Why make another pharmaceutical?
More and more prescription drugs are being developed and sold which can be lifestyle enhancing rather than life-saving. So in response to the marketing and advertising tactics of the pharmaceutical industry I created a fictional marketing campaign to launch my own magic-bullet lifestyle pharmaceutical HAVIDOL™.

I wanted to create the entire drug marketing process. In order to do so it quickly became clear I had to follow these necessary steps.
• Find or invent a new disorder (wherein a need is first found and then the disorder is penned)
• Name and brand the new drug
• Develop a good looking pill
• Generate promotional merchandise
• Create a Website, TV and print advertisements.
Why HAVIDOL?

Complex Relationship between the ads and the consumer
Print and TV DTC Ads
• appear to affect prescribing practices for better or worse
• are often inaccurate,
• frequently in violation of FDA regulations
• promote inappropriate use
• increase the price of drugs

Campaigning with new media
Whether you are are culture jamming or actually trying to sell pharmaceuticals, electronic media offers serious advantages over traditional media.
Benefits can include• low cost content delivery
• targeted
• potentially more informative
• potentially more engaging
For drug marketers there is the added benefit of gathering personal information and masquerading as health information.

Outcomes of HAVIDOLThe drug industry is so fraught with problems it will take more than banning DTCA to fix them. However 22 million Americans currently take psychotropic medication, most for relatively mild conditions.
Desired outcomes for HAVIDOL include
• Raising awareness of drug marketing tactics through humor
• Distinguishing between disease and discontent
• Questioning the content we gather from the web
