Medical congresses are a cornerstone of pharmaceutical marketing. They bring together key opinion leaders, healthcare professionals, and industry innovators, providing a unique opportunity for pharma brands to showcase their latest advancements. However, to truly maximize the impact of a medical congress, companies need a strategic marketing approach that spans before, during, and after the event.
Historically, medical conferences have served as a pivotal moment for pharmaceutical companies to launch products and introduce groundbreaking research. Around these events, there has always been an inherent uplift in engagement and discussions. However, in the wake of COVID-19, healthcare marketing strategies have shifted toward more short-term planning, leading to a critical need for more structured and sustained post-conference engagement.
Most of the meaningful interactions don’t happen during the event itself but in the period that follows, when studies are published, discussions deepen, and healthcare professionals seek out relevant insights. Recognizing this shift, G-Med has developed a comprehensive Post-Congress Package designed to ensure that brands maintain their momentum long after the event ends.
Before a congress even begins, pharmaceutical companies must create awareness and anticipation. This is the time to engage healthcare professionals, build excitement, and position a brand or product as a must-see at the event. Targeted digital campaigns play a crucial role in informing potential attendees about upcoming presentations, product launches, or booth activations. Email outreach and social media promotions further drive engagement, while sponsored content and collaborations with key opinion leaders help establish credibility and highlight key topics that will be addressed during the congress. The goal is to ensure that when the event starts, attendees are already familiar with the brand and actively seeking out its content.
Once the congress is in full swing, pharmaceutical marketers must focus on capturing real-time engagement to keep their brand top-of-mind. Given the sheer volume of information being shared at these events, brands must be agile and interactive to stand out. Live content updates through social media posts, blogs, or video snippets help maintain relevance and sustain audience interest. Sponsored sessions and booths provide an opportunity for direct engagement with attendees, while personalized messaging and targeted ads based on real-time interactions ensure that the right content reaches the right people at the right moment. Digital tools have also enhanced accessibility, allowing even those who cannot attend in person to engage with the congress content and stay connected with the discussions.
Although the congress itself may be over, the real engagement begins in the post-event phase. This stage is critical for reinforcing key messages and ensuring that healthcare professionals take action based on what they learned. The most significant discussions, content dissemination, and decision-making happen post-congress, making it the most valuable period for pharma marketers. This is precisely why G-Med launched its Post-Congress Package, a solution specifically tailored to extend the value of congress participation beyond the event itself.
G-Med’s Post-Congress Package includes a hosted content plan that runs for 30 days with polls to maintain continuous engagement. It also incorporates display banner ads in both standard and native in-feed formats, delivering more than 20,000 impressions. Bespoke HTML emails and direct messages ensure personalized outreach to healthcare professionals, reinforcing key takeaways from the congress. Most importantly, this package guarantees performance with 50,000 total impressions, a minimum of 4,400 minutes of exposure, and at least 2,000 guaranteed views.
By leveraging this package, pharmaceutical marketers can continue the conversation with healthcare professionals, reinforcing their brand message and driving deeper engagement well beyond the congress itself. Pharma marketing surrounding medical congresses should not be limited to the event alone. A well-structured pre-, during-, and post-congress marketing strategy is essential for driving meaningful engagement and return on investment.
G-Med’s Post-Congress Package offers a complete solution for marketers looking to sustain the impact of their congress participation, ensuring that their messages continue to reach the right audience at the right time long after the event doors close.
