The only real thing we’ve been able to count on since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic is change. The pandemic has impacted every aspect of our lives, and so people are looking—with hope, and uncertainty—at what may lie ahead. By most objective measures, in the United States, we are either nearing the top of the first proverbial wave of cases or have recently passed it. Health experts, economists, and politicians are now starting to consider how to re-open the economy in the absence of proven highly effective treatments nor a vaccine. Early clinical trials of treatments show promise, but it will take months before we have definitive evidence. Development of a vaccine will take at least a year.
Whatever new guidelines are ultimately developed at the state or federal level, they will undoubtedly aim to open parts of the economy while maintaining the current health best practices of social distancing, consistent hand washing, and wearing protective gear in public places. It’s hard to imagine a boomerang of activity in industries and institutions that rely on or require crowds, such as sporting events, schools, movie theaters, concerts, restaurants, and others. Governments can allow those businesses to re-open but can’t force people to go to them. Until people can feel safe in large crowds, our social and business environment will likely continue to look very much the way they do today.
One of the most interesting developments we’ve seen as a new normal set in is growth in all things digital. We’ve probably jumped five to 10 years into the future in many areas due to the social constraints of distancing. We’ve become more physically atomized and emotionally cohesive at the same time. This is a paradigm shift and many things will look very different during and after this pandemic. I’ve looked into my crystal ball and here are some observations and predictions of what those things will be—related to media, health, and beyond.

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA – CMI/Compas, media strategy, planning, innovation and buying powerhouse for the nation’s top healthcare companies and part of WPP, announces the launch of Empower™, the health industry’s first and only closed-loop planning platform that enables continuous and personalized “insight to action” at scale. Empower allows CMI/Compas to close the loop on integrated consumer/HCP audience planning, messaging and outreach, making every campaign more effective. The platform offers cross-audience customer universe identification, segmentation, media planning, activation, measurement and on-going people-based optimization.
“Empower is a one-touch, complete and accurate audience-enablement platform that allows our media teams to build the most effective media plans on behalf of their clients,” said Justin Freid, Chief Growth & Innovation Officer. “Having direct access to audience identification, segmentation, insights, mapping and development of cross-channel media interactions at scale is something that has never been done in our industry, let alone activation of that audience across channels,” continues Freid. “We can create the plan, war game the plan, and then measure. Empower allows us to engage with individual audiences, understand the best way to reach them, and optimize the plan across the brand’s ecosystem.”
“The healthcare sector is so complex, with many stakeholders that are part of the decision process and are all interdependent. The Empower platform was designed to replicate this environment, and it is because of that interconnectivity that Empower is so powerful. It allows us to look across the constellation of stakeholders, to plan for those stakeholders, as well as across any and all audiences, generating insight and cross-channel media access blueprint that ultimately guides the best action-based media strategy and nonpersonal communication plan,” said Dr. Susan Dorfman, President, CMI.
The power of Empower is having a birds-eye view into possible connection points between consumers and HCP specific to diagnosis and condition, building connection points between the two and defining your audience segments, understanding the consumer and HCP audiences and their unique needs and ways of reaching them, knowing what the competition is doing, defining an investment, messaging and media strategy to bring them together, build a plan, execute, manage and measure and then optimizing based on leading and lagging indicators.
By leveraging HCP and consumer data together, CMI/Compas is able to achieve integrated messaging to inform audience, messaging, media strategy, and ultimately drive engagement to impact your brand’s bottom line. The Empower platform allows the creation of audiences from over 265 million consumers and 1.5 million healthcare professionals across 26 physician specialties, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, RNs, pharmacists, medical students and other prescribers.
CMI/Compas’ in-depth knowledge of consumers and prescribers, the media landscape, innovation, and customer-specific analytics allow us to create seamless multi-channel marketing campaigns for our clients, yielding superior customer experience and incremental positive ROI.
The company delivers game-changing media performance and precision solutions to clients, fueled by talent, data, technology and amplification of creative.

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA – CMI/Compas, media strategy, planning, innovation and buying for the nation’s top healthcare companies and part of WPP, announces two major RFP wins representing continued partnerships that each have spanned several decades. The clients are in the top 10 largest global pharma companies. They are part of a winning streak that has led the company to remarkable YOY growth.

“Our ability to defend this client business, one company spanning 20 years with us and the other 30 years, were both attributed to indispensability as a proven long-term partner consistently delivering on best of people, data, technology and innovation,” noted CEO Stan Woodland. “This comes from our proven ability to continuously exceed expectations and business performance goals of our existing clients, and leveraging that ability to bring unexpected value to all new ones we onboard.”
