Solstice: An AI-native agency accelerating the creation of compliant content
08 Jun, 20263 minute read
Life sciences and healthcare marketing is a highly regulated field that focuses on creating educational content and building trust in both healthcare professionals and the public. It is currently estimated that pharma and healthcare digital ad spending will reach $26.2 billion this year, with traditional ads weighing in at $6.9 billion.
However, when it comes to content creation in this world, publishing materials is frequently prolonged by something called the Medical-Legal-Regulatory (MLR) process. Due to the nature of pharmaceuticals and other drugs, their marketing content must be checked rigorously for scientific accuracy and compliance.
Below we’ve spotlighted Solstice, a NY-based AI-native marketing agency that combines their tech with compliance expertise to help pharmaceutical marketers accelerate the publication of compliant marketing campaigns so that they reach practitioners and patients quicker than ever before.
Who is Solstice?
Solstice was co-founded in 2023 by Yiwen Li and Aris Saxena and is headquartered in New York City. They are an AI-native marketing agency set on helping pharma marketing professionals speed up the creation, evaluation and distribution of their commercial content.
By combining proprietary AI models with content-generation workflows, regulatory-review automation, and in-house expertise, Solstice is helping brands solve the issue of the lengthy MLR process and publish campaigns (from initial brief through to submission) in a fraction of the traditional timeline.
What they offer
Solstice’s offering allows them to streamline biopharma marketing and commercialization by speeding up the MLR process, which is renowned for being highly labor-intensive and a cause for major bottlenecks.
According to their latest press release, their customers can:
- launch campaigns 12 times faster than they would via traditional agencies
- move content from concept to MLR submission in under 48 hours and have it market-ready in roughly 10 days
- produce nearly three times more content per quarter
- reduce the average number of MLR reviews per asset from 3.2 rounds to 1.2 rounds
The agency can also leverage AI to build brand libraries from existing assets, provide feedback for teams, measure campaign performance, and generate new briefs at speed.
