Is a part of your Pharma marketing team young and inexperienced? Here’s how to hit the ground running.
Pharma brand management isn’t easy, especially when you’re fresh out of business school or transitioning from a different role. Many young marketers dive in without a solid grasp of the real-world challenges they’ll face. They’re expected to manage many standalone tasks assigned by managers, coordinate with cross-functional teams, and communicate with key stakeholders for operational work —without dedicated time from managers for a structured guidance.
That’s where The Brand Game (TBG) comes in. TBG is a hands-on program designed to equip young Pharma marketers with the skills they need to thrive. Think of it as a finishing school that bridges the gap between theory and practice. In just six months, your new talent can become confident, skilled brand managers who can drive results.
Why New Pharma Marketers Need TBG
Young pharma marketers often enter the field with limited practical experience. Many have an MBA, but pharma brand management requires more than just academic knowledge. You need to understand the nuances of the industry—how to manage data analytics and a product’s lifecycle, navigate the regulatory landscape, and communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders.
Without the right training, these young professionals risk becoming overwhelmed. They may struggle to balance the demands of managing a brand and coordinating between teams like sales, training, medical, and regulatory affairs to name a few. Without a structured learning path, mistakes are likely—and those mistakes can be costly.
Example: A young brand manager might launch a campaign without fully understanding market dynamics & competitive intelligence. If they don’t have the skills to interpret data or communicate effectively with the sales team, the brand’s performance could suffer.
That’s why TBG is critical. It takes raw talent and turns it into polished expertise by focusing on the practical skills needed for success in pharma marketing.

TBG is ideally a 6 month program specifically designed to help young marketers hit the ground running. It’s not just theory—it’s a hands-on, immersive experience where participants learn by doing. The program includes a series of modules, group work, and on-the-job assignments that allow young marketers to apply what they learn immediately.
Here’s what the TBG program covers:

Example: One of the TBG modules could focus on brand positioning. Participants might develop a mock marketing plan for a new drug, considering real-world constraints like competition, internal brand prioritisation, and physician preferences. Then, they’ll present their strategy to senior marketers for feedback, refining their approach with each iteration.