“We are known for many things – our work engaging HCP and consumer audiences, overdelivering for clients, and ideas that have shaped the industry. What these wins are telling us is that the foundation we have built with our clients is sustainable,” said Compas President John Donovan. “Helping our clients reach and exceed their goals is possible because we have prioritized and greatly invested in innovation, across our people, our services and our proprietary products.”
“We invest deeply in our clients, as we do in our people, our data and our technology to ensure that we not only bring immense on-going value to those we already serve, but also drive the business and innovation of communications media forward,” said CMI President Dr. Susan Dorfman. “In a time when competition is fierce, innovation is ever-flowing and the communications media industry is more fragmented than ever before, it’s critical to not only evolve what we do and how we do it, but rather be a game-changer for our industry and our clients.”

June is Pride Month, a time to show support to the LGBTQ community and recognize that we still have a ways to go in achieving equality. It is a popular movement for brands, many of whom support the effort with sales that benefit different nonprofits. But increasingly, many brands aren’t making their efforts genuine and supportive and the backlash (or as the kids say, clapback) has been fierce this year. Some brands are using the iconic rainbow in merchandise but aren’t donating money, others are participating in a more supportive way but at the same time supporting other initiatives that are anti-LGBTQ. This article makes a few suggestions on how to do it right, making a real and genuine impact on this important cause.

Human behavior update from Amanda Kopec Preto, Director, Marketing: In this week’s episode of The Hidden Brain podcast called “People Like Us,” they dive into a really interesting discussion around significantly improved health outcomes when patients are treated by physicians of the same race. They studied black men in America, and found that they were more likely to take the recommendations of an HCP, discuss preventive treatments, and even agree to more invasive testing when treated by physicians who were also black. One point the study uncovered was that the black doctors spent more time having non-medical conversations about life and interests with them, which resulted in a higher level of trust.

Scoop exclusive: coming from Instagram’s Health Summit yesterday, our Drive social team members shared the following key takeaways on what’s hot and what’s next (see also some choice nuggets from our social feeds in our Instagram story and Twitter):
We know that Instagram isn’t only for millennials and the stats back it up! There are 30M age 45+ monthly active users, with the average user in this age range opening their Instagram app 15x per day! Additionally, content strategies should be tailored towards the social behaviors of these Gen X (ages 40-54) and Baby Boomer (ages 55-75) audiences. Gen X is using social for symptom information, discussing healthcare issues and searching for treatment options. Baby Boomers are most inclined to use the internet for healthcare research and want to see content on managing specific conditions. Messaging to these audiences should inform on identifying symptoms and managing specific health conditions, with an emphasis on sensitivity towards their privacy where possible.
There are many ways a brand can utilize Instagram, depending on their level of comfort and familiarity. A brand can run ads on IG without a profile using Facebook page backed ads. This can be set up as a test and learn opportunity to assess an ad’s effectiveness on the platform, without the heavy lift of creating and building out an IG profile — this allows for feed and even story ads, all grounded in the brand’s FB page. If results demonstrate effectiveness, a brand can then establish an IG handle, build a page and run organic or paid content (including feed/story ads). It’s important to note that at any point, comments can be disabled, which would remove the need for community management and AE reporting. If a brand wants to go all in, we can explore creative optimization by focusing on placement asset customization — that is, recommending different creative for different placements on the platform. A feed ad looks much different from a story ad, and different creative elements will pop depending on where the ad is running. The CMI/Compas social team will be able to talk through all these options and advise the most appropriate path to take.
Valuable tips to consider when it comes to healthcare-specific IG creative:
One more nugget from yesterday – Instagram announced paid partnership content, a sort of advertising/native/influencer mashup where influencers can promote content to newsfeeds even to those who don’t follow them. Cool.
Google search algorithm update from Mike Picciau, Associate Analyst, SEM & Emerging Media: Google pre-announced that it would be rolling out a new brand core search algorithm update in June. These core updates impact how search results are ranked and listed in the Google search results. What now? Check your web analytics and Search Console performance reports over the next week or so to see if your site was impacted at all from this algorithm update. If it was, there is little you can do to “fix” it. Google recommends as with any update, some sites may note drops or gains. There’s nothing wrong with pages that may now perform less well. Instead, it’s that changes to our systems are benefiting pages that were previously under-rewarded. From Google: “There’s no ‘fix’ for pages that may perform less well other than to remain focused on building great content. Over time, it may be that your content may rise relative to other pages.” In short, Google recommends you focus efforts on making your site better.
