Content, social and paid

Pharmaceutical
marketing agency

Marketing that survives the approval process.

We are a pharmaceutical marketing agency running content, SEO, LinkedIn and paid media for regulated companies across Europe. Everything we publish is built to pass the same review your internal teams apply — because campaigns that cannot be approved never run.

Pharmaceutical marketing services
Six marketing service areas

services: content, SEO,
social and paid media

Pharma marketing is constrained in ways most agencies discover halfway through a campaign: what can be claimed, who can be targeted, and what has to happen when someone reports a side effect in a comment.

Scope

What pharmaceutical
marketing requires

Marketing inside the limits

Pharmaceutical marketing is defined by what is not allowed. Claims are bounded by the approved label, some channels reject pharma advertising outright, and anything published can generate an adverse-event report that has to be routed within a defined window.

In scope

SEO and content, social media and LinkedIn management, HCP and patient communications, paid media, email and CRM automation, conversion optimisation, analytics and employer branding.

Out of scope

Activity requiring a regulatory sign-off role we do not hold, advising on what may be claimed about a product, and acting as your pharmacovigilance function. We build the workflow; those responsibilities stay with you.

An OTC brand can advertise to the public. A prescription-only laboratory cannot. That single distinction rewrites the entire pharmaceutical marketing plan.

Pharmaceutical marketing process
Four stages

How we run
pharmaceutical marketing

We apply the same four stages we use for platforms. Pharmaceutical marketing campaigns that skip the analysis phase are the ones that stall in review.

CONSTRAINTS FIRST
01
01

We establish what is allowed before proposing anything

Pharmaceutical marketing is defined by its limits. We sit down with your medical, regulatory and legal contacts at the start, because a plan built without them is a plan that stalls in review and burns the budget before anything is published.

What we agree

What may be claimed and where. Which audiences can be addressed and which cannot. Which channels accept the activity in each market. Acceptable sources and referencing standards. What needs formal review and what does not.

What we document

The boundaries in writing, so production does not renegotiate them every week, and so a new team member does not reopen a settled question.

Result

A plan that can actually be approved, agreed with the people who do the approving rather than presented to them afterwards.

PHARMACOVIGILANCE ROUTING
02
02

The adverse-event procedure comes before the first post

Any public channel can generate an adverse-event report. In pharma social media management the routing has to exist before the channel opens, not after the first comment arrives on a Friday evening.

What we define

What counts as a report. Who is notified and within what window. What the moderator does in the meantime and what they must never do. How every case is logged and handed over.

Where responsibility sits

We operate the process and the channel. The pharmacovigilance obligation stays with your PV function, and the procedure is written so that division is unambiguous.

Result

A channel your pharmacovigilance team has signed off on operating, which is the condition for it existing at all.

PRODUCTION AND PUBLISHING
03
03

Assets built to pass review

We produce content and campaigns designed around the approval workflow: modular assets, sourced claims and versions that can be adjusted without starting again. That is the difference between a pharmaceutical content operation that ships and one that accumulates drafts.

What we run

SEO and content programmes, social and LinkedIn management, HCP content and patient communications kept properly separate, paid media within the platform restrictions of each market, and email or CRM automation.

How we produce

Modular assets so a rejected claim does not invalidate the whole piece. Sources attached from the first draft. A review queue with realistic lead times built into the calendar.

Result

Work that ships on schedule because review was designed in rather than discovered at the end.

MEASUREMENT
04
04

Measuring honestly after a strict consent banner

European consent rates break most analytics setups, and pretending otherwise produces confident reporting built on nothing. We build measurement that still answers real questions and we are explicit about what is observed and what is modelled.

What we measure

Branded versus non-branded visibility, so growth is not just people who already knew you. Qualified enquiries rather than raw traffic. Channel contribution. How the site is being cited by AI search.

How we set it up

Consent-aware configuration, server-side handling where it is appropriate and lawful, and clear labelling of which numbers are estimates.

Result

Reporting that supports a decision instead of decorating a slide, and that holds up when someone asks how the number was produced.

Pharmaceutical marketing FAQ

Pharmaceutical marketing questions

What regulated companies ask before handing over a channel.

Can pharmaceutical companies advertise on social media?

It depends on the product and the audience. Prescription-only medicines cannot be advertised to the public in the EU, and several platforms restrict pharmaceutical advertising further. Corporate, disease-awareness and professional-facing activity is generally possible, and that is where most of the opportunity sits.

How do you handle adverse events reported in comments?

With a defined routing procedure agreed with your pharmacovigilance team before the channel goes live: what counts as a report, who is notified, within what window, and what the moderator does in the meantime. We operate the process; the responsibility stays with your PV function.

Why is LinkedIn worth it if we cannot advertise medicines?

Because the audience is there even though the use case is different. LinkedIn works well for professional engagement, recruitment, corporate positioning and partner visibility, none of which requires product advertising or a medical claim. In this sector it is frequently the channel where decision-makers and investors actively pay attention.

Our legal team blocks everything. How does that work in practice?

By involving them at planning rather than at approval. Most blocking happens because the first time legal sees an asset is when it is finished. Agreeing the boundaries up front — what can be claimed, which sources are acceptable, what needs review — turns approval into a check rather than a negotiation.

Can you measure anything with a strict consent banner?

Yes, but the setup has to be built for it. That means server-side handling where appropriate, consent-aware configuration and accepting that some data is modelled rather than observed. The alternative — a tracking setup that quietly breaks after consent — is worse than measuring less.

Do you also handle the website the campaigns point to?

Usually, and it changes the outcome more than clients expect. When one team runs both the platform and the campaigns, landing pages, conversion tracking and lead follow-up stay connected instead of splitting across two suppliers who each blame the other when a campaign underperforms. It also means changes reach the site the same week they are agreed.
