I know a few people who have received a cease and desist type letter for displaying pharma work. I’ve also worked at very large companies that tell you not do this. I would password protect. There are many reasons—works not out yet, it hasn’t been butchered by regulatory with 4,000 footnotes, etc. just do it to avoid the headache

I also know people who have gotten the Cease and Decist nasty grams. Also, your confidentiality agreement is probably violated if you don't pw protect. It's not worth the risk.

For your own protection, ALWAYS use a password for any pharma work. I’ve seen people get fired because their client found their work online. It can also get you into legal trouble I don’t think I’d bother looking at a pharma book that isn’t password protected. It just tells me the person is clueless.

I hear you. So as long as the works are already in public, it’s fine not to password protect them, correct? What about an idea never presented to a former client? The scenario is the client never ask us to do it, but we were passionated about the cause and came up the idea. Then our company dropped the client, we never got a chance to present it .

Just saw an ad for Kesimpta for MS and gotta say, one the most predicting fair balance lines I’ve ever heard. “While no cases of PML were reported in RMS clinical trials, it could happen.” Wow.

I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website.

Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
