How can online conversations help us understand the patient journey for a given disease?
• What are some common barriers to RA treatment, and how did we find them on the Web?
• How can brands identify knowledge gaps or myths and address them through patient education?

UNCONFERENCE SESSION 

Digital Pharma is leading the way in the industry by incorporating “Unconference” ideas into the framework of the event. The traditional format of having speakers talk “At” the audience for 40 minutes followed by an uninspired, brief Q&A is over. People simply do not communicate that way anymore. Openness, collaboration, free flowing, listening before talking—attendees will learn how to bring these concepts into their communications in both theory and practice—by learning from the best practices of peers and by sharing and listening within this new format. This special concluding session will have the attendees sit around in a circle and have a frank conversation with no pre-planned agenda. What topics will be discussed? We don’t know either…come join us and find out!
