 The approach is to focus on Alliances and Branding:

Branding and marketing is as important for the success of biotech products as it is for any other product. "Competition is intense and often there are no perceptible differences between two drugs used to treat the same disease," observes the analyst.

 "Branding efforts are hence necessary right from the conception to the post launch stage to not only help in clear product positioning to the physician and the managed care organization, but also to the patient."

Competitive benchmarking of partnerships is also integral to the growth of biotech companies. However, finding the right partner is extremely challenging. Maintaining relationships with partners requires in depth planning and meaningful interactions between partners on a periodic basis.

Australian biotech companies must also strive to develop an effective distribution strategy through a large national and global networking in order to expand geographical reach

In my openion brands make all the difference between an average and a great product, there is little differenciation between the two and ultimately the winner is the one who can make the consumer recall the product- in other words, brand recall. Many generic biotech products suffer from this problem hence rebranding the copycats is such big business.

Yes I also agree because without effective branding you cannot have a effective image of your products and services .
