Introduction

CSL Behring, a biotech firm, uses ON24 as part of executing on their vision of a multi-channel, seamless, orchestrated customer experience. While they had been engaging their audiences of healthcare providers (HCPs) they hadn’t been able to properly scale their programs for a global experience, and any digital engagement data they were able to collect was lost because the various platforms they were using to host events didn’t integrate with their CRM. 

After deciding to switch to ON24 they have now been able to create highly engaging events at scale that can be viewed live or on-demand with a strong suite of engagement tools and to capture attendee behavior. All of the data and insights from those digital engagement programs are now sent directly to their Veeva CRM. Not only has this supported an improvement of customer understanding of their customers it has supercharged their content strategy with insights they’ve never had before.

Problem

Before CSL Behring started using ON24, their teams were using various collaboration tools like Zoom and Teams for their virtual events targeting healthcare professionals (HCPs). Not having one consistent platform, especially ones that didn’t integrate with their Veeva CRM, meant they were unable to collect data. Additionally, the other platforms offered very few opportunities for engagement, not to mention that creating events manually across different platforms is costly. 

Stuart Davis, Director of Customer Engagement for Marketing, envisioned creating an orchestrated customer experience which involved providing customers content on channels they prefer. But to optimize this plan, they needed a single platform that not only had ample tools to engage HCPs but also seamlessly integrated with their CRM so that data and insights are quickly passed on to the sales team.

Solution

After looking at their options, the CSL Behring team signed on with ON24. One of the key features that led them to choose ON24 is the wide range of engagement tools available on the platform. “[These tools] allow you to do different things that make that experience for your customers far more engaging than Teams or Zoom,” Davis explained. “This is very important because you don’t want a didactic presentation, you want interaction so people stay engaged in what you’re telling them.” 

To make sure their webinars are reaching their entire audience, the team uses the automated on-demand webinar conversion capabilities of ON24 as well as content hubs that host their evergreen digital programs to ensure that all their webinars are available for HCPs to view at their convenience. These content hubs have eliminated manual processes where they were previously working with their web teams to host, and allowed them to scale their programs quickly and efficiently, segmenting and personalizing content across categories and delivering a strong content library of their webinars to educate and engage HCPs.  These digital experiences are also available for use by their 40 affiliates around the world. This saves the affiliates time and money because they don’t need to create new webinars themselves, and has allowed CSL Behring to exponentially scale their digital engagement program impact. 

Because CSL Behring is in the highly regulated pharmaceuticals industry, using on demand allows them to pre-record webinars, have the content approved by their medical, legal and compliance teams, all before delivering it to their HCPs. 

Importantly, the ability to keep HCPs engaged and allow them to access content in segmented and categorized content hubs means far less without the detailed access to their engagement data ON24 provides. Stuart Davis attributes the ON24 integration with their Veeva CRM and having access to that data an important piece of their success. “All our ON24 data flows into the Veeva CRM so we know where customers are in terms of their adoption of our messaging. We take actions like sending them links to new emails based on the content that makes sense as the next step for them.”

The team hasn’t limited their use of ON24 to webinars. They also use the ON24 platform to educate and train HCPs. They provide weekly training sessions for physicians and nurses to learn how to infuse their products. They take the training a step further by providing downloadable materials in the resource center on the platform that HCPs can use in their daily practice. 

“ON24 has helped us get many existing and new customers to our events. It really helps drive our business.”

Results

So, what has this adoption of ON24 meant to CSL Behring’s orchestrated customer experience? According to Davis, ON24 has helped them generate hundreds of new customer HCPs as well as engaged and educated thousands of their current HCP customers around the world.

ON24 has also helped the team better understand their customers thanks to the data they have been able to collect from webinars — live and on-demand. Not only is that data passed to sales, it also helps them identify those potential net-new customers. This has allowed sales to reach out with an informed perspective to prospective clients with the ultimate goal being to better understand these HCPs as well as their current base of pharmaceutical customers.

When it comes to scaling their program in the future, Davis foresees a time when they expand their webinars to not only target HCPs, but patients as well with an expansion into pure educational content. This is only the beginning of their digital engagement evolution.

“We’re finding that creating on-demand versions of our webinars is driving additional attendees and interest in content that we wouldn’t have had if it wasn’t for the on-demand version.”
