Pfizer, Inc.

Marketing Challenge:

Each year a flood of new pharmaceutical drugs are introduced to the market, making it difficult for doctors to keep abreast of how best to utilize new treatments to improve patient care. This is particularly true for the treatment of hypertension, where pharmaceutical research has produced numerous new drug treatments in recent years along with a dizzying amount of informational literature for doctors to digest. In launching Norvasc, a breakthrough drug treatment for patients diagnosed for hypertension and angina, Pfizer wanted to communicate with doctors in a way that cut through the noise, educated doctors about the benefits of the drug, and helped the doctors make smart decisions about how the drug could improve patient care.

Results with 3-D:

Pfizer and its advertising agency Anderson Advertising provided custom 3-D reels and viewers for use by the company's sales representatives in seminars and training sessions with doctors. The campaign generated outstanding results for Pfizer, with the Norvasc educational reels and viewers used by 3000 Pfizer sales representatives to help thousands of doctors learn about the new treatment in way that was educational, entertaining, and memorable. The 3-D reels and viewers ultimately became the centerpiece of a multi-stage marketing campaign that broadened doctor awareness of the drug even further.
