AI Marketing Playbook for Drug Companies

Darshan Kulkarni

AI is no longer a distant concept in pharma marketing—it’s here, transforming campaign design, review, and distribution. CEOs and CMOs face a critical question: Can I safely integrate AI into my marketing toolkit?

AI offers speed, cost savings, precise targeting, and scalable personalization. Yet, it introduces significant risks, including data ownership, opaque algorithms, hallucinated content, and potential FDA violations. Accountability for AI-generated content remains a key concern—vendors, marketing teams, or executives may all be at risk.

Some companies are proactive: implementing bias audits, ethical guardrails, contractual protections, and validation processes. Others, lacking governance, risk regulatory scrutiny. While AI can streamline PRC review, maintain brand consistency, and flag compliance risks, leaders cannot rely on technology to “figure it out later.”

The smart strategy: treat AI as a high-value, high-risk partner. Establish clear policies, define IP and ownership rights, ensure transparency, and embed accountability throughout marketing. Success in life sciences promotion will go to those who embrace AI strategically and responsibly, not those who avoid it.

The Kulkarni Law Firm helps life sciences companies build AI-ready, regulator-friendly marketing strategies that stay ahead of the competition.
