KOL Development & Management

Identifying and developing lasting relationships with your KOLs builds an invaluable network of advocates to facilitate your communications plan. It also provides feedback on your messaging, tactics, and product positioning.
The role of KOLs evolves throughout the drug-development cycle:
Pre-clinical phase: help to identify therapeutic opportunities
Early-phase clinical testing: provide input into trial design and perceptions on safety and efficacy data
Phase III: investigate market acceptance (eg, fulfilling an unmet need, concern about contraindications)

At Medica, we understand how critical KOL and advocacy development are to commercializing a product. We work closely with you to help:
Identify important KOLs
Build new and strengthen existing KOL relationships
Develop true KOL advocacy and support for your products - beyond the traditional willingness to participate in programs, ad boards, etc.

Knowing your KOLs at the local, regional, national and international levels and recognizing their strengths and degree of influence are vital to the success of your program. At Medica, we help to align your strategy based on certain KOL drivers, and craft a strategic development plan based on your advocacy group initiatives.
Our goal is to target appropriate KOLs and build strong, lasting relationships with them for our clients. Comprehensive and frequent feedback from these KOLs is critical to your success in developing your products as the top-line choice product.

Testimonials

"I have used Medica for a number of Scientific Ad Boards over the past few years and have been extremely pleased. The staff has wonderful attention to detail, is always looking to maximize value, works seamlessly with our internal team and KOLs and personally handles all of our healthcare compliance requirements."

- Vice President, Medical Affairs & Clinical Research - Johnson & Johnson

"Medica has strong compliance awareness."

- Healthcare Compliance Officer - Johnson & Johnson

"I worked with Medica for a national thought leader advisory board in April 2009. Overall, I give them my highest recommendation as one of the best vendors I have worked with during my seven years in the pharmaceutical industry. Both my management as well as the external thought leaders spoke very highly of the Medica team. I would definitely work with them again because of their commitment to excellence that I have generally not seen in many vendors I have worked with."

- Senior Global Medical Director - Teva

"Over the past 6 years Medica has provided outstanding services to us including meeting strategy, development & logistics as well as management of KOLs, technical writing and regulatory compliance. They deliver high-quality products on-time every time and have saved us thousands of dollars with highly effective negotiating skills. Medica is a trusted partner who treats our business as if it were their own."

- Director of Research Administration - Rocky Mountain Poison and Drug Center

"I worked with Medica Communications on 2 external advisory boards and quickly learned that there was no need to worry about any of the logistics. I was confident that the meetings would run smoothly as the Medica team is extremely well-organized, with great attention to detail, and developed excellent rapports with the external advisors. I would highly recommend Medica for similar jobs, and I would definitely hire them again if the need arose."

- Therapeutic Area Safety Head, Immunology - Janssen

"The Medica team's in-depth knowledge of the industry and impressive skill sets ensure the success of any project they undertake. In all aspects of business development, KOL management, and content development, they set (and achieve) the highest standards for all projects. Medica excels at developing and maintaining strong KOL relationships and in developing advisory boards that support preparation for FDA advisory committee meetings. I would recommend the Medica team to anyone who needs experienced professionals, high-quality service and content, and targeted deliverables."
