Marketing ROI For a Global Pharma Company Using Market Mix Modeling

Written by Admin | Mar 4, 2019 12:46:00 PM

Life sciences companies spend an average 10-12% of their total company budget on marketing1. Companies need to manage this spend intelligently to maximize ROI.

In today’s world where digital, influencer-based, and personal promotions need to work together to affect decision outcomes, brand leaders must identify channels that connect with the target audience and focus on the ones that provide maximum return on their marketing investment.

A pharma company's promotional strategies were proving to be ineffective which was impacting sales growth. The company wanted to focus on 3 key elements:

1. Existing channel spends
2. ROI on the promotional channels and channel mix
3. Guidance on future campaign execution based on insights from the analysis
