As the latest report by Doceree, the first global network of physician-only platforms for programmatic messaging, suggests around 43% of pharma marketers in India now prefer programmatic messaging platforms to reach out to physicians, utilizing its ability to segment healthcare experts and align their communication for optimization and better business outcomes. To understand how programmatic is evolving, Doceree delved into inventory and campaign behavior trends of its multiple partners, studying over 1,100 campaigns. These were run on a mix of 165 physician-only publisher platforms via Doceree by 102 advertisers - consisting of consumer healthcare and medical devices companies, life sciences brands, hospitals, and diagnostics, covering 100+ specialties. The report - ‘<keyword id="12950567" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Programmatic-Trends-in-Pharma" source="Orion">Programmatic Trends in Pharma</keyword> HCP Marketing 2022’ – points that pharma’s digital ad spending has risen considerably worldwide and the trend is expected to grow further on the back of programmatic fueling its growth. “The trend looks promising as we see pharma brands earmarking a significant budget to programmatic marketing,” said Harshit Jain MD, Founder &amp; Global CEO, Doceree. “We are seeing 5 out of ten dollars spent on digital being set aside for programmatic messaging.” Besides, the report captures popular trends that are shaping the programmatic pharma physician marketing space: 1. Programmatic gains prominence among endemic publishers In 2021, there was a jump up to 53% in the exposed programmatic inventory of endemic publishers - HCP-only digital platforms such as medical education sites, HCP networking sites, medical associations, and medical journals that HCPs visit to advance their professional knowledge or to connect with their peer group - on the back of their partnership with specialized ad exchanges. 2.First-party data makes contextual marketing valuable Piqued interest of pharma brands in first party data and significant surge in performance campaigns on endemic walled-garden, and point of care platforms – e-prescribing (eRx), telehealth, and electronic health record (EHR) platforms - where data is collected directly from the physicians via log-ins. There has been a 39% year-on-year increase in the usage of such platforms. 3. Big opportunity in physician’s clinical workflow Point-of-care networks are valuable assets for pharma marketers to enrich communications during a physician’s workflow - from lab test to the stage of diagnosis going to the point of writing a prescription - and deliver informative messages at decision-making moments while they are in a professional mindset. Further, 29% of marketers globally are mulling boosting budgets for trigger-based campaigns on Point of Care channels as they are in dialogue with partners for planning and activation. 4. Account-based marketing creates a buzz Brands are eager to keep up their spending across secondary-based institutions like hospitals, nursing homes and research institutes going into 2022 when targeting physicians of a particular specialty. The data analysis of the report disclosed a 135% increase in spending on account-based campaigns by brand marketers handling medical devices in 2021 over the previous year. “When executed properly, programmatic is a powerful tool to bring targeted scale for pharma marketers,” adds Jain. “For publishers, it offers promise to align relevant messaging and platform experience for physicians visiting the respective sites.”

For years, the pharma world has operated with drug representatives marketing particular drugs to doctors, which brings with it a lot of inefficiencies, both in terms of the time and money spent. It is these inefficiencies that US-based physician engagement platform Doceree is trying to minimise, and interestingly, it is using programmatic to make it happen. Launched in 2019 by Harshit Jain and <keyword id="8004156" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Daleep-Manhas">Daleep Manhas</keyword>, the platform aims at addressing the problem of rising costs in healthcare by bringing efficiency and effectiveness to physician engagement by using data and creativity. With the help of its proprietary AI engine, Espyian, Doceree already targets over 1 million physicians across the US and close to 300,000 in India. We recently had the opportunity of catching up with Jain, who walked us through all that has been happening at Doceree, how programmatic is helping them in their efforts and how they plan to expand their presence in India.

How did you fare in a year which has been very challenging for most businesses across the world?</cmsannotation> The year definitely was rough for businesses across the world as no one could have anticipated the COVID-19 pandemic and its veracity. The initial period was harrowing when lockdowns were imposed in almost every part of the world. As was it for any other business, we also find ourselves in a spot, all the more because we had just set our foot in the Indian market. However, in the unprecedented COVID-19 scenario, a new picture emerged as traditional marketing investments got halted during this time. <keyword id="6469017" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="pharmaceutical">Pharmaceutical</keyword> brands woke up to the new reality that digital was the only way forward. They saw huge opportunity in platforms like Doceree which had the potential to make their marketing efforts effective and efficient, and even cut costs. In a way, coronavirus outbreak has accelerated adoption of digital in the healthcare sector. Prior to COVID-19, we hadn’t seen conversions happening so fast in the healthcare industry. At Doceree, we made the most of the situation and the pandemic turned out to be favourable for us as it has been for all the other digital businesses globally. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Q) How has programmatic helped you connect brands to physicians effectively?" text="Q) How has programmatic helped you connect brands to physicians effectively?">Q) How has programmatic helped you connect brands to physicians effectively?</cmsannotation> The core of our business is programmatic and the platform is first-of-its-kind in India for physician marketing. Doceree is the first global network of physician-only platforms for programmatic marketing which is an automated mode of buying and selling an ad inventory. Individual digital healthcare platforms follow the approach of carpet bombing where messages are platform dependent. In this case, a display ad can be seen by physicians of any specialty which may not be relevant for them. Our programmatic platform by being audience dependent ensures that an ad which is meant for physicians of a particular specialty is seen by them only. Now, clients only pay for messaging seen by physicians for whom they are meant for. It significantly cuts the marketing cost while optimising the outcomes for Pharmaceutical brands. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Q) What kind of growth did you see in 2020, considering it was been difficult for businesses?" text="Q) What kind of growth did you see in 2020, considering it was been difficult for businesses?">Q) What kind of growth did you see in 2020, considering it was been difficult for businesses?</cmsannotation> The year 2020 brought a perception shift in the way Pharma brands thought of digital – earlier just a checkbox activity. In the current circumstances in which activities of sales representatives is still limited, the digital medium has become an important component of marketing efforts for pharmaceutical brands. Currently, we are working with top 8 out of 10 pharmaceutical brands and over 50 digital platforms in India have partnered with us. In the year gone by, we spread our footprint to an important pharmaceutical market – India to have presence in two location besides the US. We are working with the most specialist agency networks in the US. We are hopeful to build on the initial traction as Pharmaceutical brands and digital platforms have got a fair taste of how Doceree can positively impact their businesses and revenues. The focus is not just to gain from the situation right now, but to make our clients see value and worth in Doceree. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Q) How are you marketing yourself? Do you anticipate spending more on marketing in the upcoming year?" text="Q) How are you marketing yourself?

Do you anticipate spending more on marketing in the upcoming year?</cmsannotation> Our focus right now is on building our product as we are committed to driving effectiveness and efficiency in physician marketing. We are of the firm belief that when the product is great, the word spreads itself. The partners you work with play a big role by speaking good about the product. There is no marketing as good as word-of-mouth and our goal right now is to introduce new features that further makes physician marketing effective and efficient.
