PRWeek, Jonathan Owen, 11 September, 2024

Corporate reputation plays a significant part in which drugs doctors decide to prescribe to patients, according to a global study released by WE Communications, Reputation Rules: Unlocking Physician Prescribing Power.

As Stephanie Marchesi, president of WE Global Health explained, “As a natural extension of our Brands in Motion health report form the previous year… We now unequivocally know that reputation – be it at the disease-specific level or at the corporate level – is a bottom-line business driver.”

Building on WE’s 2023 report, the latest Brands in Motion study finds that corporate reputation is a critical driver for healthcare provider (HCP) prescribing behaviors when treatments have similar profiles.

Ultimately, a drugmaker’s reputation is a key differentiating factor among HCPs, even more so than relationships with pharma sales reps.

Physicians consider more than what a drug does when making prescribing decisions. They also look at who is behind the therapy. WE’s latest report found physicians are influenced by disease-specific leadership and corporate reputation when choosing which drug to use. These findings come from 540 physicians across six markets, drawing a link between corporate reputation and prescribing decisions.
