should be the framework
Involve your vendors
and agencies
and make them ‘partners’

8. What We’ve Heard…
Building a Center of Excellence for Customer Engagement 8
“Our MCM is Ad
Hoc, inconsistent
and reactive”
“We don’t have a
customer-centric culture
here and our group is
seen as executors”
“It’s very difficult to rely
on a true ROI without
an integrated process”
“There are a few
believers but to create a
CoE would be too
expensive and we don’t
have the resources”
“This group is perceived
as a digital team, not for
customer engagement
and our overall
marketing suffers”
9. Evaluating Challenges
Brand teams play an essential part in successful CoE implementation
with brand marketing incorporating CES in their brand plans and provide
MCM-ready content.
Lack of Innovation: CoE engagement have issues due to lack of understanding,
employing only known tools and past strategies in strategic planning.
Introduce Important CoE Processes into how Marketing Tactics and
Strategies are planned and executed.

Unilever announced plans to cut its global
roster of agencies in half from 3,000 to

During the first half of program, it dropped
agency spend by 17 percent.
29. WHAT STRATEGIC DECISIONS ARE NECESSARY
TO CAPTURE THE ELUSIVE ROI
• Determining the ‘Payoff’ of MCM and CE
• Structure of CoE will breed your philosophy throughout organization
• KPIs need to be based on Customer Engagement not click/open rates
• Function of matching digital activity to value is not a KPI or a reliable measure
• Transform the entrenched Process of ‘test and control’ in your organization
• Plan for Change and required milestones for organization
• Measurement of customer engagement depends on an accepted, centralized
and realistic process

Digital iPad question: What do you see as the main benefits of a successful CoE? (more customer centric organization, more innovation
-To overcome inertia, some companies go so far as to require brand teams to devote a certain minimum share of the marketing budget to digital channels. In addition, a mentoring program, in which MCM experts coach and tutor brand managers, can be a successful way to promote MCM capabilities within the brand teams.
- Also, many MCM initiatives have suffered delayed updates of content—such as material for an e-CME program or a website—as well as content that was not designed specifically for the channels in question; rather, it was a mere recycling of traditional field-force material.
This capability is concentrated on the central ownership of methodologies and the establishment of a credible authority to define, customize, and enforce standards. The CoE has to become the trusted source of digital and CEM expertise owning all related methods, tools, and techniques. This demands, among others, expertise in governance and resource management.
We found that currently, 74.41% of our participants do not have a digital centre of excellence and 13.95% are looking to launch one within 1 year. Only 13% didn't think a centre of excellent was relevant to their business, meaning a massive 60% of businesses wanted a Digital Centre of Excellence but hadn't yet created one….
Creating alignment, governance, and convergence of all CoE-related services within organization with the aim to increase synergies and consistency, ultimately leading to increased return on investment.
Content management audit can also be included in the mix as a sub-segment to Channel mix or by itself.

Ultimatum that they clean up practices
and play by the megabrand’s rules
Headline - Procter & Gamble chief brand officer Marc Pritchard, who holds the strings to the conglomerate’s $2.4 billion annual U.S. advertising purse, threatened to yank his company’s spend if they fail to address the growing mess of issues in digital advertising like fraud, brand safety and transparency
Waste - 20 to 30 percent of waste in the media supply chain because of lack of viewability, nontransparent contracts, nontransparent measurement of inputs, fraud
Fraud detection - In another move to open up ad transparency, P&G’s programmatic partner The Trade Desk partnered with bots-detection company White Ops last week to eliminate ad fraud—before buyers are charged—from inventory offered by supply-side platforms
The lack of convincing proof that MCM pays off has damaged the reputation of these efforts within companies. Thus, it is critical for companies to create robust methods for tracking return on investment, a move that will help them understand which approaches have hit at least a minimum level of success (so they can be rolled out more broadly) and which have not (so they can be corrected).
Measuring ROI involves tracking KPIs such as click rates, number of users for a website or app, call durations, and physician satisfaction levels. But most pharmaceutical-industry MCM pilots have been too small to allow for a reliable ROI measurement, too brief for adequate testing, or designed in a way not suitable for measurement. Key shortcomings in pilot design have included the lack of a clear definition of the baseline performance and the failure to establish a control group of physicians to show how a marketing program will perform in the absence of MCM.
MCM is no longer a “nice to have” capability. In the current challenging pharmaceutical industry, MCM’s potential to boost revenues and cut costs are compelling reasons to make the institutional changes necessary for this new means of connecting with physicians in the digital world.
Companies certainly have the data right now to deliver on MCM. Effective marketing approaches can make use of that wealth of data, allowing pharmaceutical companies to tailor their content and channel mix to maximum effect. What many companies lack, however, is a plan for change and the organizational patience required to transform entrenched processes, incentives, and ways of thinking. Both elements are required in a highly connected world where success in reaching physicians and patients depends on the relevance of content and the quality of the interaction. The question now is whether the industry will make the investments required to build an MCM approach that yields reliable execution and healthy returns.
