Enhancing Healthcare Professionals’ Experience Through Tailored Messaging 

In today's dynamic healthcare marketing landscape, personalized communication is what HCPs are looking to acquire from pharmaceutical companies.

Tailoring messages to the specific needs of healthcare professionals – whether by specialty, preferred media channel, or prescribing behavior – could enhance their overall customer experience. This approach could help healthcare professionals in making informed decisions and educating their patients. Using our M3 MI Professional Health studies, we analyzed different types of information HCPs like to acquire through the various digital sources they use. We found that not only does preferred content vary by channel for HCPs at the topline, as expected, but also that their preferences vary widely when splitting by specialty, age, and other factors. This suggests that marketers need to understand the nuances of their specific target audiences to communicate effectively.
