The potential of using social media to increase awareness of healthcare issues, find health related information - and products - has become the ‘hot’ subject in pharmaceutical communications; an increasing proliferation of ‘patient-to-physician’ and ‘physician-to-physician’ websites means that healthcare information is more widely available than ever before. How can pharma be engaging in this conversation...and with whom?
Originally presented at the Social Media in Pharma workshop in London, this presentation takes a look back at where the industry has been, where many industry players are, and what's on the horizon for digital health.

1971 – The first email is sent (between
two computers sitting on the same desk).
1979 – Usernets and BBS (Bulletin Board
Systems) came online allowing users to
exchange data over phone lines.
1980 – Compuserve and Prodigy hit the
scene with the first commercial offering of
news, weather, shopping, games, and
more.
1991 – America Online launches AOL for
DOS and quickly rises to one of the most
popular online destinations with over 30
million members in its prime. Millions of
people used AOL as their first gateway to
the World Wide Web.

30. And Now a Word from…Preeti Pinto, Regulatory Affairs
PREETI PINTO
Preeti joins us today via Skype to discuss the
implications of the current lack of formal
regulatory guidance – and the creative solutions
we can reach if we work with our country‟s
regulatory officials to present possible solutions in
keeping with current regulations and guidelines.
Preeti Pinto is a regulatory and compliance expert
with over 20 years experience in the
pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, with a
strong working relationship with FDA and the
Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and
Communications (DDMAC). Her experience
extends to both drug development and marketing
of Rx products.

32. How do Consumers Use the Internet for Health?
Data from two 2011 global healthcare studies:
• Deloitte Center for Health Solutions
• Surveyed 15,735 adults in 12 countries to gauge opinions and expectations about
their health care systems
• Edelman 2011 Health Barometer
• Surveyed 15,165 adults in 12 countries to gauge opinions on health attitudes and
trends

41. The Current State of Media
• 2008 the media was declared dead by many
• In the span of three years:
• The Guardian and Washington Post create news experiences inside of FB and
syndicate complete stories here
• Network TV employs “second screen” experiences
- users can simultaneously „join in the conversation‟ on Twitter
• “Tablet only” publications are launched – e.g. The Daily, Project
• Agencies and online publications hire news heavyweights
- Facebook hired wunderkind reporter Vadim Lavrusik to help journalists use the
platform to engage their audiences
- Tumblr earlier had hired Mark Coatney from Newsweek for the same purpose.
- BBCs Richard Sambrook joined Edelman as Chief Content Officer

50. Growing Your Social Media Culture
• Digital and Social Media Guidelines/Policies
• It is important to develop clear guidelines for corporate/commercial social media programs in
order to define the “rules of engagement”
• Consider the following categories when developing social media guidelines/ policy:
INTERNAL EXTERNAL
Internal Corporate External Commercial
CORPORATE
Communications Engagement
Internal Enterprise External Employee
EMPLOYEE
Collaboration Engagement
• Process and Workflows for Social Media Platforms
• As a part of the policy/guideline development process, it is also important to establish
process and workflow for engaging in social media, in order to define
responsibilities, facilitate response timing, and determine success
• Aligned Digital Strategy
• A digital/social media strategy should not exist as a “silo”− it needs to be aligned with the
overall mission and objectives (e.g. marketing, communications, corporate strategy and
goals) 50

61. MEDICAL EDUCATION SITE &
PHYSICIAN ENGAGEMENT
We‟ve developed and executed multi-channel / audience online campaigns for
Novartis, including the ACLASTA brand team. The programme included a
branded web portal for physician engagement complimented by a disease
awareness's consumer focused campaign called Timeless Women.
Over the course of the physician programme, we worked in partnership to
develop an iPhone app which validates HCPs before granting further access to
a handy smart phone diagnosis and medication calculation tool.
To enhance point of care interaction between physicians and patients, a
„straight talking‟ animation (contained within a patient information pack) was
also developed ensuring that new ACLASTA patients felt fully informed about
their condition whilst adhering to their prescribed treatment of once yearly
ACLASTA infusion.

