DHC Group and Intouch Group Publish Whitepaper on Effectively Engaging Audiences in the COVID-19 Era

NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The DHC Group and Intouch Group announced that, together, they have published a new whitepaper titled The Now & The Next in Pharma Marketing. The whitepaper delves deep into practical solutions for the challenges pharmaceutical commercial organizations continue to face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Areas covered include evolving the pharmaceutical marketing commercial strategy, real-world solutions and specific tactics to implement now, even as COVID-19 vaccines are beginning to be administered.

In the fall of 2020, Intouch Group and DHC Group partnered to undertake quantitative and qualitative research to explore how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted — and continues to impact — pharmaceutical sales and marketing. Interviews with 22 senior-level stakeholders were conducted; surveys were fielded to 33 pharma executives and 250 physicians in the specialties of primary care, dermatology, gastroenterology, neurology, rheumatology, hematology, and oncology. Themes explored include rep access, telehealth, EHR/EMR opportunities, reviving new prescriptions and more.

"Thanks to some outstanding pharmaceutical science and grit, vaccines are on the way, and an end to the pandemic is in sight," said Intouch Group CEO Faruk Capan. "Nevertheless, our clients tell us they still need solutions they can implement now. This whitepaper is filled with data, lessons, and new ideas for what's happening now, plus solutions for what comes next."

"Most brands recognize the world changed – perhaps forever – in 2020," said Mark Bard, co-founder of DHC Group. "While a minority of brands and organizations are content to 'wait and see' what 2021 will deliver, the majority have already put innovation efforts into overdrive as they prepare for the data-driven, tech-enabled, and outcomes-focused future of healthcare."
