What it is

“Medical review belongs in the production schedule, not at the end of it.”

A principal, Kaelo Digital Marketing

Pharmaceutical marketing here means business-to-business communication: distributors, pharmacies, procurement functions and healthcare professionals, within the advertising restrictions that apply in each market. Direct-to-consumer prescription promotion is prohibited across our markets and we do not attempt it. What remains is a trade communications problem with an unusually strict compliance surface.

What’s included

Four areas of scope
01

Trade and professional channels

Professional networks, endemic medical publishers and trade press permit targeting that the consumer platforms restrict, with their own compliance requirements attached.

02

Restriction mapping by market

What may be said, to whom, in which market, differs substantially. A campaign compliant in one jurisdiction is not automatically compliant next door.

03

Approval workflow built in

Medical, legal and regulatory review is part of the production schedule rather than a checkpoint at the end. Treating it as the latter is why pharma campaigns run late.

04

Corporate and distribution communications

Much of what pharma actually needs is supply, distribution and corporate communication rather than product promotion — and that carries a lighter compliance burden.

When to come to us

  1. 01 You are communicating to trade, professional or procurement audiences.
  2. 02 You need corporate or distribution communications rather than product promotion.
  3. 03 You have a review function we can build the schedule around.

What we do not do

  • Direct-to-consumer prescription promotion. It is prohibited in our markets and we will decline the brief.
  • Any clinical, efficacy or safety claim — those come from your medical function.
  • Running creative that has not completed your own review process.

Common questions

Can you run consumer campaigns for a prescription product?
No. Direct-to-consumer prescription promotion is not permitted in the markets we serve. Disease-awareness and corporate communication are different categories with their own rules, and those we can work on.
Who writes the clinical content?
Your medical function. We do not write, approve or advise on clinical claims in any market.
