AI-Powered Marketing Mix Modeling: Maximize ROI for Your Drug Launch

Limitations of Traditional Methods

Many pharma companies still rely on basic spreadsheets or outdated MMM approaches. Here’s what often goes wrong:

• Lagging insights. By the time you see results, the launch window has passed.
• Manual processes. Models need constant human intervention. Time-consuming.
• Low granularity. You get high-level ROIs, but no micro-insights on specific HCP segments.
• Poor real-time adjustment. Reforecasting mid-launch is painful, often ignored.

In short, traditional methods leave you flying blind when you need a clear flight path.

The result? You get dynamic launch ROI forecasting that guides every decision—before and during your launch campaign.

How Smart Launch Innovates Launch ROI Forecasting

1. Real-Time Data Integration

Forget waiting weeks for fresh numbers. Smart Launch connects to your core systems:

• CRM and HCP engagement logs
• Digital ad platforms (search, social, display)
• Field force activity trackers
• Anonymised patient-level claims

Every hour, your model updates. Every shift in the market feeds into your forecasts.

2. Predictive Analytics & Scenario Simulation

With Smart Launch, you can:

• Run “what-if” scenarios in seconds.
• Identify diminishing returns by channel.
• Allocate budgets where incremental ROI peaks.

It’s like having a flight simulator for your marketing budget—test dozens of flight paths before take-off.

3. Tailored Competitive Intelligence

Know your competitors’ moves. Track:

• New product launches
• Ad spend changes
• Formulary or pricing shifts

Then, overlay that data on your MMM model. Adjust your tactics to stay ahead.
