Challenge

The Pharmaceutical client sought to revolutionize their omnichannel marketing  strategy by implementing a more automated and model-driven approach. However,  they were encountering challenges with multiple analyses for each brand,  resulting in conflicting insights and organizational skepticism. Blend was  entrusted with the mission of transforming their current approach into a  future-proof, scalable solution that would drive incremental business value.

Solution

We co-created the concept and overall approach for the solution, providing  detailed roadmaps and specific milestones along the way. One of the key  aspects of the solution was the optimization of the recommendation algorithm,  which took into account the expected number of TRx (Total Prescription) that  would be generated from each marketing activity. By leveraging existing  machine learning models, the team was able to efficiently create the Next  Best Action, saving valuable time and cost by avoiding unnecessary  reinvention. Additionally, we helped design a robust data architecture  structure that facilitated automation across all models and analyses,  ensuring a seamless and efficient workflow.

Impact

The solution brought about impressive results for the Pharmaceutical client. They  experienced a 30% increase in sales and marketing ROI while saving 65% on  resource expenses through vendor consolidation. Digital effectiveness soared  by 90% as wasteful spending was eliminated and digitally-influenced targets  were identified.
