Strategic Research Institute Release: Pharmaceutical, Healthcare Marketing Opportunities Within Multicultural Markets

NEW YORK, March 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Strategic Research Institute presents the 7th Annual Multicultural Pharma-Biotech & Healthcare: Market Development & Outreach forum, scheduled for March 16-17 at the Sheraton Woodbridge Place in Iselin, New Jersey.

With a rapidly changing patient population, the task before marketers goes way beyond providing in-language materials to ensure adequate adherence or compliance. Compelling cultural insights about these patients, their perceptions about various diseases, and approach to medications require retooling of traditional DTC or DTP campaigns. Beyond English language DTC, opportunities exist for brands to boost value through strategic investments in cultural competency, health-literacy, customized adherence programs, disease education initiatives, and grassroots partnerships. Collaborations are vital with key influencer groups affecting the lives and health of African American, Hispanic, Asian Pacific American and other diverse population groups who already constitute over 40% of the population in nine major U.S. states. Learn how various disease categories are stepping up to the new demands from healthcare marketers at this conference.
