Case Study 1
Scenario
A top 10 pharmaceutical client had not marketed their product in 3 years and required urgent stakeholder mapping (~10 KOLs) from scratch – no existing relationships were in place. MMD were asked to contact, meet in person, establish a relationship, and build a lasting partnership with the identified KOLs.
Our Solution
MMD identified a network of KOLs and formed relationships on behalf of the client. We initially conducted a round table to discuss therapy area and educational needs. The KOLs were engaged in service agreements to record educational webinars and create treatment guidelines. We also played a key role in assisting the KOLs with the development of content for the educational material.
We subsequently delivered the prepared content to our client ahead of the product re-launch.
End Result
- Established a highly regarded and engaged KOL network for the client.
- Clearer focus on areas of education that aligned with needs in clinical practice.
- Re-launch of brand which was more successful with expert content to complement company-produced materials.
