Launching a new drug in Europe today isn’t just about data sheets and press releases. It’s about immersive, interactive experiences that speak directly to healthcare professionals, payers and patients. With AI-powered launch design, you can craft digital campaigns that adapt in real time, boost engagement, and drive adoption.
Why Interactive Strategies Matter in Pharma
Pharma launches face unique obstacles:
- Complex scientific data
- Diverse stakeholder groups
- Tight compliance rules
- Information overload
The result? Up to 90 % of drug launches underperform. Ouch.
The good news? Interactive digital tactics cut through noise. Think dynamic microsites, live webinars, virtual demos, and chatbots that guide users step by step. When combined with AI-powered launch design, these elements turn static campaigns into ongoing conversations.
“It felt like the platform knew exactly what our audience needed—before they even asked.”
