Targeting Interactive Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Video Advertising to Patients and Providers with Lauren Ohlsson VDX.tv

Lauren Ohlsson is the lead of industry solutions for pharmaceutical and healthcare at VDX.tv, which partners with pharmaceutical marketing teams, healthcare advertisers, and media agencies to create video content that drives engagement with patients and healthcare personnel. They create custom interactive video ad units seen across Connected TVs, desktop computers, and mobile devices and targeted to the desired patients or providers. Using QR codes on CTV and OTT ads allows viewers to scan the code to get additional information quickly. Lauren explains, "One of the specific propositions we add is that we focus on CTV and then extend that reach to the household after that. It's a unique way to start these conversations around the household because often there are caretakers, family members, and a lot of people involved in medical decisions, so that's one of the facets of what VDX.tv can do." "We can do everything by targeting medical professionals by their NPI numbers. So if there's a specific chart list of doctors or medical professionals to reach, we can help do that. And then, we can target by conditions, so whether or not somebody has the probability of potentially having a medical condition, we can also reach them."   "The environment is unique because we can target potential and prospective patients and healthcare providers via CTV. And then, to have the conversation with the household, we're able to follow up on desktops. So if you're engaging in health content, we'll take health.com, for example, you can see our ads, our video ads, in that environment as well, and then the same on a mobile device."  "We know in pharma, the marketing teams are very focused on an omnichannel approach. We have an advantage in that we can reach people on their TVs, and then also on their mobile and desktop devices to make sure that we're distributing appropriate content to the right audiences." #VDXtv #DTCAds #HCPAds #HealthCarePersonnelAds #CTV #OTT #PharmaceuticalAds #HealthcareAds #MobileAds #PatientEngagement VDX.tv  Download the transcript here
