Steven interviewed me for this story and quotes me in this passage: "The companies realize their traditional websites and advertising strategies are no longer sufficient tools to promote products in a competitive marketplace in which doctors, pharmacists and consumers aggressively trade information about medicine on blogs. The companies are also aware that 'if they can't fully participate in the social-media conversation, they get marginalized,' says John Mack, publisher of Pharma Marketing Blog, which attracts about 25,0...

On Wednesday morning I listened in to Kerri & Amy do a great presentation called "Finding Your Online Voice".  I loved it.  I thought Kerri & Amy were perfect hosts and leaders, and that the information was well received.  There were lots of questions, ranging from "how do I do it?" to "what about privacy concerns?" I hope that a few people found the inspiration to start sharing their stories.  After the session, I jumped on Kerri's coattails to go meet Charlie ...

For Brian Harris, the moment for him was a sudden heart attack at the age of 33.

(start here and work your way back to catch up on the story).Seems like no matter how "mean" I am, pharma people still come up to me at meetings to say hello and invite me to wine and dine with them. They even invite me into the tent to talk to their marketing people! Imagine that!Today, I was invited to breakfast by Ambre Morley (@ambremorley), Associate Director of Product Communications at Novo Nordisk to meet Charlie Kimball -- the racecar driver and person with diabetes (PWD) who is sponsored by Novo Nordisk's Levemir insulin brand team.Charlie was visiting Novo just a hop, skip, and a jump from where I live and work (Newtown, PA).

This has to be what my friend was referring to. It's just an assumption, mind you, but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...Kerri was obviously concerned about the "backlash towards Charlie" and cited my post "Novo Nordisk's Branded (Levemir) Tweet is Sleazy Twitter Spam!.""I do not like to see Charlie, the guy, under such attack...

In that post, I noted that the latter account is a distorted mirror of the former. In fact, it appears that Novo Nordisk is rewriting a select number of Tweets from @charliekimball to create the Race With Insulin account (see "Novo Nordisk Selectively Copies & Edits Kimball's Tweets").It's no surprise that Novo Nordisk would edit Charlie's Tweets. After all, Novo is a regulated drug company and is responsible for the post made on its Twitter account.But is Novo sucking the life out of Charlie's Tweets? A few of Charlie's more p...

I've written about the Race with Insulin Twitter account, which supposedly features tweets made by Charlie, in previous posts to this blog (see "Novo Nordisk's Branded (Levemir) Tweet is Sleazy Twitter Spam!" and "Pharma Marketers Should Stop Blaming the FDA for Their Dysfunctional Social Media Marketing Efforts").In response to a post I made about a branded Levemir tweet made by Charlie via his Race with Insulin account, I received this email message from a personal friend of Charlie's: "I happen to know Charlie ... I think he is a good guy and hate to see him hurt by this incident. I wonder if someone at Novo is adding in the marketing messages ... Charlie made a mistake by letti...
