Social media
It’s time to lay to rest the myth that pharma doesn’t, or can’t, do social media. It can and it does. More than that, it values the opportunities offered by new communications channels.
The starkest example of this came in Autumn 2011 when Merck KGaA was so incensed its US namesake had taken control of its Facebook page that it launched court proceedings to get it back.
But social media is more than Facebook, and our Pharma Social Media Directory shows the exactly how pharmaceutical companies are using these new communications channels.
