The Beyond Blue Way
A true strategic partner providing tangible deliverables that actually impact brand success
Bringing blockbuster drugs that address significant medical needs to market is still considered the hallmark of productive, innovative R&D. In 2018, 56% of all prescription drug sales of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies came from blockbusters. This trend is set to continue, with forecasts predicting ~10% of total drug sales in 2024 will be from the top 10 ‘mega blockbusters’, which have peak-year sales greater than US$5 billion. However, let’s take stock and not forget the time, clinical and marketing effort and $$ bringing a successful brand to market; with only 1 in every 10 brand actually achieving their sales forecast and only 1 in every 10 asset actually making it to market!
We truly recognise the mounting pressures involved in new drug launches
The importance of getting it ‘right’ first time and the potential difficulty recovering from a slow start fortifies the critical importance of understanding and listening to your customers and generating a value proposition that speaks to their multi-faceted needs (personal, clinical and emotional).
We understand the issues you face
Whether you are seeking a differentiated space for your brand and looking to identify the true commercial VALUE it can bring (despite clinically being only moderately differentiated) or are looking to pressure test your product with superior data (despite the glowing feedback in PMR, you want to be prepared and fully explore any potential barriers), moving beyond stated response and delving beneath the skin of customers generates differentiating and compelling communications.
