A Message From the
DTC National Chairman
NETWORK WITH THE RIGHT DECISION MAKERS
Our 2015 DTC National will focus on patient power. A number of forces have been responsible for increasing power
of patients. Their employers and insurers have been shifting cost to them through higher deductibles and co-pays.
Now most patients are basically self-insured and can
spend thousands before getting reimbursed. This means they
are demanding their services and products be high value for that
added cost.
We also have increasing information dedicated to educating patients on price/value. This means consumer
patients will expect providers to justify what is prescribed.
Physicians will be expected to know what drugs cost
and why they are prescribing a branded drug versus a
generic or OTC.
The power of the patient is also being enabled by technology
advances. The new patient expects 24/7 access to health information. Physicians are increasingly expected to communicate
through mobile and online. Patients are self tracking their vital
signs, keeping electronic records and taking more ownership of
what health services they use.
What all this means to drug and device companies is the need
to be more patient centric. Branded drugs will need to engage
patients long term while on the drug prescribed. Patients expect
more information, and instant access to information on the drug
and how to properly use it. Drug and device companies must
integrate the idea of patient power throughout drug development and launch.
DTC will need to do more than awareness advertising. Patient
engagement and ongoing patient interaction will be key to success. We hope you enjoy our 2015 speakers and the focus this
year.

DAY1 THE TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE LANDSCAPE
MAIN CONFERENCE AGENDA
12:30 - 12:45
Welcome to the DTC National Conference 2015
12:45 - 1:30
The New Healthcare Consumer
Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, Health Economist and Advisor, THINK-Health, Health Populi blog and HealthcareDIY
The new patient/consumer is changing. With rising co-pays and deductibles, consumers are generally selfinsured unless a serious illness occurs. As a result of these greater out-of-pocket costs, they have become
much more involved in their health product decisions. Noted health economist and leading expert on consumer trends in healthcare, Jane Sarasohn-Kahn, will discuss what drug companies need to do to tap into
the growing trends of greater consumer control over health decisions.
1:30 - 2:00
The Patient Community is Organized and Active
Michael Evers, Executive Vice President of Marketing and Patient Advocacy, PatientsLikeMe
Patients are using the web to organize, collecting and sharing information with their peers. All disease states
have online support communities and drug companies need to know how to handle this growing area.
Patient feedback on medications has shown to be a huge influence as group members research treatment
options. Learn how to work with the online community from one of the largest networks of patient groups,
PatientsLikeMe.
2:00 - 2:45
The Physician Speaks: The Involved Consumer and My Practice

Business Development, Baltimore Orthopedics & Rehabilitation
Practicing physicians share how consumers are changing the patient-doctor discussion. How do physicians
deal with increased consumer knowledge and questions? Are consumers asking about price of products
and pushing back on expensive tests/products? What can drug and device companies do to help aid doctors in this dialogue to encourage and support a more involved patient?
2:45 - 3:30 Networking Break Sponsored by NNN
3:30 - 4:00
Engaging with the New Patient
Nancy Phelan, Head, Customer Engagement Center, WWCO, Bristol-Myers Squibb
It’s no secret that it has become increasingly harder to reach and engage with consumers. But with the new

advanced patient.
4:00 - 4:30
The Future of Television: Maximize Media Planning with Game-Changing Analytics
Jeremy Mittler, VP Analytics Services, Crossix Solutions / John Stermer, Executive Vice President, Business Development, Nielsen Catalina Solutions
Media planning can be made more efficient and brands can extend their budgets significantly. Marketers
can now utilize data and insights they need to make more informed – and ultimately more impactful – decisions to improve TV performance in a way they couldn’t before. NCS and Crossix worked with a top pharma
brand and its media agency to monitor audience reach and optimize campaign impact. Learn how you can
leverage an innovative, consumer-centric TV optimization solution to improve your TV marketing reach in
significant ways.
4:30 - 5:15 How Do Advertising Experts View The New Consumer/Patient?

Panelists: Matt Anthony, President & CEO, Y&R North America / Howard Courtemanche, Global CEO,
Health, JWT / Eric Weisberg, Creative Director, JWT / Alex Jutkowitz, Managing Partner, Group SJR

with a more informed and active patient population.

to develop a program that would empower patients, improve conversations with their rheumatologist, and
provide much-need support along the way.
9:45 - 10:15
Humanizing the Message to Consumers
Marc Weiss, Director, Multi-Channel Marketing, Bristol-Myers Squibb / Mark McConaghy, SVP, Strategic
Planning & Analytics, Evoke Health
Having a discussion about health with consumers can be a daunting task, especially for pharmaceutical
marketers whose credibility is frequently questioned. When there is truly something new and exciting to
tell consumers, how can marketers take their message to the street and get patients to not only listen, but
actively engage? Drawing from a BMS-Evoke Health case study, this session will focus on ways in which
marketers can demonstrate authenticity through delivering valued experiences that help consumers seek

Despite Black and Hispanic audiences comprising approximately 40% of pDPN (painful diabetic peripheral
neuropathy) patients, these ethnicities are significantly underdiagnosed. Lyrica’s marketing team found that
unique cultural barriers called for DTC communications with better targeting and messaging. Building a robust plan to address each population segment’s specific needs, the Lyrica team was able to better connect
with Blacks and Hispanics, leading to more diagnoses and better outcomes for patients.

by reacting to findings from the original study, Online Communities and Patient-Centricity 2015. This February 2015 study, with results presented for the first time ever during this session, will feature both data and

Breakfast
9:00 - 9:30
Health Renaissance in the Pharmacy
Cathy Paulson, Director, National Accounts Biopharmaceutical Development, Walgreens / Jim O’Dea,
President and CEO, Rx EDGE Pharmacy Networks
The role of the pharmacy in healthcare delivery has grown tremendously – and is expected to continue doing so as time goes on. Hear from the nation’s largest drugstore chain about the changes in the pharmacy
landscape and what they mean for the pharma community. The pharmacy should be viewed as part of a
multi-channel strategy, utilized for segmentation, targeting, and media effectiveness. Drawing from an industry case study, understand what’s available to a pharma marketer and how those tools can be applied today.
9:30 - 10:00 How Brands Compete with Generics
Michelle Blechman, Associate Director, Marketing Sciences, Astellas
Pharma brand marketers need to know consumers’ perceptions of generic drugs, as well as their attitudes
and usage overall, to position their brands effectively within a category. This study addresses a number of
critical issues in the brand vs. generic landscape: What do consumers understand (or think they do) about
generics? Who influences patients’ views and choices? Just how much of a role does cost really play? What
tradeoffs are consumers are willing to make when choosing between a brand and generic? What types of
messaging might help consumers select a branded medication?
10:00 - 10:30
10:30 - 11:00 Understanding and Leveraging the Bumpy Road of Behavior Change
Kathleen Starr, Ph.D., Senior VP, Behavioral Strategy, Adheris Health
To be truly engaged with patients, DTC efforts need to be reshaped with appreciation for the real life concerns that affect health behaviors. Marketers can help consumers to realize positive behavior change – but
only if the forces that serve as obstacles or aids on the path to change are properly understood by industry
first. Sharing results from a two-year-long study by Adheris Health’s Behavior Insights Group, Dr. Kathleen
Starr will detail how to leverage the principles of behavioral science to tailor healthcare communications
with a true understanding of what impacts behavior change.
