Week 8 - MBA 6101 - Guerilla Marketing Techniques in the Pharmaceutical Industry

In chapter 8 of Guerilla Marketing, Jay Conrad Levinson discusses how to make your marketing efforts stand out and get noticed in a crowded marketplace. It's about thinking outside the box and being creative with your messaging, tactics, and strategies to grab the attention of your audience.




When it comes to the pharmaceutical industry, there are many challenges to marketing drugs and medical devices. The industry is heavily regulated, and there are strict guidelines that must be followed when promoting pharmaceutical products. However, this doesn't mean that there isn't room for creative marketing tactics. In fact, in some cases, guerilla marketing techniques can be highly effective in the pharmaceutical industry.

One way to use guerilla marketing in the pharmaceutical industry is by focusing on education and awareness. Instead of simply promoting a drug or medical device, you can create content that helps people understand the condition or disease that the product is intended to treat. For example, you could create an infographic that explains the symptoms of a disease and how it affects the body. This type of content can be highly engaging and shareable, and it can help build trust and credibility with your audience.




Another way to use guerilla marketing in the pharmaceutical industry is by leveraging social media. Social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are powerful tools for reaching a wide audience quickly and easily. By creating engaging content that is designed to be shared on social media, you can build buzz and excitement around your product or message.

One example of guerilla marketing in the pharmaceutical industry is the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Ice Bucket Challenge. This viral social media campaign raised awareness of ALS and raised millions of dollars for research. The campaign involved people dumping buckets of ice water on their heads and challenging others to do the same or make a donation to the ALS Association. The campaign went viral on social media, and it generated a tremendous amount of publicity and awareness for ALS.



Finally, another way to use guerilla marketing in the pharmaceutical industry is by partnering with influencers or advocates who can help promote your message or product. This could be a patient advocacy group, a celebrity spokesperson, or an online influencer with a large following. By leveraging the reach and influence of these individuals or groups, you can amplify your message and reach a wider audience.

In conclusion, guerilla marketing provides many valuable insights and strategies that can be applied in the pharmaceutical industry. By thinking creatively and being willing to take risks, you can create marketing campaigns that are highly effective and memorable. Whether it's through educational content, social media, or influencer partnerships, there are many ways to use guerilla marketing to promote pharmaceutical products and raise awareness of important health issues.

Week 2 - MBA 6101 - Creating a Website and Domain with Google Sites: As Easy as 123

As a beginner in website design, I would have thought it necessary to have some coding or design background to create my own website. Of course, I remember the days of Myspace where we all had our own "websites," using the most basic of HTLM codes to customize wallpaper or music. But Google Sites makes it even easier than those days of the past, with templates, simple blocking, options to upload images directly using a Google Image search, and even embedding links, all with a simple click of a button or two. You should know, a Google account is required to create a site using Google Sites. If you need assistance with setting up a Google account you can find information on that here . Once you have an account set up you will need to access your Google Drive . From here, you can create a multitude of documents, forms, or even a site. To create a website, simply click the "New" button, hover over "More," and click on "Google Sites."         From her

Clinical trials are crucial for the development and approval of new medical treatments and drugs. However, ensuring the safety of the participants is of utmost importance. This is where the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) can play a significant role. These technologies can help streamline the safety oversight process and make it more effective, thereby improving the overall quality of clinical trials. Here are some of the key applications of AI and ML in safety oversight for clinical trials: 1.    Adverse Event Monitoring: AI algorithms can be trained to detect and identify adverse events that occur during a clinical trial. The algorithms can analyze large amounts of data quickly and accurately, which can help identify potential safety risks earlier and prevent adverse events from reoccurring. 2.   Predictive Modeling: AI algorithms can be used to develop predictive models that can help identify participants who are at higher risk of experiencing adverse e
