Why are you talking to me? I’m busy.

Marketing to HCPsAttention scarcity in the modern age

Difficult conversations come with the territory for HCPs. Only materials that are easy and helpful will make it here.

Content is consumed between patient consults.

Peer to peer is your strongest recommendation, and can be anything from conversation to formal talks.

Physical access is difficult and becoming harder.

“Look, I believe you know your product better than anyone, but I also think you’re biased.”
