12. Digital in Pharma
“Pharma is about a thousand years behind everything else you see in
consumer (marketing). Pharma has made progress but it is being held
back by its own nervousness. If there is a conservative interpretation
of the rules, and a very conservative interpretation of the rules and
then an insanely conservative interpretation of them – Pharma will
go with the insanely conservative one”
Pharma Insider quoted in PMGroup 2012 Digital Year Book
Yet Pharma has embraced the digital revolution:
– Kai Gait, Digital Marketing Director at GlaxoSmithKline
– Francesco Raimo, Digital Director at Life Healthcare
– John Pugh, Director of Digital at Boehringer
13. Case Study: Syrum by Boehringer
“ … For (John) Pugh, it’s clearly about learning – both for pharma and
those playing the game. Indeed, part of the rationale for a beta launch
is to allow players to shape the direction of the game, as he admits “we
don’t know where it’s going to go, that’s the exciting thing about it – it’s
a very unpharma approach, it’s a more Silicon Valley approach”.
Paul Tunnah, Pharma Phorum