65. PUMA LOVES FOOTBALL
SITUATION
Edelman Digital was tasked to manage an existing PUMA Football community
utilizing Facebook, Twitter and the PUMA website blog to tie in with the World
Cup. Prior to Edelman assuming management, there very low levels of
engagement / conversation with only 15,000 Facebook fans
PROCESS
• Daily posts to the PUMA Football wall showed the community that PUMA
weren’t just interesting in ‘pushing products’, but also they were a voice for
football news in general
• We dedicated a community managed to Twitter and the PUMA Football
blog, as well as Facebook. This lead to increased activity on all three channels
and helped establish PUMA Football as a brand with a real interest in social
media.
• In addition to community management, Edelman Digital built Facebook
applications, such as King Of, that asked the public to generate profile
pictures in the style of the new PUMA creative.
RESULTS
• In 8 months the page now has in excess of 100,000 fans. This community was
grown totally organically with no media spend.
• Together with PUMA we have developed a stream of unique, engaging
content that the community likes to be involved with including bespoke ‘tab’
content and experiential activities
• The Facebook channel receives over 70,000 visits per month (equal to that of
PUMAFootball.com)
66. 7up: BRING THEM BACK FOR CRAIC
STRATEGY
Building on the insights that the Irish Diaspora is widespread and influential, and
that recent economic challenges have driven more Irish young people to move
overseas than ever before, we created a competition whereby 7 Up would bring
together a dispersed group of seven friends from home and abroad for a
massive St. Patrick’s Day party in Dublin.
EXECUTION
• Created a customised microsite to serve as the hub for the campaign
• Launched a new Irish 7 Up Facebook page and Twitter feed to act initially as
campaign elements. Later transitioned these to being of general brand value.
• Engaged key online influencers in Ireland and Irish influencers beyond Ireland
to drive conversation about the competition.
• 7 finalist teams were selected, and invited to set up their own campaigns
using the microsite and social tools.
• Developed targeted online advertising strategy to drive awareness and buzz.
RESULTS
• Delivered record social media brand impact for Ireland, and in just a two
month campaign.
• More than 27,000 votes cast by users.
• Over 52,000 unique visitors to the microsite.
• A campaign so strong and dramatic, that 7 Up wound up selecting two
winning groups.
• Improved this year, the second annual event recently wrapped up.
67. JOHNNIE WALKER: WALK WITH GIANTS
(LOCAL EXECUTION)
STRATEGY
• Illustrate Johnnie Walker’s commitment to celebrate personal progress by
showing how a selection of ‘Giants’ have progressed on their own ‘Walks’.
• Localise the global approach for Belgium while making it relevant and
inspiring to the consumer
• Position Marc Herremans as the Belgian Giant and source of inspiration for
Belgian me.
EXECUTION
• Develop and produce a film and short trailer presenting Mark’s inspiring story.
• Connect with men – 18-35 years old - through social networks and blogs but
especially by seeding the trailer and short movie of the local Giant
• Utilise the movie as a hook to garner media interest and involvement
• Create a widget for consumer to download and interact with
• Large-scale event celebrating Marc Herremans and all other ‘Giants’ of the
community
RESULTS
• Distributed in Belgium only view Facebook, blogger outreach and video sites
• 180K video views (20% over target)
• 15M consumers reached (circulation/readership)

68. LOTTOMATICA: 10 E LOTTO
OBJECTIVE
• Turn Lottomatica’s (Italy’s leading lottery) sponsorship of Roma Film Festival
into online and offline media visibility opportunity for the brand 10eLOTTO.
• Communicate 10eLOTTO brand values to the public
PROCESS
• Rely on a multimedia approach bridging online and offline media, and
strengthen partnership with Rome Film Festival.
• Created a 10eLOTTO award to be voted online and announced offline to
generate media coverage both online and offline.
• Build a website providing users with the opportunity to vote for the best
Italian actor, among a shortlist of 10 chosen by Ciak and 10&Lotto.
• Create a Facebook page - linked to the website - collecting comments and
photos to generate online conversation and participation.

2,624 clicks.
70. BIOGEN-IDEC: SUPPORTING MS PATIENTS
Situtation and challenge? Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition which affects around
100,000 people in the UK; it‟s a complex area and has many symptoms but patients may not
experience them all and certainly not at the same time - MS is different for everyone. Biogen Idec
has a heritage in treatments for the disease but the market place is crowded and online resources
equally vast amongst an active online patient demographic (most people diagnosed between the
ages of 20-40).
Strategic Approach and Tactics? Our client had a web presence established in the area but the old site
achieved little traffic and it‟s message(s) were convoluted due to trying speak to both HCPs and
patients. By targeting the campaign to one specific audience, patients and friends / relatives, we
were able to produce a more conducive narrative which addressed the needs of the site visitors.

