Pharma Digital Marketing Agency in India
ICG is India's specialist pharma digital marketing agency, building KOL (Key Opinion Leader) programmes, D2C OTC marketing campaigns, and B2B physician outreach for pharmaceutical and medical device brands since 2018. We operate within the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act + CDSCO advertising framework — building brand authority through condition awareness + KOL thought leadership + D2C for OTC, not through prohibited prescription drug promotion.
Pharma digital marketing requires regulatory dual-fluency.
Pharma marketing operates under two regulatory frameworks: the Drugs and Magic Remedies Act (no DTC advertising of prescription drugs) and the NMC Code (no exploitation of physician relationships for marketing). ICG's pharma practice has separate workflows for OTC D2C (where DTC is permitted) vs prescription drug brand building (where it must be physician-mediated).
