We use our experience in pharmaceutical campaigns to plan promotion for your brand. Data-source coverage and the reach of a specific campaign are calculated separately.

Campaign planning
01
Analysis

Start with your product

In the dashboard, select a product, add competitors and related products, then review interest trends and search-query data. The comparison helps reveal the brand’s position and define the advertising task.

Decision

Select an audience and prepare the campaign

Interest in your product, competitors and a condition provides different grounds for audience selection. The media brief defines composition, geography, timing and formats. The volume available for advertising is checked while preparing the campaign.

BrandCategoryShared movement
Conceptual comparison of brand and category interestHighlighted zones mark the parts where brand and category lines move in the same direction.START OF PERIODBEFORE FLIGHT
The lines show relative changes in interest over time. Their height does not represent sales or audience size.

Compare metrics with the same meaning

Each metric answers a different question and has a distinct place in the media brief.

Where interest is moving and when its pace changes relative to the selected observation history.

Query volume

The absolute number of search queries during the stated period.

Pharmatic Mindset:
interest and signal recency

Pharmatic Mindset analyses available interest signals: topic-specific articles, product leaflets, usage descriptions and pages linking to online pharmacies. It considers the connection to a category and the time since each signal. The team uses this information to build audiences for different stages of consideration.

Pharmatic Mindset

Our own traffic and external sources: topic-specific articles, product leaflets and product pages.

Our own signals and partner data

Fiscal data

Data from fiscal data operators (OFD) reflects completed purchases within the available sample. It helps identify buyers of a brand, competitors and related categories.

About fiscal data

Telecom data

Data from telecom partners can enrich an audience profile and help match ad exposure with purchases. The sources used depend on the project.

We specify sources, topics of interest, selection criteria, signal recency and geography. Examples for allergy, gastrointestinal conditions, respiratory infections and weight management illustrate the approach.

Combine interest in your brand, competitors and related products

Start with your product. Add groups interested in competitors or related categories if they fit the campaign objective. Geography and signal recency are set separately. The composition diagram shows the logic of selection; it should not be read as a sum of unique users.

Mindset segments are used on the web. InApp and CTV are planned through a separate partner; available settings and inventory are confirmed before launch.

How we measure
campaign outcomes

Seven dimensions, from contact quality to changes in interest, brand metrics and purchase behaviour. Measurement scope is agreed before launch.

Ad contact and response

01

Media quality

Invalid traffic · context · MRC viewability

Check where ads appeared and whether the contact was available to view.

02

Ad attention

Time on screen · ATR · scrolling

Assess the attention a creative received. The ATR calculation is agreed before launch.

03

Audience response

Clicks · CTR · video completions

Compare responses to formats and creatives to inform placement decisions.

04

Website actions

Post-click · target actions

With connected analytics, examine what users do after visiting the website.

Sales Lift methodology

How brand interest changes

Compare the interest index and query volume before, during and after the campaign. Account for seasonality and category events: this adds context, but does not by itself prove a sales uplift.
