Supply chain, easy call

I have not worked in any of those industries.. but pharma seems to be tripping over money even in the worst of times. I’d go there

I would call supply chain.

Thx for the responses so far guys/gals. Glad I raised this qst, as I was under the impression that Brand Management lead to more opportunities and more exposure to leadership, and that big Pharma spent more money on marketing than anything else including R&D, so surprised by the Supply Chain answers. Has Supply Chain become more critical to Pharma’s Strategy due to the Pandemic?

What is your definition of M&A "Brand Management" in biopharma

My understanding is that from the perspective of an acquirer, the role would define the value proposition of prospective drug brands in a target company. Once the target company has been acquired, successfully integrating the drug brands into the acquirer’s brand architecture (I.e., Master-Sub brand relationship, co-branded relationship, etc.) and overseeing consistent brand messaging through the process.

I could use some suggestions or thoughts on online programs and certifications for social media management.

I am 1/2 of my company’s marketing team and have really taken lead of our social media. I feel I could use some more formal training on the social platforms and guidance on how to really leverage the analytics. I am looking for some ideas on courses or certificates to both learn more about social media management and to position myself as the social media expert at my company.

TIA!
