Inside view: working towards successful social media engagement
Paul Tunnah interviews Veronica Botet
GE Healthcare
The gradual adoption of social media in companies throughout the pharma world is increasing and with it comes novel and unique ways of engaging with patients and providers. We are increasingly seeing careful integration of social media messages using a combination of the available social media channels to create the right information for the right audiences. With the rapid growth of social media campaigns companies are looking to each other to see what projects have been successful and what techniques they should be adopting.
It is evident that social media is evolving but where is it heading and what will it look like in 10-15 years time? Will pharma achieve the successful social media engagement platform that it desires to enable closer interaction with its customers and delivery of better treatments?
In this interview we spoke with Veronica Botet of GE Healthcare. Veronica ensures that the digital PR strategy at GE Healthcare includes a social media component and she keeps a close eye on campaigns both within her own company and external ones that have been successful. She also discusses the importance of knowing your audience when delivering your messages and how she hopes social media use will evolve in her company in the years to come.
