Brand X shows off its softer side
Warm and fuzzy isn’t the typical reaction doctors or patients have when they are diagnosed with this condition. But this company took a different approach to patient education, that included tales of the condition from an inner perspective—specifically the pancreas, stomach, kidney and a muscle. Sales have been great, the plush toys and animated narratives inviting, but the company is probably feeling a bit blue as it watched the medication slide down the patent cliff just as we went to press.
