ROVI International CRM Manager Andriu Urbina says, \u201cWe need to deliver an event solution that is almost done, almost prepared, but with enough flexibility to get the affiliate on board.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTo meet this challenge, 80% of ROVI\u2019s core events model is unified for affiliates, which leaves sufficient space for country-specific configuration and analysis. This harmonized approach allows the company to deliver events quickly and optimize the use of limited resources. \u201cWith ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ CRM Events Management, we have a single solution to plan and deliver events while allowing us to analyze event insights and test hypotheses,\u201d Urbina continues.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTracking events data provides valuable insight into HCPs\u2019 expectations and preferences. After following up on a few events with questionnaires, the team at ROVI plans to capture audience sentiment consistently and include qualitative measurements in its roadmap. \u201cSuccess for us is when a doctor wants to see the rep again and attend our annual events the following year,\u201d says Urbina.\n<\/p>\n<h3>Lundbeck: Centralized events management fueling the omnichannel transformation<\/h3>\n<p>\nLundbeck, a global biopharma company headquartered in Copenhagen specializing in brain diseases, began its digital transformation in 2020.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe company co-creates its events strategy with markets and seeks to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veeva.com\/eu\/customer-stories\/lundbeck-the-omnichannel-ambition-and-the-road-to-get-there\/\">scale its omnichannel reach<\/a>. To transition toward a centralized approach, Lundbeck selected ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ CRM Events Management.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nMichael Foster, global senior CRM manager at Lundbeck, explains: \u201cWe wanted to roll out a common solution that could be tweaked to meet various countries&#8217; needs. Now we are delivering an events strategy that is easy to manage, understand, and centralize.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLundbeck has rolled out its plan in several markets to date. To inform its next steps, Lundbeck is currently testing a robust data analytics program, experimenting with different approaches to determine what yields the most valuable insights.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLundbeck is also gradually implementing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veeva.com\/eu\/products\/crm-suite\/events-management\/\">³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ Vault CRM Events Management<\/a> to enhance its virtual and hybrid events capabilities. The company plans to use the insights gained to fuel its omnichannel transformation. They build this transformation on top of customer understanding by looking at data and integrating channels and functions. The ultimate goal is to serve the customer in a personalized way, producing best-in-class customer experiences.\n<\/p>\n<h3>GSK: Scaling HCP events across 50+ markets<\/h3>\n<p>\nOver the past four years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veeva.com\/eu\/resources\/gsk-enhances-global-events-strategy-and-visibility-with-veeva-crm-events-management\/\">GSK<\/a> has doubled down on high-value events management, setting goals to bring more continuity and relevance at all HCP touchpoints. Insights gathered during other activities enable the events team to personalize HCP engagement.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDave Yates, GSK\u2019s Director of Global Product Management, says: \u201cBecause of the duration of events and how much interactivity we can get at events, they are great opportunities to learn from and inform the next interaction.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBefore implementing ³Ô¹Ï±¬ÁÏ CRM Events Management, GSK markets used a variety of legacy systems. Standardizing the events approach across all 68 markets helped bring clarity and consistency to event delivery. It also enabled the company to measure metrics such as spend, attendance, number of events, and use of speakers.<\/p>\n<p><p>\nBringing all markets onto the same platform means collecting and analyzing qualitative and quantitative event data is now possible. For instance, GSK now distributes a simple two-question survey to event attendees via QR code:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Would you recommend this event to a colleague?<\/li>\n<li>How likely are you to change your clinical practice based on what you&#8217;ve heard now?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThis event sentiment analysis informs tailored post-event activities with attendees. \u201cFor the first time, we can see at an event level \u2014 and sometimes down to an individual level \u2014 how people feel about our events,\u201d said Yates. \u201cThat helps us drive next-best actions and prioritize and follow up with customers.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nBy bringing together CRM and events data, pharma sales and marketing teams gain an enhanced understanding of HCP behavior. That understanding helps them design and deliver events that bring HCPs together to connect with their peers and learn about promising new therapies.\n<\/p>\n<p.\n\u201cWe want our customers to walk away feeling like because of what they've heard that day, they're going to do something different,\u201d said Yates. \u201cThat creates the commercial opportunity to follow up and position a portfolio of medicines to a dynamic, motivated customer.\u201d \n<\/p>\n<p>Event technology directly impacts the execution of every event a biopharma company runs.
