Client Situation

A large biopharma customer wanted to optimize their digital channel strategy and outreach to most effectively engage with HCPs

Trinity’s Role

  • Trinity developed an AI solution that predicts the next best digital channel, content and cadence to engage with individual HCPs
  • Although originally created for one brand, the technology and AI model was crafted so that it could be scaled and easily configured to add different criteria and datasets
  • After success with the initial brand, Trinity expanded the solution to direct efforts for 5 brands and 4 additional channels, integrating with multiple activation vendors
    and agencies