Google targeting update from Aidan Paggao and Connor Riley, Associate Analysts, SEM & Emerging Media: Google has announced that they are rolling out a change to location targeting in Google Ads. The targeting option “People in your targeted locations”, which excluded anyone outside of that targeted location, is being updated to “People in or regularly in your targeted locations”. This update aims to include people who physically travel to or regularly commute to your targeted location. This new advanced option is a way to get your message to a targeted audience that may live outside of your targeted location, but frequently travel to that location. In an increasingly mobile world, people are always on the go. With the support of machine learning, this minor but important change will be a continuous aid in tracking and targeting these audiences. This will also be beneficial for analyzing and reporting on more segmented data.
Earlier this week Apple announced it’s dismantling iTunes into three parts: Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Podcasts. I was a little surprised to see that most news coverage and Twitter response seems positive (Wired seems particularly happy about this). People have just evolved in how they want to access media, and Apple seems to be paying attention. iTunes is dead, long live iTunes.
In a heartbreaking twist to an already bizarre story, experts are now saying that the twin girls who were part of a gene-editing experiment by a researcher-gone-rogue in China will likely have a shorter lifespan because of the way their genes were edited. The aim of the researcher was to make them resistant to HIV, but the result may be that they are more susceptible to many other harmful diseases.
Scientists have designed a suit that allows younger people to understand how it feels to be elderly, and in this WBUR story a group of architects wear the suit to see if their designs are inclusive enough (spoiler alert: they’re not.) Some of the realizations: open spaces didn’t allow places for people to sit and rest or steady themselves; glossy floors meant falls were more likely; escalators were nearly impossible to use.
In another step toward integrating AI in their ad efforts, Microsoft is replacing its Opportunities page with the Recommendations tab, which the company says will give advertisers more efficiency in their ad campaigns. Thanks to Mike Picciau, Associate Analyst, SEM & Emerging Media for this story.
Yesterday was totally bananas. I highly recommend checking out our Instagram and Facebook stories. Keep an eye on our Instagram feed and story today; a few socialites (is that a correct use of that word?) on our social team are at the Instagram Health Summit, soaking up the latest highly relevant content for pharma brands. A lot of the info will be under NDA, but the team will aim to share some nuggets in tomorrow’s Scoop as well.
Apple update from Mark Pappas, VP, SEM & Emerging Media: The Apple Developer Conference keynote was yesterday and Apple has rolled out some new health features for Apple Watch:
Facebook update from Meagan Dollard, Associate Analyst, Social Media: Facebook is continuing to update their algorithm to serve the most relevant content at the top of users’ Newsfeeds. In addition to prioritizing content from close friends and favorite brands, the Facebook algorithm will also take into account Pages and Groups that users care most about. Indicators of favorite Pages and Groups include how long a user has followed a Page or been in a Group, user engagement with the Page/Group, and how often the Page or Group posts. The frequency of organically posting may become even more important in order to rank highly on a user’s Facebook Newsfeed. Marketers will need to find a balance between organically posting enough to qualify as priority content, but not too much to be considered clickbait. This algorithm update aligns with Facebook’s initiative to prioritize groups, which was announced at F8. Stay tuned for our POV, which will be released later this month, on how this will better facilitate health conversations and potentially attract more patients and caregivers to the platform.
What is truly important to patients? New reports show the evolution of personal health over the last decade; for example, more people are concerned about anxiety than obesity today, and concern about health overall includes wellbeing and happiness.
In a test to gauge how easy it is for addicts to get help, particularly in high-overdose areas, researchers pretended to be addicts trying to get addiction treatment doctor appointments. The results were really pretty sad. Much of the contact information on the government resource website they used was out of date. Once they found the correct information, it took several calls to reach someone to make an appointment. And in many cases they were still denied an appointment, particularly if they were on Medicaid.
North Face is apologizing after a campaign that involved hacking Wikipedia pages to add beauty shots of their products. Being on Wikipedia is strong for brands, but you gotta earn it, baby.
This essay by a physician calls for better sleep in the hospital – for both patients and HCPs. She notes that sleep is essential to health, but patients are routinely woken throughout the night for vitals checks. She also notes that physicians are often expected to work on very little sleep, although as another doctor she quotes says, “It’s worthwhile remembering that after being awake for 22 hours straight, you are as cognitively impaired as if you were legally drunk. Nobody would accept medical care from an inebriated doctor. Yet we must accept medical care from doctors who are similarly impaired due to the lack of sleep the system imposes on them.”
