But Pharma is still behind in social media.

Regulatory
? Lack of Understanding
Politics and Silos
Strategy and
Leadership
Decentralised
Marketing
Why?
Senior Leadership needs to LEAD
1. Start to approach social media strategically
2. Get trained . . . and train the organisation
3. Support new process and ways of working
4. Break down the silos and ...
5. Reward results not politics
6. Give global direction

Politics and Silos
So Global is better than local implementation?

Or
. . . it is all about being a team across the globe

My recommendations . . .
1. Get senior leadership trained and on board
2. Have a central social media team and local representatives
3. Set up a global / local team and process
4. Have clear guidelines and training
5. Share resources and knowledge
6. Have a consistent presence
7. Work together as a global team
8. Stop being afraid!
