The Challenge
Bayer, a large biopharma company based in Leverkusen, Germany, was seeking to enhance its customer engagement strategy for healthcare professionals (HCPs), patients, and caregivers. The company aimed to deliver personalized messages at the right time and place, but this required a shift from channel-specific thinking to a more connected approach across in-person and digital channels. The challenge was to integrate digital experiences with face-to-face communication and sales consultant activities, as well as patient and caregiver communication. Bayer also needed to establish foundational technology and optimize messaging across channels. Another challenge was to connect digital marketing and field force activities, which required understanding customer needs and leveraging data to tailor communication.
