In early summer of 2021, we received a request from Nearmedic Plus, which produces Kagocel, a drug that treats or prevents flu, as well as other acute respiratory viral infections.

According to the 2021 data, the Kagocel pharmaceutical brand was among the top five drug market leaders, however the brand’s social media identity needed support. This became the main goal in the brand’s promotion. This project was launched in association with the Media Instinct agency.

2
To increase the user engagement rate on the brand’s social media pages.

Solutions
When promoting a pharmaceutical brand on social media, we had to adhere to online platform requirements in relation to advertising medical products.
In particular, each medical fact that was used in the product promotion had to be accompanied by links to clinical studies by authoritative resources.
Work specifics
First of all, we had to develop an updated visual style, considering:

• all legal restrictions related to promoting pharmaceutical brands on social media;
• visual and communication restrictions that emerged in the work process.

In addition to that, as part of our promotion strategy, it was essential to do a social media follower cleansing.
Visual content
Focusing on current trends in social media, we chose a concept of combining "live content" and 3D graphics. With its help, we were able to increase the visual appeal of the feed, as well as adapt it to the main requirements of the target audience, considering the main SMM trends.
Follower cleansing
With the help of an automatic and manual follower cleansing on “Cagocel’s” social media pages, we removed 19,580 irrelevant subscribers who had a negative impact on the activity indicators of the brand’s digital platforms.
Results

As a result, on “OK.ru”, the audience share that saw the displayed content was increased significantly due to the follower cleansing. If in June our content was displayed only to 1.1% of users, then in July this percentage rate increased to 16%.

Purge of an irrelevant audience had a positive impact on activity indicators.
