Background“Shrinking marketing teams and budgets, monumental sales expectations and increasingly competitive therapeutic categories necessitate that we approach marketing in provocative ways,” said Anne Devereux, Chief Executive Officer of LyonHeart and TBWAWorldHealth. “By turning TBWAs award-winning Disruption process on ourselves, were ‘walking the walk.’ We’ve developed processes for building brand superiority and driving profitability in a way that addresses the new realities of the marketplace, and we’re attracting talent that gets ‘jazzed’ by thinking outside of traditional marketing parameters.”
Questions/Topics Discussed- How is pharmaceutical marketing changing and why do we need to challenge convential wisdom?
- What does the Disruption process entail?
- Can you describe how you applied this process to your agency and how that relates to your clients and their brands?