71. ONCOLOGY FRANCHISE: RARE CANCERS
LANDSCAPE ANALYSIS
Edelman Digital conducted an extensive landscape analysis, across English language
speaking markets, examining the online dialogue and behaviour patterns in relation to
rare cancers. We discovered a clearly defined online conversation about rare cancers
as a whole, being talked about online by a wide range of stakeholders. The
conversation is not confined to the scientific or HCP communities with NGO’s holding
significant influence.
By connecting with the specialist cancer
groups first, coalescing them into an
influential a bloc, which will then help to win
the support of the mainstream cancer
charities for a lobbying campaign. Once a
campaign is established, targeted activity in
non-cancer forums (e.g. influential, online
organisations such as Mumsnet) can help to
amplify the key messages
72. SCHERING-PLOUGH NASONEX®:
ONLINE GAME
Edelman developed an interactive health game to educate consumers on
product benefits and drive name brand recognition and requests. The game
serves as a platform for blogger and traditional media outreach, leveraging the
connection between allergies and global warming to appeal to the target‟s
affinity for environmental causes.
In the first six months, more than 5,500 unique visitors played “Don‟t Blow It”
more than 10,000 times and the game drove more than 4,000 new visitors to
the brand site.
73. ABOUT MEMORY PROBLEMS
Launched in March 2010, aboutmemoryproblems.com is a disease awareness
website built for the Pfizer Aricept team. The primary site audience is targeted
to Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers. As an entirely consumer facing
site, all copy is fully referenced for archiving but is posted on-screen without the
standard medical citations giving the site a more accessible feel to „consumers‟.
The site was supported by a full SEM campaign from launch whilst rich media
is embedded from StreamingWell.com (health video hosting site) to capture a
wider promotional reach. Designed specifically for multi language use, a Greek
version of the site was also launched with additional languages planned to give
the campaign a truly global reach.
From launch to 6 months the site captured over 48,000 visits, with more than
44,000 of those being unique visitors – make sure the right message met the
widest audience possible.
74. DOVE:
BRINGING GLOCAL TO LIFE
SITUATION
• Unilever’s Dove brand is one of the highest profile part of its product
portfolio.
• Edelman identified an opportunity for the brand to bring to life its core
mission and product value by engaging fans through Facebook.
EXECUTION
• The Platform Engine: Provided by the global team, it allowed creation of a
global page, a page for every market, and a Facebook tab for every product
area or campaign.
• The ‘Always On’ Stream: Provided by the global team, it’s a stream of basic
content that goes to all country pages (with the markets providing
translations), and drives global, masterbrand equity.
• The ‘Activiation’ Stream: Run by local market teams, with as much of little as
the team wants. Global team members oversea activity, provide advice and
training, as well as content ideas.
RESULTS
• Dramatically increased the number of customers engaged with the brand.
(Now more than 250,000, off a base of essentially zero)
• Successfully managed palm oil and other issues that NGOs have tried to use
to disrupt the page

one of the “shining stars” on both
Facebook and social media in
general.”

The evolution of advocacy: traditional to onlineAdvocacy has always been social, and now we’re taking this online. It is all about raising awareness, but the channels have evolved. With new ways to communicate and reach people, we need to use different tools to make this outreach broader.
About the MapThis shows the universe size of active social networks for each market and then segments users into three behavior types: Messengers, Groupers and Content Sharers. This behavioral data is based on the number of detailed questions we conduct into the way that consumers use social networks. Because social networking is now so big and touches every aspect of our internet experience, this detail is essential for the effective planning and implementation of marketing activity across social networks. This data reveals that users across the world are very different in how they utilize their network, with more focus on messaging and less on content sharing in established markets like the US and UK but more focus on content and groups in fast growing markets like Indonesia and China.
Now that you know your audience is there, and where they are, listen to what they are saying
Start slow and then broaden slope. Insights – Listen!Engage – make some friends;Connect with audience on their turf;Become a trusted, curator content;LeadThe “Crawl/Walk/Run/Fly” model is a simple way to introduce a transition to further online engagement. Determine your organization’s current position online to help plan next steps. Some organizations will touch on more than one level and specific tactics in each level may not be fitting for everyone; these are simply examples. Also be aware that goals for engagement vary by organization and no organization should be forced to fit into the final stage if it doesn’t fit the organization’s nature.
Insights – Listen!It is important to understand who you’re trying to reach and how they’re already behaving online. Start with research – conduct a baseline conversation and online influencer audit to get a strong understanding of your audience’s behaviors online (the conversations they’re having, where they’re going, what they’re saying).
Engage – make some friends;Take your engagement a step further and begin interactions and conversations online. This may includecommenting on other’s blog posts online. Expand your network. In order to do so, you’ll need to ensure you have the proper channels in place, such as determining your organization’s level of engagement and identifying 1-3 internal people to manage the effort and be the voice of the organization online.
Connect with audience on their turf;This phase is about taking larger strides in proactively engaging with the online community. This might include blogger outreach or sharing video podcasts.
Become a trusted, curator content;Lead and manage the discussion! Drive the conversation and bring the community together. Remember, through all phases you must monitor conversations to understand what the community is saying and doing (and adjust your engagement tactics)
Build a community and cultivate a relationship with its members BEFORE you need them to act on your behalf.Don’t expect new followers or fans to instantly embrace your brand/organization .They may be drawn to your message, but won’t necessarily mobilize their influence or advocate on your behalf until they know more of the narrative – and what they’re signing up for.
Formal language and press release won’t workZandt uses an analogy of speaking to people on Twitter and Facebookin the same way you would to a co-worker you don’t know very well – there is a personal touch that needs to be appliedWhen engaging online, think about it in terms of having a conversation – not broadcasting to someone. Take time to listen and respond
Amazon example – authors turned to Twitter when books on feminism and gay rights began to disappear from Amazon.com search results. The Twitter community grabbed onto the story and #AmazoneFail quickly became a popular trending topic, attracting media attention and forcing Amazon to react almost immediately to the backlash
Big numbers aren’t always neededBig numbers don’t necessarily get big results – building relationships with a smaller base of dedicatedadvocates willing to share your message is more important than having a lot of followers along for the rideAim for numbers proportionate to the cause – Zandt’s example : Parents in Florida began sharing frustrations with the public school system via social media sites. They mobilized via a group on Facebook, which landed them a meeting with the school board where they got their concerned addressed. In this case 8,000 members got the job done.
