Breakthrough Marketing Begins With Data
Size Doesn’t Matter! “Big-Data” or small, Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM) all begins with data. And, it’s how you use that data that will set you apart from your competition; driving customer loyalty and your profits.
There’s truly gold in that data and mining it for customer insights is the first step toward marketing with much greater impact and return on investment. From precision targeting, to more relevant messaging and having the omnichannel insights customers and consumers expect, integrating and mining data is where breakthrough marketing begins.
Customer’s and consumers are in the driver’s seat! With complete information at their fingertips and numerous choices, “one size fits all” marketing has gone the way of the dinosaur. The technology for capturing, integrating and harnessing the data is prevalent. “Addressability at Scale” and personalization are the new marketing mantra.

The audience is not
brought to you or given to
you; it's something that
you fight for. You can
forget that, especially if
you've had some success.
Getting an audience is
HARD. Sustaining an
audience is HARD. It
demands a consistency of
thought, of purpose, and
of action over a long
period of time.
-- Bruce Springsteen

42. One of the World’s Largest PBM’s
(Pharmaceutical Benefits Managers)
The New England Consulting Group 42
The Situation
Our healthcare client was experiencing diminishing response rates.
Acquisition costs were rapidly spiraling upward.
Marketing plan was utilizing heavy outbound solicitation.
Mostly direct mail to “never-a-customer” base.
Plus outbound calls and emails to “past” customers/members.
Heavy use of focus groups and concept tests.
The target market was not homogenous, but highly segmented.
Segmentation was neither demographic nor psychographic, but physiographic.
Healthcare plan attitudes and intentions were closely aligned with disease states and diagnoses.
Prescription patterns were the principal marker driving “urgency”.
New England Recommendations
Harness prescription data (to which the plan had access) to time outreach.
Segment prospects by prescription patterns as a surrogate to diagnosis.
Tailor prospect messaging to market segments which were highly motivated.
Use evolutionary algorithms to accurately predict responses/behavior in response to over 100 million offers (seriously).
Beta test specifically tailored messaging to key market segments:
• Recent “Initial Diagnosis”
• Second Disease “Add a Prescription”
• Exhausted “Disease Sufferers” (older and in poorer health)
Results
One New England recommendation outperformed a half-dozen submissions from multiple agencies.
National rollout outperformed test at over 5X normal levels and 25X normal ROI.
“The insights and messaging optimization brought our segmentation to life and generated unheard of patient response rates – double digits. We enrolled over 12
million patients in the first year. It was a huge breakthrough and created an enormous amount of new value.” – VP & Chief Creative Officer, PBM
