Masterclass – Digital Communications

Covid-19 has undoubtedly permanently transformed the landscape of our industry.  As we continue to work remotely the previous engagement channels have radically transformed.  Some questions are now coming very much to the fore:

• How do we now engage with HCPs? 
• What is best practice around virtual product launches, and
• Are there innovative ways of elevating your product or service above all the online noise? 
• How do you influence and deliver impactful presentations remotely? 

These are just some of the questions we’ll be addressing at our masterclass on Wed 9th December.
As with all events this year,  the masterclass will be held online and will run from 9am – 12pm.  As usual, there will be lots of interaction, practical examples and lots of scope for Q&A.
