Strong relationships with advocacy groups are fundamental for educating the public on most recent medical happenings, especially on socially-sensitive conditions and treatment options. This comprehensive study analyzes the best practices from leading companies, narrates their findings, details valuable statistics and, examines ideal structures and skill sets for pharma groups that deal with advocacy groups and emerging trends and challenges in patient advocacy.


Insights are drawn from survey responses from a total of 58 research participants at 43 pharmaceutical companies. More than a dozen in-depth interviews were conducted to gather more detailed information pertinent to this study.

Study Snapshot

This performance benchmarking study probes best practices in working with Patient Advocacy groups, in particular groups that deal with socially sensitive conditions.

Follwing are the key topic areas discussed in-depth with supporting narratives, metrics and charts:

  • Understanding the “advocacy” landscape
  • Effective practices for working with potentially hostile patient advocacy groups
  • Advocacy structures that work best
  • Advocacy tools
  • Critical competencies of Advocacy professionals
  • Advocacy Lessons learned from socially sensitive or stigmatized disease areas
  • Profiling Advocacy Group experience & expertise

Fifty-eight representatives from 43 companies shared their insights in the benchmark survey and more than a dozen agreed to interviews. Approximately half of the class represented top-50 bio-pharma companies.

Key Findings

Mapping The Advocacy Landscape To Know Where To Start:

    Assess the landscape of advocacy and community-interest groups to understand the broad spectrum of players, special interests and possible collaborators. Different groups may prove more valuable collaborators at different stages of the product and disease lifecycle. Some groups will be friendly; some groups may prove hostile. Creating an advocacy “topographical” map is useful to strategic advocacy planning.
  • Structuring High Performance Bio-Pharma Advocacy Groups:
    Advocacy structures are rapidly evolving. Hybrid bio-pharma advocacy structures are most common. Internal advocacy organizations are evenly distributed across brand-focused groups, centralized groups, therapeutically focused groups and those with a mix of brand and therapeutic elements. Higher-functioning advocacy functions have developed a system for measuring the effectiveness of activities and relationships. Soft metrics or no metrics are most common.
