A new role within Brand Strategy exists for a manager-level strategist, who can help our agency and brand teams demonstrate a deeper understanding of customers (whether HCP or consumer) through retrieval and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data on insights, media usage, treatment and lifestyle habits, prescribing, referring and general health behaviors, and then translate those experiences into strategic recommendations for our clients. Brand Strategy is the group the agency relies on for intimate knowledge of the target audience: what interests and motivates them, where they go for information, how they react to communications, what the journey is that leads them to prescribe, recommend, ask for or purchase a product, and continue doing so over the long term. The Brand Strategy team is expected to use this knowledge to create short and long-term strategies for how those target audiences and our clients' brands can best interact.
