Project Lantus
Trigger
Where are we today• Diabetes is a silent killer• More than 40 million Indians have diabetes• Lack of awareness in people who have diabetes is 64%
(Source : PODIS study)• Recent studies show 15% of Mumbaites are potential
diabetics• Most patients are not conversant with the long term effects
of this condition• Doctors prescribing for diabetics choose diet & exercise as
first line of treatment & oral medication as the next.• Patients often not cooperative about lifestyle restrictions
associated with insulin• Low cost insulin options available in the market
Who are we talking to
• Doctors• Patients• The distribution channel e.g Chemists• Public• Government & regulatory authorities
What are we saying
• Maintain your quality of life with this new international, tried & tested drug
• Feel so much better than you ever have before
• Desired response :“ I cannot imagine life before Lantus”
Why should we be believed
• Aventis is a world leader in discovery, development & marketing of innovative pharma products
• Heritage of oral medication for diabetics • Inspires faith & confidence in Lantus because it
has been clinically proven in the Europe & US markets
• We're going to try & change the way the market perceives insulin
• We're going to try & change the expectation of the market from insulin
• Competition will be closely watching our every move
• We will need to hence – plan & move with speed
Lantus – The next revolution begins…… Lantus – The next revolution begins……
The Brand’s Primary Characteristics
• At the heart of the brand is a certain “Smartness”
• The fact it is new, has its own seduction
• Add to that the fact that its a lifestyle booster, the seduction is enhanced
• It is a fact that the current user base consider diabetes an impediment & the medication yet another barrier
• At this point we bring in a brand that promises to alter lifestyle
• The brand must cue - helpful and convenience.
• At the soul of Hotmail lies its sheer convenience
The Common Factors
• Marketing is increasingly about creating buzz
• When brands and habits become the buzz, brands spread through consumers like a potent virus
• A recent case of buzz marketing is SMS
• The Internet and e-mail were other ones
• Lantus stands a good chance by getting onto the buzz bus
• The game is about boosting life, bettering lifestyle
• Lantus must be made Fashionable
The Opportunity
• Lifestyles are changing. Leisure time’s compressed irrespective of age
• Add to that the convenience angle
• The opportunity therefore is not just to reinvent the wheel but to launch Lantus with all the buzz of its core brand values
• Got to get Lantus to be the shorthand of being convenient, lifestyle enhancer & that is being informed, being ahead, being in
Relevant trends currently affecting the category
• The opportunity is to create a lifestyle brand. Not just a medical product.
• From the users perspective , Lantus may well present an opportunity to recapture “life as it once was”
• Age is no longer a consideration.
• When the largest adopters of a new products , Internet, belong in the 25-44 age group, age takes a backseat
• Once again, SMS a buzz classic nods in that direction
Consumer-category relationship
• Right now, There isn’t any
• But unlike other medical products where criticality of the relationship is not a factor, we must tie in loyalty, stickiness & convenience into the brand
• Lantus must be “the thing” to do
• People like being part of the buzz. They adopt more vociferously when they are the buzz or part of it
• Lantus must become the buzz

Communication Objectives :
• If Lantus wants acceptance amongst target audience, it will have to – Position itself sharply and uniquely.

Communication Objectives :• Highlight the importance of quality of life• Sharpfocus on present lifestyle restrictions of
insulin therapy i.e before Lantus• Position Lantus sharply and uniquely as being

In summation….
• Need for building a distinct brand in a me-too category• Educate market about Lantus & benefits • Lantus to become the currency of speech• Generic to insulin usage• Get media to expose the brand values.• Get beyond the flesh and bones of product Lantus and build
an enduring bond with the users• Create brand associations that are uniquely Lantus and are
based on user insights/experiences• Equate expense with quality enhanced lifestyle
