Creating content within healthcare and life sciences is a uniquely demanding challenge. Unlike the fast-moving world of consumer marketing, teams here must navigate a strict landscape of rules and oversight. Every asset - whether it’s a landing page or a product video - faces scrutiny through Medical, Legal, and Regulatory (MLR) channels before it can see the light of day. This isn’t optional; it’s required to safeguard compliance, factual accuracy, and ultimately, patient well-being.

Our Marketing Operations Digital Worker is designed to tackle these challenges head-on. By automating compliance checks and pre-screening creative assets before they enter MLR review, it removes the most common sources of delay. The system validates claims and keeps everything aligned with the latest guidelines so teams can focus on creativity rather than administrative rework.

The Bottlenecks Every Team Knows Too Well

The journey from concept to market-ready asset is full of recurring challenges that slow down even the best-run operations. These bottlenecks are predictable and costly:

• Fragmented Briefs and Source Materials: Teams often work from scattered briefs, outdated claims documents, and a mountain of prior assets, making it difficult to identify a single source of truth.
• Inconsistent Claims and Citations: Manually tracking and referencing every promotional claim against the latest drug label (USPI/SmPC) or medical literature is tedious and error-prone, leading to inevitable MLR feedback and revisions.
• Channel-Specific Requirements: An asset destined for a social media ad has different size, character count, and fair balance requirements than a print ad or a sales aid. Managing these specs manually across dozens of assets multiplies the risk of mistakes.
• Fair Balance and Layout Issues: Ensuring fair balance information is presented correctly and that the layout meets brand and regulatory standards typically involves subjective, multiple reviews that can trigger repeated revision cycles.
• Cross-Market Variants: Adapting a campaign for different markets - each with distinct rules, languages, and approved claims - increases complexity and the risk of compliance errors.

The Digital Worker: The Solution for Faster, Smoother Review Cycles

Slow MLR cycles tie up talent and delay launches. Our Pharma Marketing Operations Digital Worker eliminates these pain points by embedding compliance into each workflow step. Acting as an intelligent campaign co-pilot, it collaborates with creative, medical, and project teams to pre-screen assets before formal review.

It checks drafts for accuracy, documentation, fair balance, and channel specs, ensuring alignment with regulatory and brand standards from the start. When it detects issues, it flags and corrects them immediately, producing cleaner, compliant content ready for review. As a result, teams experience fewer review cycles and faster time-to-market.

Because the Digital Worker operates continuously, it also manages updates and post-approval variants, keeping assets aligned as regulations evolve. Importantly, it never replaces human judgment - your experts retain final approval, while automation handles the heavy compliance work.

How the Digital Worker Streamlines Your Workflow

This campaign co-pilot integrates with your existing systems and executes a systematic, step-by-step quality check:

1. Intake and Grounding: When a new asset is drafted, the worker connects to Veeva Vault PromoMats and DAM systems like Adobe Experience Manager. It locks the version and validates it against labels, approved claims, and brand SOPs.
2. Automated Review: Like an expert compliance reviewer, the worker scans the asset - copy, charts, and layout. It detects promotional claims, validates them against a repository of studies, and flags gaps or inconsistencies. It also enforces channel-specific requirements (ad character counts, video durations) and verifies fair balance content and placement.
3. Rewrite Assistance: Instead of just flagging issues, the worker suggests compliant alternatives and assembles required text and citations. For revisions, it compares versions to highlight changes, making review faster and clearer.
4. Intelligent Routing: It assigns risk scores by channel and audience, streamlining workflow paths - low-risk assets move quickly, while high-risk ones get expert attention.
5. Audit-Ready Dossier: Once approved, the Digital Worker assembles an audit-ready evidence dossier which is saved directly into PromoMats and DAM for permanent, inspection-ready records.
6. Localization and Variants: For multi-market campaigns, the worker applies country-specific rule packs to generate and validate localized variants, avoiding the need to restart the review process. It continuously monitors for label or policy updates and can automatically re-screen affected live assets.

The Results Your Teams and Clients Can Expect

By bringing a Digital Worker into your delivery model, your organization can realize measurable, practical improvements:

• Faster Time to Approval: Review cycles compress from weeks to days when creative is already compliant and evidence-backed up front.
• More Assets per Reviewer: High-value reviewers can spend less time on repetitive checks and more on strategic decision-making, boosting overall team throughput.
• Fewer Late-Stage Defects: Early error detection eliminates last-minute fire drills and costly rework.
• Better Margins on Fixed Deliverables: Cutting rework and manual QA hours improves profitability, especially on fixed-scope projects.

Where This Fits in Your Workflow

The Digital Worker complements, rather than replaces, your existing process. It upgrades efficiency and quality at key steps:

• From Brief to Draft: Teams can gut-check claims and creative concepts right from the start.
• Pre-MLR QA: Before an asset enters formal review, the worker pre-screens for compliance to catch errors internally.
• During Client Review: As feedback is incorporated, the worker helps process revisions quickly while ensuring new changes don’t introduce new risks.
• Post-Approval: The worker enables rapid generation of derivatives and local variants from an approved core asset, retaining consistency and compliance throughout.

Secure Integration Within Your Software

The Digital Worker fits securely into your existing tech stack, honoring access controls and audit policies. Every action is logged for full traceability, and the system configures easily to match your SOPs. No complex migrations are needed—it connects directly to your current tools.
