Social Media — LinkedIn for HCP, Meta for Patient Awareness
Outcome:
- Compliant reach that converts—without MLR drama. I run LinkedIn for professional HCP engagement and Meta (Facebook /Instagram) for patient awareness, among other platforms across global reach—pairing claim-safe creative, bulletproof pre-flight, and measurement that your execs trust.
Who this helps
- (at a glance)
- Brand & Commercial Leads — channel clarity, faster launches, weekly “scale/pause” guidance.
- Medical/MLR & Compliance — fair-balance patterns, redline-ready packets, PV/AE triage.
- Regional Teams — localization kits, cadence tables, and approved asset libraries.
- Analytics/Finance — governed UTMs/events, KPI layer, platform↔BI variance within ±2%.
- Creative/Production — social-first templates, cut-downs (6/15/30s), captioning, and ISI overlays.

My approach
- (LinkedIn HCP • Meta Patient)
- LinkedIn (HCP). Professional targeting (titles, specialties, seniority, groups, company attributes). Unbranded education and peer-led content on-platform; branded routed to HCP-auth portals. Formats: Document Ads (guides/CME), Thought-Leader Ads, Video + Lead Gen (with medical disclaimers). Cadence tuned to specialty density; frequency caps to avoid fatigue.
- Meta (Patient). Awareness/education with no personal-attribute claims; 18+ gating, age-appropriate creative, fair-balance/disclaimers where needed. Formats: Reels/Stories/Feed video, carousel explainers, click-to-site with claim-safe LPs. Comment moderation on, risky terms filtered, PV/AE capture routed to safety within 24h.
- Sequencing. Education → proof/utility → action (find care/tools/eligibility) with suppression windows, retargeting rules, and cross-channel overlap control.
- Measurement. Qualified events (read depth, tool use, HCP auth hits), attention/video completion, cost per qualified visit, outcomes cohorts where permitted; platform ↔ BI recon within ±2%.
