Disease state awareness campaigns are critical for helping biopharma manufacturers to reach HCPs and patients, particularly before a product is approved. These awareness campaigns play an especially prominent role in helping the treatment ecosystem understand diseases that with traditionally fewer therapies available.

While some organizations have demonstrated strong acumen in their disease awareness programs, many drug manufacturers struggle to effectively connect their campaigns to their targeted audiences, stumble on message timing, and fail to allocate sufficient resources.

Best Practices, LLC undertook this benchmarking research to spotlight effective practices around the timing, investment, and top activities for successful disease awareness programs. This report presents a slew of insights, best practices, and pitfalls that top biopharma organizations have learned from many of their new and recent disease awareness campaigns.
