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.
