Product

Oral Antibiotic

Client

Mid-size Japanese Pharmaceutical Company entering the U.S.

Critical Challenges

  • Client acquired an under-promoted antibiotic. Product had changed hands throughout its life cycle, receiving varying levels of promotional support
  • Brand needed to be re-launched into primary care and pediatrics during peak season

Objectives

  • Stop the erosion of brand, and quickly establish footing in a highly competitive market place, capitalizing on the antibiotic season

Solution

  • Client enlisted the entire Select Access Team to promote to four target profiles, with the greatest emphasis on former writers of the brand who were also high volume writers
  • Select Access designed a call plan to reach 10,000 targets monthly, prioritizing key targets
  • Client built pharmacy calls into the first two months of promotion to ensure stocking

Results

  • Pulse promotion during the peak four months post launch delivered superior results. 73% of Select Access targets experienced TRx growth vs 28% of non-targeted physicians
  • Called-on former brand writers have shown 53% growth in TRx volume vs flat growth for non-called on former brand writers during the same period
  • All called on target profiles experienced TRx growth during active promotion vs non-called on target profiles
