Introduction
Cambridge Sciences Pharmaceuticals (CSP) is an international health care company. They
captured over $25 billions in sales in 2007. CSP is planning to launch a new prescription
drug in the weight loss market called Metabical in January, 2009.
Metabical would be the first prescription drug in the overweight segment approved by
FDA. From the clinical trials, the drug comes out as very effective with minimal side-
effects. The planned retail price is approximately $3-$5 per customer per day, which would
amount to a maximum of $420 treatment (assuming a 12 week treatment).
CSP plans to promote Metabical with a heavy marketing budget of approx. $23million.
Since CSP has invested a lot of time (10 years) and R&D funds(~$400million) on
Metabical, they want to have a viable positioning strategy and marketing communications
plan, so that the drug is not just successful but also has a long term and steady demand in
the market
