Marketers often think that everything is new in the digital world. They have simply forgotten the first principle, which is to serve the customers – to have a customer-centric view and not a product-centric one.
Catalyzed by the pandemic, the pharma industry quickly progressed from being digitally agnostic to a state of preparedness.
The shift required the industry to experiment with technology in its customer-facing plans, which resulted in many cases the creation of random acts of digital, often without a cohesive overarching strategy.
Can pharma do better? The answer lies in understanding the utility of their digital assets while building a mindset to transform, and ensuring that teams within the organization do not work at cross-purposes.
