Having the Conversation with Pharmaceuticals and BiotechsMariano Di Fabio
What we will cover • What are we talking about when we refer to “Social Media?” • How is the industry involved in Social Media today? • What does the FDA say about Social Media? • How can the industry get involved?
1. What is “Social Media?” • Social Media is Web 2.0 • Simplicity and being social • Social Media is interactive • Social Media is a dialog
2. How is the industry social? • Best Example: J&J BTW • Run by Marc Monseau, blog & Twitter • Merck: Gardasil on Facebook • Bayer Group: Bayer Aspirin on Facebook • AstraZeneca: Arimidex Community site • Novartis on Twitter
3. FDA input • Initial response: Social media okay for message delivery • Documenting recommendations for internet and social media usage for fall release • Main concern: direct-to-consumer information is accurate and complete
4. Industry Involvement • Blogging: Adopt J&J’s model for blogging and providing community value • Twitter: Could follow the Novartis model, but difficult to adapt • Facebook: Follow Merck or Bayer model • Unique social networking site targeted at Life Sciences professional.
