EileenOBrien:
It’s time for #socpharm – the biopharma marketing & social media tweetchat. Who’s in tonight?
richmeyer:
Rich Meyer Marketing Contrarian of the highest order !! #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Michael Spitz here, VP of Digital Strategy, Ignite Health #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
Please say hello & why u are interested in this topic. I’m Eileen, work in #rarediseases at Siren Interactive & love the interwebs #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy Hi Michael! @richmeyer Like your self description Rich
#socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
I’m here because I adore a good debate, especially when it’s about such an important subject for patients #socpharm
richmeyer:
I am a passionate patient centered marketer who believes that good medicine = good business #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@richmeyer Ans 2 ur Q: FDA’s Proposed Web Study Will Further Delay Social Media Guidelines: http://ow.ly/587wS #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
“Further studies” imply the FDA still struggles with fully understanding the medium, and ulimately how to write guidance for it #socpharm
richmeyer:
@pharmaguy Yes but if they are issued right that could mean a lot #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
Hi joining from jersey…@EileenOBrien @richmeyer @pharmaguy #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
Q1 Everyone’s buzzing about FDA dropping SM/web guidance from 2011 agenda: http://bit.ly/ilgnJl as @pharmaguy reported. Surprise? #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Writing guidance, IMHO, is not easy: It must be general enough (so platform neutral), yet specific enough to be regulated #socpharm
richmeyer:
It could also indicate that they are short of resources after all they are issuing letter for magnets #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
FDA budget has been reduced, so resourcing is definitely an issue for them #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
Q1 Agree the FDA has an extremely difficult task. And is there any benefit for them to issue guidance why not provide via ltrs? #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Better to not do it at all than to do it incompletely or badly #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
Agree RT @SpitzStrategy: Better to not do it at all than to do it incompletely or badly #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Like all government bodies, they are more cautious than expedient #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
Looks like they are breaking it down to bite size draft regulations…#socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Especially since social media is changing so rapidly #socpharm
richmeyer:
@EileenOBrien I believe there is a lot they dont understand about social media yet #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
I’d agree w/ that too, it’s pretty nuanced! RT @richmeyer: I believe there is a lot they dont understand about social media yet #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
The problem is how to be platform neutral yet still enforceable — what is fundamental about all platforms that they can control? #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
I think FB is kind of interesting as they are forcing stuff to happen while FDA studies..and ponders…#socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
What is the boundary between UGC and proprietary content? Where is the line of accountability to be drawn? #socpharm
richmeyer:
Unfortun I believe that lack of SM guidelines is going to force some DTC marketers back in further in the cave #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@eileenobrien It’s a surprise that handling “unsolicited requests” got on the list of SM guidances & won 1st place! Dark SM horse! #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
Per FDA studies announced seems they r still trying to figure out how fair balance should be presented on websites, how 1998! #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
I like what Facebook is doing — you must be truly social to play — if nothing else, similar action will FORCE the FDA to act #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@pharmaguy Explain that more please #socpharm
richmeyer:
Let me ask this how many pharma companies really have added digital marketing capabilities in people and departments #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy It’s a shame that FB allowed pharma to spend lots of $ designing FB pages & are now changing the game. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Some pharma marketing departments have embraced digital enthusiastically, others lag #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@richmeyer I see a fair amount of “emarketer” titles out there in pharma. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
The nature of social media is change — we build pages for free, so Facebook can (and should) organically evolve the platform #socpharm
richmeyer:
@EileenOBrien @SpitzStrategy With 700 million users and cash flowing in they feel they are the THE source #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Facebook IS the source — but let them go at it — they are setting new standards, and so far so good for all #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@eileenobrien Since when is “unsolicited requests” for info a SM or Internet-specific issue that needs guidance? #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@SpitzStrategy Now they need to take on mobile health in addition to epharma…not many pharma have really taken on mobile yet… #socpharm
richmeyer:
@EileenOBrien Right but one person on a brand team is not enough anymore #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@pharmaguy because it’s in writing that never goes away???? #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy But the pages aren’t really “free” for major companies (pharma & others). They are designed, monitored, etc. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Pharma is cutting back on ALL their marketing, online and offline; more savvy ones are shifting to digital but teams are shrinking #socpharm
richmeyer:
@EileenOBrien @SpitzStrategy And remember pharma can still block comments by keyword #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Back in the day Facebook charged THOUSANDS for a page; now anyone can launch one; pharma has the resources to play #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@SpitzStrategy agree budgets are shrinking as the businesses shrink…. #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@pharmaguy That’s why it’s confusing. couldn’t a phone call to corporate be considered “unsolicited request”? #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Digital has economy of scale and other inherent benefits; but marketers don’t always understand how to implement #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@spitzstrategy I guess I need to get into another line of work then!
#socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@pharmaguy Sooner or later they’ll come around…
#socpharm
richmeyer:
That’s because TV is more glamerous and helps them keep their budgets #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy I still hate to see money wasted that could be spent on valuable disease awareness, etc. #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@eileenobrien EXACTLY! Pharma has been handling unsolicited requests for years & years & never received a warning letter! #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Facebook pages are experiments, works-in-progress in a mutable digital environment; pharma learns as it goes #socpharm
richmeyer:
@EileenOBrien There is always spend it or loose it attitufe #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
UGC is technically an “unsolicited request,” right? #socpharm
ChrisMLindgren:
Hi listening in from Boston area… #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
The problem, again, is BOUNDARIES — who “owns” the platform, and who is ultimately accountable for the content? #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy What’s up with all those weird FB pages on brands and pharmacos that seem to come from Wikipedia? #socpharm
pharmaguy:
I heard that Facebook wants to open up to kids under 13. Have they been barred all this time? #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Where do you draw the line between proprietary content and UGC from third-parties? #socpharm
rlanzara:
RT @shelleypetersen: #FDA signals it will regulate #medical #apps http://t.co/IHB7pUP #socpharm #epharma #pharma #nhssm #hcmktg #hcsmeu …
richmeyer:
I mean 99% of pharma sites dont even allow share buttons on their product websites #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Yes, Facebook asks for a birthday to register; if you are under 13 you can’t #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@ChrisMLindgren Hi Chris! Thanks for saying hello #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@pharmaguy YEs in theory banned, but all the kids who are 11 say they are older. #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@pharmaguy technically yes…under 13 barred from FB…but they sneak on…:-) #socpharm
ChrisMLindgren:
@EileenOBrien @ChrisMLindgren welcome… thanks. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@EileenOBrien And what about all those pages on Wikipedia, written by anonymous third parties, about generic and branded drugs? #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@spitzstrategy But pharma’s REAL issue with UGC is adverse event reporting and off-label promotion. #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy Where do they come from? That’s what I want to know…. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@pharmaguy Reputation management is also a big deal, I think #socpharm
susanborst:
Ellen- Do you realistically see any end in sight on regs to address pharma digital issues? #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@spitzstrategy I always lie about my birthday. I guess that’s how I got a FB page
#socpharm
richmeyer:
@pharmaguy @spitzstrategy John that can all be controlled the real issue is their love affair with outbound marketing #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@pharmaguy I always share my mom’s maiden name — but only if a site asks me nicely #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@susanborst Hi! not really bec SM changing so rapidly and patients expectations chging too #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
Plus, when you create FB page you don’t need to identify yourself. The anti-KVPharma page for example – no idea of motive. #socpharm
likeamyth:
My name is Amith, and I am an incoming Pharmacy School student, trying to gain further insight into the industry. #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@spitzstrategy Also, pharma loves it when it gets “unsolicited requests” for more information! It’s called OPT-IN! #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@EileenOBrien Facebook has copyright infringement rules, though — you can’t use a brand logo, other criteria, for example #socpharm
heldincontempt:
RT @pharmaguy: FDA Drops Social Media from Its 2011 Guidance Agenda. http://bit.ly/kl3BDE #fdasm #hcsm #socpharm #epharm
EileenOBrien:
@likeamyth Welcome Amith, thanks for saying hello. @susanborst Hi Susan! #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@pharmaguy Most definitely — an effective way to shift from an unbranded campaign to a branded one #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@susanborst Before we look for an end to SM GLs I’d like to see a BEGINNING! #socpharm
rlanzara:
#Twitter #Fail @SpitzStrategy tweets are not showing on #socpharm ?!
