NEW YORK, NY (June 2, 2020) – The DHC Group and Intouch Group announced that, together, they published a whitepaper titled, “The Aftermath: COVID-19 Insights and Recommendations – How the Pandemic Will Forever Change Pharma Sales and Marketing.” The whitepaper provides insights and perspective on navigating the evolving post-pandemic landscape, including professional and consumer engagement, the evolution of point of care and the role of telemedicine, the future of the field force, brand launches, the inevitability of digital transformation and more.
Intouch Group and DHC Group partnered on quantitative and qualitative research to explore the impact of COVID-19 in the not-so-distant future of Q1 2021. They conducted interviews with 30 senior-level stakeholders; fielded surveys to 50+ pharma executives, 112 physicians, and 157 patient influencers. Industry thought leaders also provided extensive input for the report, which is the most comprehensive, forward-looking paper on the topic to date.
“COVID-19 has changed every aspect of life, including the practice of medicine and pharmaceutical [sales and] marketing, and these changes will be felt for the foreseeable future,” said Mark Bard, co-founder The DHC Group. “Our research has given us invaluable insights into what patients and healthcare providers need from pharma today and tomorrow — it’s imperative that the industry listens and acts.”
“Our research and resulting whitepaper serves as a crystal ball to help marketers make difficult decisions about planning for the future,” said Faruk Capan, CEO, Intouch Group. “Through our partnership with DHC Group, we have created the road map for the way forward.”
