SMi are delighted to welcome Sarah Holiday, Social Media Strategy Lead, Pfizer onto the speaker panel!

Sarah has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 20 years in a variety of sales, customer access, training and marketing roles and ran the first ever disease awareness YouTube campaign with YouTube vloggers in Pfizer.

In this role Sarah works with a variety of stakeholders to ensure Pfizer has the appropriate framework and processes to effectively and compliantly utilise social media as a marketing and communications channel and supports brand teams with content and channel development to optimise audience engagement.

Sarahs presentation: ‘Building integrated, impactful social media strategies which engage HCPs and patients as part of the multi-channel mix.’ Day 2 | @15:10

Summary of presentation:

- How can pharma brands integrate and adapt social media for greater levels of impact and relevancy as part of the wider digital and multi-channel mix?
- What’s the right platform for your brand?
- From global to local markets, advice on building an integrated social media strategy which maximises brand impact

SMi had the chance to interview Sarah about her experience in the industry, here’s one of her answers:

"Patient engagement is really important – we want to be able to talk and listen to people so we can meet their needs. We’re not always brilliant at doing this we are trying to improve and lose the anxiety we have about two-way communication. Pfizer use a tool called Sprinklr that helps manage social channels in one place – to publish, listen and monitor and moderate comments all in one place."
