Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide Looks to the Future

The World's Largest Healthcare Communications Network Releases Survey Findings, Unveiling Predictions for Healthcare Marketing in 2011

PARSIPPANY, New Jersey, January 10, 2011 - As Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide, the largest healthcare communications
network, formally opens its doors for business, the company has released the
results of a global survey of pharmaceutical executives identifying
predictions for healthcare marketing communications in 2011. As might be
expected, the survey revealed a continued shift toward digital
communications, with 74% of respondents anticipating an increased spend on
digital activities in the coming year. Other key survey findings include the
changing role of the patient and a trend toward more customer segmentation.
The survey, which interviewed pharmaceutical executives from 57 countries,
all with responsibilities for marketing or communications, was conducted by
FirstWord Pharma.

"As the world's largest and most extensive healthcare communications
network, we are committed to anticipating changes within the healthcare
industry, and enabling our clients to successfully navigate through a rapidly
evolving healthcare environment," said Matt Giegerich, Chairman and CEO of
Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide. "While the survey revealed what we expected it
would about the growing role of digital technologies in healthcare, it is
crucial to remember that technology in itself is not a panacea; it needs to
be adopted and incorporated into our everyday behavior."

Anticipating the role digital communications will continue to have on
healthcare communications, Ogilvy CommonHealth Worldwide has published 202020
VISION, a digital-health report outlining 20 scenarios of what digitally
driven healthcare might look like in 2020.

"In our view, technology, particularly that which has driven social
media, already has had a profound impact on the psychosocial context of
health and healthcare," said David Davenport-Firth, global brand strategy
director and author of 202020 VISION. "And this will continue at an
accelerating pace up to and beyond 2020."
