Co-hosts Will Brown and John Hinkle are thrilled to welcome Janice MacLennan to this episode of PharmaMarketing 411 to have a conversation about what the pharma industry can do to improve the approach to brand strategy. We talk about how Janice has made a pivot in how she approaches marketing planning - and how that is helping companies become more aligned across their entire commercial organization. Janice’s book "Brand Planning for the Pharmaceutical Industry" discusses how branding can be integrated into the early stages of the commercialization process for new products, both in theory and in the 'real' world. This book is a “how-to” guide that outlines a step-by-step approach to brand planning, using market segmentation as the jumping-off point for every brand.
