Being able to build awareness about a scheduled medical product, without mentioning the name of the brand and jumping through all the red tape and hoops that come with advertising medical brands on consumer facing digital PPC and social platforms.
Objectives
B2C awareness around the ailment that the product provides treatment for using a website that has relevant, interactive content. To encourage people to contact their Doctor if they are suffering from symptoms. Build Doctor awareness and drive them to the website to get resources for them only.
Challenges
Very small digital budget. The challenge of communicating to an audience to build awareness without being able to mention the product name. No former digital presence to consumer or the Doctors. Communication with Doctors through social media.
Solution
Website
Build a website for consumer info and a backend login capability so that the Doctor can get access to clinical content. Create a geolocation platform “Find a Dr Near me” functionality that makes it easier for them to contact a Doctor.
Content
Create content that is interactive and simple for the user, create a form where they can check their symptoms.
Ads
Social Media – We then used creative and visual social media ads to drive traffic to the website.
Google Ads – We also used Google ads to drive traffic to specific pages on the website, it is still the biggest means of traffic to the site.
LinkedIn Inmail messages were used to target the Health Care Professionals. The message has a direct link to the Doctor portal where they can get more info and Doctor resources.
We have also used Media 24 advertorials and Futuretech geolocation targeting.
