Health advertising has more than one audience, and each one comes with its own rulebook. Prescribers and the specialists who refer to them. Patients and the people who care for them. For a manufacturer or an association with a policy agenda, the members and staff who write the rules. Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Biogen, Natera, the American Diabetes Association, and PhRMA are among the health clients on this site.

Medical, legal, and regulatory review sets the calendar. Copy is written for MLR from the first draft, with the claims, the fair balance, and each platform's health policy in view, so a launch does not wait on a headline's third trip through review. The plan accounts for what each platform allows a health advertiser to do, from certification before prescription drug ads run to the limits on targeting by condition.

Since 2022, a tracking pixel on a page that touches patient information has been a compliance decision. Measurement here starts from signal that never touches protected health information. That means consent-gated tags kept off pages that touch patient information, calls tracked through vendors that sign a business associate agreement, modeled conversions, and holdout tests that need no personal data at all. Health systems that pulled their pixels found their marketing still worked, and a holdout shows which part of it.

Physicians and patients both put health questions to AI assistants now. I was building GEO test protocols for a biotech client's physician and patient queries before the discipline had a name, and the same protocol now runs across ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and Perplexity: what each one says about a product or a condition, which sources it cites, and what would change the answer. That work runs through the SEO + GEO practice.

An engagement usually begins with an audit of where the current spend lands, by audience and by rule. It shows which impressions reached prescribers, which reached patients, which reached neither, and which tags collect data they should not.

Quick answers

Platform policy

Can you run prescription drug advertising on Google and Meta?

Yes, within each platform's policy. Both restrict prescription drug advertising by country, require the advertiser to be authorized or certified before those ads run, and limit targeting by health condition. The plan is built around those rules from the first brief, and creative clears your medical, legal, and regulatory review before anything launches.

Measurement

How do you measure health campaigns without pixels on patient pages?

With signal that does not touch protected health information. Tags fire only with consent and never on pages that touch patient information, calls are tracked through vendors that sign a business associate agreement, conversions are modeled where the platforms support it, and holdout tests compare exposed and unexposed regions with no personal data at all.

Associations

Do you work with health associations and advocacy groups as well as manufacturers?

Yes. The American Diabetes Association and PhRMA are among the health clients on this site. When the audience is policymakers and their staff, the plan runs through the Public Affairs + Advocacy Advertising practice.
