Know-how transfer from FMCG to Rx

Marketing people in Pharmaceutical companies often come with a natural science or medical background. Their standard initial assignment is a sales reps job where they visit physicians. This is often followed by a promotion to a Product Manager role.

However, not all Pharmaceutical companies can provide a sound Marketing training for Junior Product Managers with a natural science or medical background. Important topics are for example Research Briefs towards market research agencies, how to draw conclusions out of market research data, Creative Briefs towards ad agencies, how to manage ad agencies, how to write business summaries and business plans and other topics.

Agency Selection through Pitches?

Many FMCG and Pharmaceutical companies put huge efforts in the selection or re-assessing of ad agencies. Pitches are often used as the standard tool, in many cases with Briefings towards a number of competing ad agencies. As a result, the entire process is both time and cost intensive.

However, there is another way to professionally select an ad agency. Albert Klein from AKlein-Consult comes with a unique experience as an ad agency Account Executive and from selecting and efficiently leading ad agencies for blue chip FMCG and Pharmaceutical companies.
