Influencers are NOT KOLs. We discuss using key opinion leaders (KOLs) and influencers in pharmaceutical and medical device marketing. 

Key Takeaways:

- Influencers vs. KOLs: Influencers have large social media followings and can engage younger demographics, while KOLs are respected experts whose endorsements are based on scientific evidence.

- Benefits and Risks: Influencers can create relatable content but risk non-compliance, while KOLs offer credibility but may deliver more conservative messages.

Best Practices:

  - Align with influencers and KOLs who match your target audience.

  - Ensure understanding of regulatory requirements.

  - Conduct thorough vetting and provide training.

  - Establish clear contracts and monitor content for compliance.
