Services include: advertising/promotion, brand development — from brand audit workshops to positioning/personality workshops, competitive claim assessments, prelaunch and launch message development, market research methodology recommendations to a full-service studio with interactive capabilities and more. Flashpoint has also pioneered a range of proprietary marketing approaches, which include Doctor/Patient Encounter (DPE ) programs, by which patients are motivated to initiate a productive dialogue with their doctor. A related approach, the Rep Sales Effectiveness program, helps increase the value of the sales rep to the doctor.
