4th Annual DigiPharm Europe And Pharma Marketing Show, 24-27 September 2012, London

Date: Aug-20-2012Can mobile and social media be successfully integrated into a multichannel communication marketing strategy? This question is one that seems to be constantly queried within the pharma industry with a lot of marketing teams questioning how they are going to use new mobile technology effectively.

We recently asked Kevin Michels-Kim, Co-founder & Digital Strategist, Starling GmbH, about integrating mobile and social media into a multichannel communication strategy and why this is such an important topic?

"Until very recently, pharma hasn't often struggled to have a voice in the health industry. Large, ubiquitous sales forces and significant marketing budgets have ensured that pharma's messages could be delivered with sufficient reach and frequency. That dominance is declining with greater physician-imposed limitations on rep visits and the increasingly popularity of mobile and social media. The number of channels has multiplied and customers are segmented in very different ways than just a few years ago. Pharma communications strategy used to be optimized for one channel, the sales rep. Today, if you want to reach your target customers, communications strategy needs to be optimized and delivered across a whole variety of channels."

Kevin will be delivering a workshop at Digipharm Europe 2012 in September. The workshop is on Integrating mobile and social media into multichannel communications strategies and will look at these channels through recent examples of real-world implementations. Participants will come away with an understanding of multichannel strategy and some specific ideas of what to try in their own companies

The 4th annual DigiPharm Europe 2012 (25 - 27 September 2012, Grange Tower Bridge, London, UK) will discuss where digital fits into your multi channel strategy and provide case studies giving examples of implementation.
