9. YouTube understands the needs of pharma
YouTube employs account reps who are assigned to pharma brands. These
reps are very knowledgeable about our regulatory needs and are advocating
internally with Google for YouTube to accommodate the challenges that we
face in our industry.
With 25% of YouTube’s
traffic coming from mobile
devices and another 25%
coming from TVs, YouTube
has decided to update the
template used for their site.
This update will allow
greater visibility to our
brand’s ISI and PI.
