OUTCOME

A global pharma leader running multi-market, multi-brand HCP campaigns

Fragmented data and manual journey planning across markets

An AI-powered Omnichannel Decisioning Engine (ODE)

Unified data, smarter recommendations, scalable architecture

 

The Challenge

Our client — a global pharmaceutical leader — runs complex marketing programs targeting healthcare professionals (HCPs) across multiple brands and markets. Campaigns span mass email, 1:1 email, and face-to-face engagement, with channel mix varying by market data readiness.

While execution platforms were strong, campaign planning depended heavily on manual judgment, individual experience, and data scattered across systems. Marketers struggled to:

  • Identify the right audience and engage them through the optimal channel, content, and cadence
  • Bring together HCP, engagement, promotion, and content data spread across multiple systems and markets
  • Design optimal user journeys with the right number of touchpoints, sequencing, and timing

The need: a unified, data-driven decisioning layer capable of recommending optimal campaign configurations based on defined business outcomes — and integrating seamlessly with the existing marketing ecosystem.

 

Our Solution

Navikenz designed and built the Omnichannel Decisioning Engine (ODE) — an intelligent recommendation layer that helps marketers plan campaigns with greater confidence, consistency, and efficiency. The solution centers on three pillars:

01

Unified View of Data

A consolidated layer of HCP engagement and content usage, replacing scattered, channel-specific data with a single trusted source for campaign planning.

02

Smarter Campaign Planning

Outcome-based recommendations at the cohort level — guiding touchpoint volume, sequencing, and message selection so marketers rely less on manual judgment.

03

Seamless Integration

Native integration with the client's Marketing Analytics tooling, embedding recommendations directly into existing workflows — no operational overhead.

 

The Impact

  • A unified, reliable HCP data layer powering advanced analytics and personalization
  • Improved consistency and quality in campaign design through outcome-based recommendations
  • Reduced manual effort in journey planning and content selection
  • A scalable architecture ready to expand into multi-channel, multi-brand markets and individual-level personalization

 

Approach & Technology

The Navikenz team combined Voice of Customer inputs and best-in-class omnichannel decisioning standards with the client's existing Marketing ecosystem. We delivered the MVP using an Agile methodology, with cohort-based optimization and outcome-driven decisioning frameworks at the core.
