SUMMARY
While nearly 33 million people suffer from OAB (overactive bladder), due to stigma and embarrassment, very few are actually speaking to their doctor. So, how do you become the #1 brand in a category no one wants to talk about? This barrier, coupled with a highly competitive, well-established market at VESIcare's 2005 launch, were challenges that we faced and overcame. Our Pipe People campaign has allowed us to connect with our complacent target, and in 2011, VESIcare became the #1 brand in the entire category.
