Pharmageddon 2012 – the end of an era for pharmaceutical marketing?
Have you heard of Pharmageddon 2012? If you follow the pharmaceutical industry on social media at all, it’s almost impossible not to. It’s on YouTube, Facebook, Flickr. It has it’s own blog on the Wordpress site, it’s listed on Technocrati, there’s an RSS feed and they’re also on Twitter.
Can we talk about an over-saturation of social media here? Maybe… but it’s certainly an interesting way of promoting the use of those new communications channels readily available to everyone.

[Man speaking on camera]
Redecorating was ruining our lives. Seasonal themes. My wife’s intuitive color palettes… Feng shui…
So I tried Viagra, and my redecorating practically disappeared.

Pink Ribbon Magazine TV commercial
Pink Ribbon Magazine TV commercial
[Voice-over]
Our story begins when our friends are quite small. But they grow up together in no time at all.
They travel through life, having fun side-by-side, enjoying themselves, with nothing to hide.
They share everything. No “ifs” “buts” or “maybes”.
Holidays, lovers and eventually babies. They’re so happy together everyday, we’ like to keep it exactly that way.
