Healthcare PR sure isn’t what it used to be. And just when you think you’ve figured it out, someone changes the rules on you again.
A Complex and Politicized Environment
Attacks on the reputations of drug developers and other healthcare delivery organizations . . . battles over pricing, safety, marketing practices, advocacy relations . . . the increased role of healthcare in global and domestic political debates. . .an aging population… and the list goes on. Add to this the burgeoning access to information from both traditional and digital media sources and you have the potential for dramatic failure or dynamic success nearly every day.
Communications Professionals as Global Lynchpin
At the center of this maelstrom is the challenge of connecting the dots between the legal, regulatory, marketing, policy, financial, medical, customer, and media stakeholders. The growing interdependence of global markets and the need for global promotional strategies makes the multifaceted even more complex.
Promotional Mix Is Changing
Marketing and promotions clients are now searching for new models in communicating effectively to healthcare professionals and consumers because of diversification and splintering of print, broadcast, and online media outlets, and the diminishing returns of direct sales.
