Deep Dive: Communications 2020
COVID-19 might have forced pharma to finally fully embrace digital comms, but it’s been a steep learning curve and expertise varies across the industry.
Speaking to the various experts in this issue, one theme that came up again and again was that the techniques for successful communication on digital platforms are completely different to those needed for traditional comms. For those companies still moving away from a mindset of physical communications and in-person meetings, there’s never been a greater need for digital transformation.
In this issue we hear from a variety of KOLs who are leading pharma comms into a new, digital era to get their views on how pharma can best adapt for the post-COVID world.
