Influencers are NOT KOLs. We discuss using key opinion leaders (KOLs) and influencers in pharmaceutical and medical device marketing. Key Takeaways: - Influencers vs. KOLs: Influencers have large social media followings and can engage younger demographics, while KOLs are respected experts whose endorsements are based on scientific evidence. - Benefits and Risks: Influencers can create relatable content but risk non-compliance, while KOLs offer credibility but may deliver more conservative messages. Best Practices: - Align with influencers and KOLs who match your target audience. - Ensure understanding of regulatory requirements. - Conduct thorough vetting and provide training. - Establish clear contracts and monitor content for compliance.
