Social Media in Pharma

While social media is still relatively new, it has been heralded as one of the most significant changes in the way that people communicate with one another. Despite this, the pharmaceutical industry has been slow to become involved with social media, fearing compliance and regulatory breaches and preferring to stay with the more traditional routes of communication, such as representative visits and emails. However, the growing popularity of social media, combined with a number of positive examples from both within and outside the pharmaceutical industry, has led to an increasing number of pharmaceutical companies looking to grow their social media presence and build on the unique opportunities these platforms offer.
