Brave New Pharma?

Posted: January 8, 2007

Seems I have a lot of questions this month! I mean to say, a lot of my recent posts have questions as titles. Why do I do that?

Anyway, this question has to do with the effect -- or lack thereof -- of FDA warning letters on pharmaceutical companies and product managers.

The question arose in an offline discussion I recently had with a product manager in response to my recent post entitled "YouPharma(tm): A Brave New World of Marketing?"

In that post, I challenged the pharmaceutical industry to engage their customers and consumers through Web 2.0 and other technologies. BTW, if you are interested in this topic, I am doing a live podcast tomorrow at 1 PM Eastern time on that subject (see "Web 2.0 for Pharma Marketing"). I will be interviewing a couple of interesting experts and taking calls from listeners. Hope you listen in. Otherwise, download the audio afterward.

I have laid down the gauntlet to product managers and hope they respond by joining the new Forum, "Product Manager Corner," which I established on the Pharma Marketing Network Forums site. There, I ask "Are Product Managers Lemmings or Scaredy Cats?" If you want to respond to that, please join the Forum. You can cloak your identity and post anonymously without moderation. But follow the rules and be polite!

If you want to read more about this topic, see today's post to Pharma Marketing Blog.
