For some time now, Google has been working with the FDA to come up with potential new ad formats for pharma marketers. It first met with the FDA group responsible for setting advertising standards and guidelines for the industry, the Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and Communications (DDMAC) in May 2009 to discuss the key issues and come up with some potential solutions. Google solicited informal feedback on potential new ad formats from DDMAC, but it was made clear that the FDA could not provide formal comments or approval on Google's mock-ups. Rather, DDMAC would require to see this ad format in context -- meaning used by an actual pharmaceutical product/brand.
Some Questions/Topics to be Discussed
- Tell us about Google's new ad formats? How did Google come up with these ideas? Was the FDA involved?
- Do you believe FDA will come up with new guidelines pertaining to search advertising and other limited space formats before the end of 2010? What do you envision this guidance to look like?
- What do you suggest pharma's search engine marketing strategy should be during this period in advance of new guidelines from the FDA?
You are invited to participate in the discussion via phone or via chat. There are enough phone lines for 50 people. An audio podcast archive of the ENTIRE interview will be available afterward.
