Pharma Marketing Compliance: Automating complex Ad Verification
Pharma Marketing Compliance: Automating Complex Ad Verification
Advertising pharmaceuticals is one of the most difficult challenges in digital marketing. Between FDA regulations, EMA guidelines, and platform-specific restrictions, the margin for error is zero. In many cases, these ads also require verifying age-gated placements to ensure they aren't reaching prohibited audiences.
The biggest hurdle? The "Fair Balance" requirement—ensuring that side effects and disclosures are as prominent as the benefits.
The Problem: Long-Form Disclosures
Pharma ads often have long scrolls of "ISI" (Important Safety Information). Verifying that this content is visible, legible, and correctly placed relative to the creative is a technical nightmare for manual auditors.
Why Manual Verification Fails Pharma
- Truncation Risk: A manual screenshot might cut off the critical bottom half of a disclosure.
- Dynamic Injections: If a script fails to load the ISI, the ad is instantly non-compliant.
- Audit Trail Necessity: Legal teams need historical proof that the ad was compliant on every day it ran.
How AdShot Pro Built for Pharma
We developed our engine to handle the specific needs of regulated industries:
Full-Height Capturing
We don't just capture what's above the fold. AdShot Pro renders the entire page, ensuring the ISI and all legal disclosures are captured in a single, high-resolution document.
Precision Injection
If you're testing new creatives, our injection tool ensures the ISI and the creative are placed correctly, allowing your legal team to approve the "Live View" before the campaign even starts.
Immutable Logs
Every capture is stored with a cryptographic timestamp and exact URL metadata. If a regulator comes calling two years from now, you have the exact proof you need.
Scaling Compliance
Whether you're managing one drug or fifty, AdShot Pro's batch processing allows you to verify compliance across thousands of placements in minutes.
