RESULTS The Digital IQ
Index ranks brands according to their digital competence, with each falling into one of five categories: 140+ GENIUS Digital competence is a point of competitive differentiation for these brands. Their sites are search optimized, aesthetically engaging, functional, interactive, and offer clear calls to action. These brands are highly visible advertisers on consumer health portals and elsewhere online and experiment on the edge of the network with social media content. 110-139 GIFTED Sites are crawlable, brand enhancing, and include calls to action. Brands typically advertise on health portals, are highly visible on top search engines, and offer email marketing. 90-109 AVERAGE Brand sites are functional yet predictable. Innovation efforts are uninspired and lack ambition. Boilerplate marketing online and in email. 70-89 CHALLENGED These brands offer little content online. Bare-bones sites provide only basic drug information. Engagement is limited to web property, and digital campaigns are an afterthought. <70 FEEBLE Brands have largely ignored the digital phenomenon. Sites lack basic functionality and navigability, and brands disregard digital marketing initiatives. © L2 2010 RESULTS: the rankings 5

sites offer savings to current users, effectively diminishing the profitability of those sales, although there may be gains in market share when the drug is in a head-to-head battle with a major competitor. The creation of unbranded education- oriented sites is a popular technique to market drugs before approval by the FDA. Once a drug is FDA- approved, the use of unbranded sites declines. Still, 47% of brands in the study maintain a microsite to comple- ment their branded site’s disease education content. Comparatively, the unbranded site www.symbicort.com typically generates significantly fewer unique visitors than a branded site, even when offering better disease education information and technology integration. For example, Advair.com has more than 16 times as many visitors as its arguably superior un- branded counterpart, Asthma.com. Low traffic combined with the danger www.viagra.com of competitive brands benefiting from www.viagra.com other’s unbranded efforts, calls into question their longer-term value. www.abilify.com © L2 2010 FINDINGS 15
