Digital Clinic

In this episode of The Digital Clinic, we explore the dramatic transition from consumer-packaged goods to medical device marketing with Michel Montenegro, Global Digital Lead & Content Operations Manager at a global medical device organization. Michel shares his journey from executing performance marketing at billion-dollar CPG brands like Procter & Gamble, Unilever, and Kimberly-Clark to navigating the highly regulated world of healthcare marketing. We discuss how regulatory constraints fundamentally transform the marketer's approach, forcing deeper attention to customer needs, value propositions, and strategic preparation, and why these limitations actually elevate marketing effectiveness. The conversation explores AI's role in healthcare marketing, from avatar-driven content to creative variation strategies that maintain compliance while driving performance. We examine the importance of transparency in AI usage, building trust in regulated environments, and shifting from product-focused campaigns to patient-centered partnerships that extend throughout the entire healthcare journey. This episode delivers actionable insights for marketers navigating regulated environments, demonstrating how strategic thinking, AI-powered innovation, and compliance-first approaches can transform constraints into competitive advantages and create meaningful impact on patient outcomes.