ellenhoenig:
@SpitzStrategy yes but optin hardly an unsolicited request! #socpharm
richmeyer:
@SpitzStrategy @EileenOBrien Cant use brand logo where on your FB page ? #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
Speaking of opt-in, 93% of web users subscribe to permission-based email. Is Pharma using email right? Any great examples? #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@richmeyer Facebook has rules of engagement — I can’t start a fake Coca-Cola page, for example, using their logo #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
What we would consider “remedial channels” such as email and SMS are still highly viable — especially for pharma #socpharm
richmeyer:
@EileenOBrien A long time ago Pfizer developed a great email magazine around Celebrex but they just were not consistent #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@ellenhoenig So what does FDA mean by “unsolicited request”? There was no public discussion of the issues, was there? #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Email is actually CRM — customer relationship management — to @pharmaguy‘s point, it’s about opting in to a continous exchange #socpharm
richmeyer:
@SpitzStrategy Hmmm many people started Starbucks dont change logo pages with Starbucks logo #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Let’s take a second and look at the UK social media “guidance” — exclusively for HCPs — shocking restrictive! #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@richmeryer Are any of them malicious? #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@pharmaguy I think its more abt poping a question to pharma abt their Rx that could be either not correct, indic expansion or AE #socpharm
richmeyer:
First step is to conduct research and find out what patients find valuable and use CMS to microsegment content via email #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
I call search & email “traditional emarketing” tactics. Good content on mobile-friendly site. Do those right 1st then worry abt sm.#socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
But email is just one of many viable digital touchpoints; a multichannel approach is optimal, optimally inclusive of social media #socpharm
susanborst:
@EileenObrien (hi!) – and @pharmaguy – So hard from the agency side…Clients want great ideas (but they can never be executed.) #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@richmeyer Agree, have to add value & fill the need. Ties back to content is king discussion of last week. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
But problems with opt-ins, “data mining” (especially DTC), and ultra-regulated content makes CRM for pharma difficult #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@ellenhoenig I can only guess what FDA is getting at. But they specifically said request for information – not asking a question. #socpharm
richmeyer:
@SpitzStrategy Some were saying boycott Starbucks etc. #socpharm
richmeyer:
@SpitzStrategy They need someone who can microsegment content not one email for everyone #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@richmeyer From our own work we had to “validate” Facebook page authenticity; and conversely are assured of no pirate pages #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@pharmaguy u might be right..i interpreted request for info as another way for asking a Question? particular info on particular Rx #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy Was that the UK guidance that came out a few weeks ago? http://bit.ly/hQ4bFa #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@richmeyer Some brands might be tolerant of copy cats and even pirate pages — Metaliica lesson in letting social be social #socpharm
ansinanser:
RT @LeighFazzina Looking for recs for a great #mhealth app developer/creator (no sales pitches please). Anyone? Thx! #pharma #socpharm #hcsm
SpitzStrategy:
@EileenObrien Yes, the UK “guidance” that precludes English pharma from even tweeting! #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@susanborst Have to do lots of educating of med/legal/regulatory teams. Start small & take baby steps. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
There’s even been talk at the capitol about the fate of DTC marketing for pharma overall #socpharm
richmeyer:
Cholesterol drugs tied to lower prostate cancer risk | Reuters: http://me.lt/584Gq #Pharma #socpharm #health #fdasm #hcsm
SpitzStrategy:
Lack of FDA social media guidance might be a sign that the G is thinking about pharma marketing overall #socpharm
pharmaguy:
FDA email urges me to make sure I tell ppl that “social media guidances are still on” & apologizes for “glitch in agenda” (?) #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
I forgot to add: “We’ll assume that all tweets within #socpharm are your own and not your employers (unless you specifically declare them) “
ellenhoenig:
@SpitzStrategy what’s new…the old dtc may go away capital convo…last study i saw suggested that 2 yr moratorium didn’t save $ #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@pharmaguy You frightened them into crafting some guidance ASAP
#socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@pharmaguy Is that the email response you got from Jean-Ah Kang? She seems most invested. #socpharm
Earl20:
