Macromill launches medical research partnership

The pharmaceutical market has a renewed interest in gathering market insights as a component of their drug and therapy merchandizing plans. With regulatory changes, and the rise of the generic market, pharmaceutical manufacturers are placing greater emphasis on the go-to-market stage of new products to optimize their chances of delivering the next blockbuster. The complexity of the marketing research has grown alongside the complexity of regulatory requirements.

In this environment, Macromill and CareNet will jointly offer market research services tailored for the medical market. Macromill-CareNet will fuse the deep research expertise of Macromill with the highly curated physician panel from CareNet to deliver the complex studies pharma companies require to grow their business.

States Global CEO Han de Groot: “We are significantly expanding our internet based doctor and patient panels for our pharmaceutical clients in Japan. We will work closely with our global pharmaceutical clients to determine the footprint of our medical insights services beyond Japan.”
