Client Stories
How we guided a large pharmaceutical company towards a strong digital strategy based on target group insights
The marketing team of our client, a large pharmaceutical company, wanted to improve their communication towards healthcare professionals. This resulted in 3 main questions:
- Persona profiling: what are the needs, behavior and media behavior of this changing target group of healthcare professionals, especially millennial healthcare professionals?
- Communication SWOT: looking at the objectives, how effective is the communication towards the target group today?
- Inspiration: what are best practices from other (healthcare) companies?
They reached out to The House of Marketing to build a strong digital strategy based on target group insights.
