BrandIntel to Participate in Podcast on "Measuring Consumer Sentiment About Prescription Drugs"

Pharmaceutical Marketing Talk Podcast Discussion to Focus on Data Mining and Using Online Consumer-Generated Content to Help Improve Drug Marketing Initiatives


TORONTO--(Marketwire - July 18, 2007) - BrandIntel, a leader in consumer and market intelligence solutions, today announced that Mark De Paoli, pharmaceutical analyst, BrandIntel, will participate in a live podcast interview on "Measuring Consumer Sentiment About Prescription Drugs." The podcast will be hosted by John Mack, publisher and editor at Pharma Marketing News, and will focus on how pharmaceutical companies can gain critical insight from analyzing online consumer-generated content in blogs, discussion boards, chat rooms, and forums. Mark will also discuss how such data provided by BrandIntel can allow companies to make better business decisions regarding their brands.

The Pharma Marketing Talk podcast will focus on a recent report that BrandIntel issued, "Botox: Capital Markets Consumer Insight Monitor" which tracked and analyzed online buzz for each brand from January 2005 - February 2007. The BrandIntel study found that although consumer perceptions for Restylane have remained fairly neutral, Botox has seen an increase in consumer sentiment, indicating that consumers are more accepting of its use since its introduction into the market a few years ago. Mark will discuss these findings as well as the broader implications of how pharmaceutical marketers can leverage online buzz to better understand consumers.
