What brand thinking means in pharma
Brand thinking is looking at a product through the market's eyes: who the customers are, what they need, what alternatives they have, and why they would choose this brand. It is not limited to the marketing team. Brand and product managers apply it daily, and reps, medical teams, sales managers and new marketers all work better when they think this way.
