3 Key Social Media Priorities for the Pharmaceutical Industry
1. The Digital Customer Journey
Optimising the customer journey across multiple touch points will be very important for companies' marketing for the coming future. Healthcare and pharma companies are 14% more likely than their peers in other sectors to consider customer journey management as a priority in 2017.* Listening to how the patient audience is interacting with a brand, as well as what they are saying, can help marketing teams better assess how their patients understand their condition and the brand’s role in managing that condition.
(Agenda Highlight) - Day 1 | @9:50 | Steve Reeves, Director, Social Intelligence, DRG Digital
Presentation Title: Case study: How to Map Out and Understand A Patient’s Journey
2. Wearable Technologies
The boom in wearables that collect lifestyle and fitness data is of huge benefit to an industry whose wealth of existing data is often locked up by regulation or in non-digitized formats. A truly digital-first industry could mean a reduction in health problems, as lifestyle monitoring tools begin to predict and prevent them before they arise; it could mean that health is not defined by the absence of ailments or disease, but by a person’s wellbeing and lifestyle. Companies within the sector would be able to shift their focus to prevention rather than treatment. Digital technologies are making it easy for patients to access and track their health information, at the same time facilitating seamless communication with their providers.*
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are being incorporated into new healthcare technologies and systems, with uses ranging from training doctors in operating techniques to gamifying patient treatment plans.*
(Agenda Highlight) - Day 1 | @ 15:50 | Andreas Haimboeck-Tichy, UK Director for Healthcare and Life Sciences, IBM
Presentation Title: The development of a Watson-Powered "Virtual Personal Assistant"
3. Content is Key
Social media is a powerful communication and content distribution tool, and healthcare and pharma companies clearly recognize this. The industry is using content as a way of meeting the needs of consumers who are playing a more active role in their healthcare choices. Though historically, content has been mainly used by pharma companies marketing to healthcare professionals. Content is gradually earning its place in healthcare campaigns, and the next few years will see content creation and storytelling emerging as prominent, very much in-demand skills. One of the best ways for companies to appeal to a range of different audiences is through tailored content, and some big players are using it to their advantage.*
(Agenda Highlight) - Day 2 | @9:50 | Sebastian Soithongsuk, Global Content Manager, Digital Comms, GSK
Presentation Title: Why The Social Media Content Should Be Less "Promotional" & More About Storytelling
