Chairperson's Welcome & Presentation:
The FDA And Social Media: Insider Guidance
And How It Relates To You

In November 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration held a two-day public meeting on how regulated industries use social media. As the year mark approaches since that heralded Part 15 meeting, not only haven’t things become more lucid (from a regulatory perspective) it has (arguably) become more confusing. Warning letters. Quixotic podium statements from the Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising and Communications (DDMAC). What’s a pharma marketer to do?

Social media is here to stay and becoming an increasingly important tool for pharmaceutical and healthcare marketers. What can you expect from the FDA and how will it impact providing accurate information and potent marketing messages in the future?

This session will provide you with practical tips, while addressing many of these pressing issues, including:

  • Correction of inaccurate information
  • Outreach and interaction with healthcare bloggers
  • User-generated content and corporate responsibility
  • Sponsored search engine links
  • Appropriate disclosure of risk information
  • MedWatch and the future of adverse event reporting
  • The role of DDMAC in social media oversight and the dangers of "regulatory creep"
  • What can we expect from the FDA... and when?

Get the real story on regulating social media from an industry insider.

(And, be careful what you wish for … you might get it.)

How To Effectively Incorporate Social Media Tools To Successfully Expand And Enhance Your Online Presence

Founded in 1886, Johnson & Johnson, is one of the most broadly based companies in human health – encompassing consumer products, medical devices and prescription medicines. Since 2006, the Johnson & Johnson Corporate Communication department has significantly expanded and enhanced its presence online through the steady launch of new and innovative online communications tools and platforms such as: the Kilmer House and JNJBTW blogs, the Johnson & Johnson health channel on YouTube, the Johnson & Johnson Network on Facebook, the @JNJComm feed on Twitter as well as the re-launch of the existing platform, the corporate website, www.JNJ.com.

As a result, the Corporation not only has access to numerous vehicles to deliver messages and interact with a variety of communities, but has also established credible footholds in different online realms including the blogosphere, the Twittersphere, YouTube and on Facebook, where it can engage, interact and form relationships with different stakeholders.

This presentation will give you the inside story of how this 124-year-old company, which operates in a highly regulated industry, joined the social media world. You'll gain a greater understanding of the successful process that can help you transition your company into the social media arena, including:

  • Steps needed to develop a set of social media policies
  • Process and structural changes that will support specific social media efforts
  • Expectations for communicating on the social web

Physicians And Social Media: What Can Pharma Learn?

Today, physicians of all ages and specialties are online, whether via laptop, desktop, or mobile device. With physicians' acceptance of technology has come a new type of openness among a growing number in the healthcare industry. There are physicians who blog, tweet, use Facebook, email with patients, post videos and use social media in intriguing ways. What is driving this change? And what can pharmaceutical marketers and brand managers learn from this new behavior?

This panel discussion will pull back the curtain and address just that issue as it examines:
  • The types of social media physicians find useful and distracting
  • The value social networks like Sermo and Physicians Connect hold for physicians and what drives their usage
  • How physicians are using mobile to engage socially
  • Whether or not the Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) of the future will be someone who is "social" and more open

Don’t be left behind. Physicians are online – this is a chance to find out how your pharma organization can join the conversation and boost business results.

A Strategic Approach For Integrating Social Media Into Your Communications And Marketing Plans – Lessons Learned From An Over-The-Counter Launch

Social media has transformed the way products are launched, and that’s especially true when taking a prescription product over-the-counter (OTC). This case study will explore how a leading allergy medicine leveraged a strategic mix of social technologies to communicate with its customer base, establish a brand voice beyond traditional channels, and kick-start its launch.

While regulations and guidance may differ from the Rx world, the obligations of the brand to oversee and moderate social content remain the same. In addition to the marketing plan, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how the team established the necessary systems and processes to review, moderate, and report matters such as product issues and adverse events.

You’ll take away actionable advice on how you can utilize new media tools effectively, including:
  • How to strategically incorporate social media into your marketing plan
  • Items to consider when establishing moderation and review processes
  • Opportunities to gain buy-in for social programs across numerous stakeholders
  • Ways to coordinate across multiple agency partners plus marketing, legal, medical, and regulatory teams
  • Insights from the OTC world and how they apply to Rx marketers
