At a recent webinar, Branding Science experts Ed Corbett and Simon Fogg talked guests through the latest strengths, weaknesses and trends they’ve spotted in the world of brand planning.
If AI will make the treatment decisions in the future, what does this mean for clinical trial design now?
Our healthcare world is full of examples for how AI could be – or is already – improving diagnosis, treatment, follow up and the overall patient experience.
So, what if AI algorithms were used to make recommendations for treatment decisions, to support doctors in decision-making?
Now you have your AI chatbot, do you know how to make the most of it?
Many pharma companies are setting up their AI chatbot systems to interrogate their data, but many clients may not know how to make the most of them.

Debiasing: How to use behavioural science to enhance research design
Much of market research still relies on self-reported answers. We ask people questions and assume they can accurately describe how they go about making decisions – and typically also that they rationally consider all the factors before doing so. These are not realistic assumptions.
Our decisions are influenced by context, habits, intuitive factors, fleeting thoughts, and gut reactions that these questions cannot capture. Worse, they may actively introduce biases and distortions.
In this webinar, Branding Science experts Anne-Sophie Lenoir, PhD, and Jess Finney will talk about how to avoid these pitfalls by leveraging learnings from behavioural science to craft more insightful, less biased qualitative and quantitative research – from design, through to recruitment, and to analysis.
The state of pharma brand planning
Brand planning is a vital but much aligned part of pharmaceutical marketing.
All too often, it’s seen as a chore, a box ticking exercise, or something to get done and move on from. The reality couldn’t be further from this!
Join Branding Science experts Ed Corbett and Simon Fogg to discuss, the current state of branding planning in the industry, where improvements can be made and how teams can create plans that people love.
Why AI chatbots will definitely replace the pharmaceutical insights agency

Find out at our webinar, entitled ‘Patient journey- a new perspective and implications from an early-stage asset to an established brand’.