Amazon advertising update from George Tarnopolsky, VP, Programmatic: In an anticipated move, Amazon on Friday announced that it is acquiring the Sizmek ad server as it ramps up its advertising efforts. In the recent years, Amazon made big inroads with the Amazon DSP, powered with Amazon’s shopping intent and purchase data. While the Amazon DSP has restricted buying for pharma campaigns, it has been popular with Direct Response and especially Retail brands. The acquisition of an ad server further builds out the Amazon ad stack, and mirrors Google’s DV360 DSP and Campaign Manager ad server value proposition. An in-house ad server will help direct some buyers to go “all-in” on the Amazon ad platform, with both ad server and DSP components. It will be interesting to watch whether Amazon succeeds at integrating Sizmek into its stack—and whether it continues to add to the platform, for example building or buying an SEM offering.
NYC taxi ads are going programmatic, thanks to Alphabet-funded Firefly. They started this weekend with 300 screens but their aim is to reach 3,500.
Verizon is running a new campaign showing how 5G will impact medicine, and the ad itself is pretty cool – if you’re reading this on your phone, click this link and see the AR feature as well as videos. For more on how 5G will impact our industry, see our recent POV.
Mole-rats, which fall into the category of rodents I didn’t know about but am now scared of since seeing photos, don’t feel pain and are being studied by scientists who would like to try to manage pain in humans.
This article offers a good overview of a few different scientific studies related to gut microbiomes, which are being explored for diabetes, IBD and pregnancy health.
New studies indicate that body parts react to night/day circadian rhythms independently from the brain, which could be one reason that significantly changing your sleep schedule or not getting enough sleep can really impact health.
Pokemon Go is looking to gamify sleep with a new device that will collect data as a user sleeps and reward them for a good night’s sleep. Sleep is definitely the hot health target for disruption, with companies ranging from Fitbit to Casper trying to find creative ways to get people to sleep more – a bigger challenge than it seems (see, for example, this article from Scoop yesterday showing that people are checking their phones in the middle of the night). This isn’t the craziest idea – gamification is an effective tactic, and Pokemon Go did get many people out and walking around. Thanks to Kristine Dyer, Director, Media, for this story.
An experiment by a reporter at the Washington Post found that although Apple says user privacy is a major priority, thousands of apps available in the iTunes store collect data. The reporter, who worked with a former NSA researcher who now works to protect individual data, calls for apps to clearly label when they are using third-party trackers. Thanks to Justin Freid, EVP, Managing Director, Growth and Innovation, for this story.
A bill gaining traction in the California Senate would require smart home device manufacturers to get user permission before recording conversations. It’s no surprise that California is leading in this initiative, as a state that has been prioritizing consumer privacy. Thanks to Susan Dorfman, President, CMI, for this story.
A few new lawsuits are drawing attention to hospitals that enticed physicians with huge salaries and kickbacks that were allegedly illegal. The win for the hospital was that the doctor would be a big draw and make money for the hospital. In some cases, the hospital was doing poorly financially, highlighting even further the high offer to the doctor.
Today’s spotlight is on: Johanna Tompetrini, who has been named EVP, Group Client Director. Get to know a bit about Johanna today on Stories – we’ll be posting at 10 am. Make sure you’re following us on Instagram and Facebook!
ICYMI: You’ve probably heard the buzz about 5G coming – this has great potential for healthcare, and this new POV outlines 5 reasons why, from telemedicine to new ad formats and more.
Social update from Will Royal, Associate Analyst, Social Media: eMarketer reports that Faceboook and Snapchat’s time spent per day in platform has plateaued for the foreseeable future. This is no surprise to Facebook given the diminishing young adult audience as well as recent updates the platform has made to downrank clickbait posts to focus more on quality time spent. While Instagram has seen an increase in time spent (as well as the Facebook-elusive younger audience), Facebook still outperforms its sister platform in this area by 8 minutes. Time spent should not impact advertising budgets as users are still coming to the platforms and with Facebook focusing on quality vs. quantity, users may be more encouraged to return to the platform for a better user experience.
Teens are checking their phones in the middle of the night – and their parents do too. A new study showed that of those surveyed, 29% of teens and 12% of parents sleep with their mobile devices in their bed, 36% of teens and 26% of parents wake up to check their device at least once during the night, and 40% of teens and 26% of parents use their devices just before going to sleep.
Medical schools are realizing that training surgeons are less dexterous than generations before, and the reason may be related to their childhood hobbies. Woodworking and sewing, painting and music – they’re all becoming secondary to using screens.
Campaign of the day from Mark Pappas, VP, SEM & Emerging Media: Mercedes recently partnered up with Mattel to release a special Matchbox car of the Mercedes-Benz 220SE driven by female driver Ewy Rosqvist when she won the three-day Argentinian Grand Prix in 1962. Mercedes is looking to change cultural/gender expectations formed at early ages. In the video below young girls were asked to pick a toy from an assortment on a table in front of them – none of the girls initially picked the car because they said “it is a boy toy.” They were then shown the video of Ewy Rosqvist winning the Gran Prix. Watch the video and see their reactions.
