For years, their voices went unheard. And their opinions were ignored. But not anymore.
 
 Thanks to the internet and social media, there is a growing and vocal group of Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) who are not necessarily academics or people who talk at conferences. Rather, they are bloggers, pundits and healthcare professionals whose voices and expertise—once largely behind the scenes—are now being amplified on the internet. While pharma has traditionally looked askance upon the free-form, interactive nature of social media as a marketing tool, companies who continue to ignore its power may be doing so at their peril. http://www.bharatbook.com/market-research-reports/healthcare-market-research-report/kol-relationship-development-leveraging-social-media-platforms.html
 
 Report Overview
 KOL Relationship Development: Leveraging Social Media Platforms is a compelling examination of the rise of social media as an informal, but increasingly important interactive marketing tool. Critically, it looks at social media-based KOLS who, although traditionally dismissed by the conservative pharmaceutical industry, are coming from behind the scenes to be heard. The report, based on six in-depth expert interviews and additional research, examines the trends, options and issues surrounding social media KOLs, how to identify them and how best to capture their voices. Engagingly written and current, the report addresses how the industry can best adapt marketing strategies to the digital age—and how to track their success. Market Research Reports
