Background
According to the About section of CNTO411, the new Centocor Blog, it was started "because there are so many interesting things happening at our company, in our industry, and around immunology. Although you can read about these things in the news or on other blogs, we want to join the conversation because we have much to say on the matter."

"On this blog there will be discussion about Centocor - what we are doing, how we are doing it, and why. There will be comments on the news about our company and the industry - we may need to correct mistakes or put news into context. We will try to talk about these things as they relate to Centocor business. But bear in mind, the comments will be based on ... authors' personal opinions and points of view, not necessarily that of the entire company."

Social Media Pharma Marketing Cover Special Supplement
Social Media Pharma Marketing

Is it time for the pharmaceutical industry to take the advice of some of its critics and use the new "social media" tools available to it and extricate itself from its moribund situation of declining ROI?

These new tools -- lumped under the heading "social networking" or "Web 2.0 -- are big topics of discussion at many pharmaceutical marketing conferences. The question is, will pharma marketers embrace them, learn how to use them, and will they see benefits?

This collection of Pharma Marketing News articles, blog posts, and survey results provides you with an excellent introduction to the many issues involved in social media pharma marketing.