It’s a soap opera-worthy court case that shows how social media has the power to impact our lives: after a French rock star’s death, his grown children successfully used his Instagram posts to prove they were worthy of an inheritance, versus the will which had given everything to his fourth wife.
The Trump administration is planning another move in an effort to force pricing transparency, with an end goal of lower prices and breaking up monopolies in payors and providers, with an executive order requiring all healthcare prices to be disclosed. Details are expected to be announced on Friday.
A recent programmatic OOH – you read that right, programmatic is hitting billboards – campaign featuring Kylie Jenner’s makeup line is showing how programmatic changes the game. A campaign that would have typically taken weeks or months to set up was able to hit in days, which as AdWeek points out, really works well for our on-demand world. OOH works for pharma too (if you’re hoping to keep up with the Kardashians) as George Tarnopolsky, our VP of Programmatic notes: “Digital out-of-home presents interesting branding opportunities for pharmaceutical brands, as well. DOOH ads can be purchased via programmatic buying, and placed in front of users in different contexts, for example: roadside billboards, transit shelters, airports, elevator and lobby screens, shopping centers, health clubs, and doctors’ office waiting rooms. Both banner and video opportunities are available, with time of day and geofencing (latitude & longitude) targeting options. For example, a consumer campaign for a dental product can be targeted to digital billboards specifically in dentist waiting rooms during business hours—driving patient awareness directly in the practitioner’s office.”
People are talking about: Gillette’s new ad featuring a young trans man being coached through his first shave by his father. This video from a Canadian talk show seems to encompass a lot of the sentiment, which has been overwhelmingly positive in support for the men featured, and also brings up how much brands should be involved in social issues.
An ice cream brand that features love themes in its ads decided to try to actually get two people to fall in love with its new ad campaign. Similar to a few reality shows out there, they chose (single teen) actors based on how compatible they might be, then put them in a few sweetly romantic scenarios and let hormones do their thing. (Although in reality shows the stars are usually aware and willing participants.) And it worked, for a little bit at least. So…is this sweet or creepy? Or a little of both?
Google is rolling out a feature it has been teasing for a while – live text translation. Point your phone at text in one language and before your eyes it will translate to another. Will be very interesting to see how it handles medical terminology.
Connected update from George Tarnopolsky, VP, Programmatic: LinkedIn has announced that it will purchase Drawbridge–a “device graph” company with technology built around identity resolution across screens and devices. While LinkedIn already has its own technology for identifying users across mobile apps and desktop browser, it has lacked a link to other identity spaces such as Connected TV. The Drawbridge acquisition should help LinkedIn connect users on its O&O properties to the rest of the web, creating more compelling ad products. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Apple is getting into the foldable screens game; they were awarded a patent this week.
CMI/Compas, media buying and planning for the nation’s top healthcare companies and part of WPP (NYSE:WPP), announces the creation of the EVP, Group Client Director role, which will be responsible for client satisfaction and client business leadership overall.

A major breakthrough in autism research was just published in Nature; scientists using machine learning to study the DNA of individuals with autism and their relatives who did not have autism have found that autism seems to be caused by a spontaneous rather than inherited gene mutation.
A new trend in prenatal care is gaining traction – and fans. Rather than the typical prenatal appointments, women are placed into a group of about 10 who are seen together, and appointments have a support group vibe. They still (privately of course) have health exams, but the appointment also includes education and discussion.
A doctored video is causing a major headache for social media companies, which are reacting in different ways. Because it’s not just about this video (of Nancy Pelosi, which was edited to make it appear that she is under the influence or ill) – it’s about the fact that since videos can now be so easily and convincingly altered, we’re entering a new age of fake news. Citing their own community standards, YouTube removed the video but Facebook did not. However, Facebook says they will be tweaking their algorithm so fewer people will see it.
The WHO now classifies “burnout” as a medical diagnosis. Video game addiction was also added.
A teen hoping to get attention – and a job – from Apple tried an unusual approach: hacking the company. Or, trying to – the company reports they identified and contained the hacks before reporting them to the police. The lesson here: think outside the box…but keep it legal.
Doctors in Russia are fighting for higher wages. Overall wages are declining in the country, but doctors are saying theirs are unlivable. In an example given in the article, a doctor treating a stab wound for 90 minutes was paid about $7.70 by the government-run hospital where he works.