@pharmaguy Glitch?! #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@spitzstrategy Let’s see if they fix that “glitch”, huh? #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@ellenhoenig Right, but the DTC moratorium is relevant when you’re trying to figure out how to regulate social for healthcare #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@pharmaguy I think its great that you asked fda specifically for clarification! to what they promised… #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
As a group exercise, I’d be curious to see if any of us could write some draft SM guidance that would make sense and be feasible #socpharm
likeamyth:
That seemed a bit too ridiculous to be true @pharmaguy . Glad it’s been cleared up! #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@eileenobrien No, it was someone else who “defers to Jean-Ah on timing,” so I don’t think I should say who. #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@SpitzStrategy yes…but they always throw it in to confuse the situation… #socpharm
richmeyer:
@SpitzStrategy Hmm marketers writing guidance for scientists…. #socpharm
rlanzara:
The #socpharm #hashtag isn’t recording your tweets @EileenOBrien @SpitzStrategy #Twitter #Fail
EileenOBrien:
@pharmaguy Understand, very interesting. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
What are we really expecting? Return of the 1-click rule; conditions for AE reporting…? #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@SpitzStrategy what a great idea…one day of lively discussion and it would be done!
#socpharm
pharmaguy:
@earl20 Yeah, I’m wondering what she meant by “glitch.” Could refer to my not receiving the email notice about the agenda. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@richmeyer That’s exactly my point! Scientists can’t really write guidance for communications, can they? #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@rlanzara They are coming up in Tweetdeck for me. Go to tweetdeck.com & download free tool. It makes it easy to follow tweetchats. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Curious whom the FDA is consulting with about the guidance, too #socpharm
richmeyer:
@SpitzStrategy Ahh but can they understand them ? Marketing behavior is not always based on science #socpharm
JackieWellbaum:
RT @pharmaguy: FDA email urges me to make sure I tell ppl that “social media guidances are still on” & apologizes for “glitch in agenda” (?) #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
I think the trick is to isolate basic, fundamental variables shared by all social media platforms, and build guidance on those #socpharm
richmeyer:
@SpitzStrategy A great first step would be to get Manhattan Research as info provider #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
More an exercise in user interface design, content management, and pharma legal than anything “scientific” #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@spitzstrategy YES, that’s exactly what they want. eg, Merck wants 1-click rule: http://ow.ly/588p6 #socpharm
richmeyer:
@pharmaguy @spitzstrategy And 1 click rule makes a lot of sense #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@pharmaguy: Just the 1-click rule reinstatement (with generic “All drugs come with risks…” tag) would be STELLAR #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
So @SpitzStrategy shared @manhattanresear study re BRIC physicians high use of sm http://bit.ly/iGhH13 What do u think? #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
That would bust out PPC problems, fix the Facebook “Like” issue, etc. #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@SpitzStrategy But i think also need to figure out small space options or perhaps it just means no branded claims on twitter?
#socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@ellenhoenig 1-click would bust Twitter open, too, I think #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
Love it! RT @SpitzStrategy: Just the 1-click rule reinstatement (w/ generic “All drugs come with risks…” tag) would be STELLAR #socpharm
richmeyer:
@ellenhoenig But think first: I mean is ANYONE really going to see a Tweet and act on it without finding out more ? #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Depends on that generic string, the default fair balance text for all drugs #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
If you think about it, reinstatement of 1-click rule, if used as a type of comment footer, could open lots of social possibilities #socpharm

richmeyer:

EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy Still don’t get how 1 click is different than flipping printed page in magazine. #socpharm
susanborst:
@ellenhoenig @SpitzStrategy No branded claims on Twitter – period – hard enough to add legal in a banner ad. #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@spitzstrategy Goog proposed a 1-click solution that has been beta tested by Bayer. Y doesn’t FDA bless it in guidance? no brainer #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
And what about disclaimer text for off-label topics? #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@richmeyer no! I agree…:-) #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
The maddening thing is that simply mentioning the indication is already considered a claim #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@EileenOBrien yea but in a print ad also have plenty of ISI on the ad itself before you even turn the page…:-) #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@susanborst Yeah, I think branded tweets are sleazy spam anyway!
#socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Yes, Google has comps locked & loaded featuring disclaimer text for all branded drugs #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Branded tweets can have value if they are part of an ongoing patient or doc ed program, no? #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
FDA oreclears black box drugs 2 do Google PPC reminder ads w/special risk line & 1click 2 safety info. Maybe sign of things to come#socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
You “opt-in” by following a branded pharma discussion on Twitter, 1-click rule applied!
#socpharm
richmeyer:
Google is still more influential in purchase decisions http://twitpic.com/55nv81 #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@susanborst true and why banner ads not always so productive with all the fair balance stuck in them

@SpitzStrategy @EileenOBrien Also lets not forget the backlash against Sermo #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy True, and like the FDA, physicians in the US can use sm any way they want
#socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@richmeyer I don’t think I heard about this…. #socpharm
ellenhoenig:
@SpitzStrategy In some ways with MDs may take off more becuase theoretically the content is ‘quality’ and trusted since their Drs? #socpharm
richmeyer:
@EileenOBrien WOW Sermo mines docs conversations for data and sell it and that pissed off some docs #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@EileenObrien @richmeyer Right! The question is always the objectivity of the raw clinical data — and context within the threads #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@spitzstrategy If you string together tweets as in a chat, then u can make case that the chat is a unit. #socpharm
ctrlsearch:
Any #socpharm tweeps think that FDA regulation will stop #biopharm companies from using social media?
susanborst:
@ellenhoenig @susanborst FB – try fitting that in for a brand with a Black Box warning. #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@richmeyer But Sermo has always been transparent about letting pharma observe conversations. How they make profit. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
@pharmaguy Agree about tweet units — which begs the question of how to handle the fair balance #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@susanborst Social media, FB especially, not right for every brand. #socpharm
mra99:
RT @SpitzStrategy: The maddening thing is that simply mentioning the indication is already considered a claim #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Monetization is still a mystery — even for Facebook! — so SERMO had to evolve to remain profitable, even viable #socpharm
richmeyer:
I think biggest change is that people want quality in health not just treatment. Did anyone see how to die in Oregon yet ? #socpharm
ctrlsearch:
@SpitzStrategy If #socpharm professionals can agree to guidelines, like dialogue and announcements, no drug recs?
EileenOBrien:
@ctrlsearch The good news is lack of regulations hasn’t stopped biopharma from pushing forward. Lots of great examples. #socpharm
susanborst:
@EileenOBrien Ha! In this chat FB = Fair Balance, not Facebook!!!
#socpharm
ctrlsearch:
@richmeyer No, is that about the “right to die” law? in Oregon? #socpharm
richmeyer:
@EileenOBrien Yes they have and nothing you write online is private still HCP do not like and has been a backlash #socpharm

SpitzStrategy:
Let’s vote, true SM style! #socpharm
pharmaguy:
@ctrlsearch FDA regs hv not stopped pharma SM. But lack of understanding how to interpret regs has. Reason y we need guidance. #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@SpitzStrategy I believed their original end of 2010 announcement so I’m swearing off predicting what FDA will do! #socpharm
richmeyer:
@pharmaguy #socpharm It comes from the top..how much risk a comp is willing to take translated to lawyers
SpitzStrategy:
I bet we’ll see something like the 1-click rule return, plus maybe special new protocols for handling AEs — this year #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
Yes! RT @ctrlsearch: @EileenOBrien That’s so true, love http://bit.ly/2i4jGo esp! #socpharm

@SpitzStrategy From your mouth to God’s ear #socpharm
ctrlsearch:
@SpitzStrategy love what SERMO has accomplished. Remember my dad (doc) poring through med. journals to help treat patients. #socpharm
susanborst:
Has to be ways around all this like Lyme Disease docu “Under Your Skin” (awesome BTW) to raise awareness of “new” disease states. #socpharm
SpitzStrategy:
Pressue is great, especially the $$$ spent on PPC #socpharm
EileenOBrien:
@ctrlsearch I’m a fan of SERMO as well. Think it’s a nice platform. #socpharm
