01 · The opportunity

The stickier Sermo is, the more valuable every HCP becomes.

Sermo already owns the physician graph no one else can build. A daily habit on top of that graph is the simplest lever available: time on platform compounds into richer signal, and richer signal makes the HCP audience meaningfully more valuable to every partner Sermo works with.

Stickier
Every extra minute a day compounds
Time-on-platform is the multiplier on everything Sermo already owns.
Richer
Daily behaviour = richer HCP signal
Signal is what pharma partners ultimately pay to reach and understand.
More valuable
Signal lifts the value of every HCP relationship
A daily habit turns the graph Sermo already has into a bigger commercial surface.
02 · The solution
Introducing SermoSocial

A daily, topic-first social layer for verified HCPs.

SermoSocial sits natively on top of Sermo. It turns the pubs, trials, congress moments and physician conversations Sermo already sees into a daily feed of AI-synthesized reels, briefs, articles, digests and podcasts, with a peer discussion attached to every piece.

  • Follow topics, not people
  • AI does the synthesis
  • Cadence tuned to the signal
  • Peer thread on every piece

03 · The concept

Follow topics, not people, with social mechanics.

On SermoSocial, topics are the handles: indications, drugs, biomarkers, congresses, trials. HCPs follow the topics they care about, group them into bespoke clusters, and Sermo does the rest: generates the right format at the right cadence for each topic, and puts a peer thread under every piece.

Topics as handles

NSCLC, TROP2, tarlatamab, ESMO. HCPs follow what matters to their practice, not who happens to post about it.

Bespoke clusters

Combine a biomarker, a drug and a congress into one personal feed. The graph bends to the HCP, not the other way round.

Social mechanics

Likes, comments, references and shares on every piece. The peer conversation stays inside Sermo, where it belongs.

04 · Upstream value

Sponsored content, cohort-targeted.

Because topics are handles, pharma partners can reach exactly the HCP cohort that matters, in the exact format HCPs are already reading. The placement lives natively in the feed, tuned to the moments partners care about most: launches, congresses, guideline changes.

  • Cohort defined by the topics HCPs choose to follow
  • Native formats, indistinguishable in quality from editorial
  • Priced around the moments that move the market
Example cohort
Thoracic Med Oncs following TROP2 + brain mets

A pharma partner sponsors a native brief on the latest OS readout, delivered inside the same feed those HCPs already open every morning. Same format as editorial, clearly labelled, tuned to the cohort by topic, not proxy.

Precision
Topic-level, not demographic proxy

05 · Downstream value

A proprietary insight layer, downstream.

Aggregate, de-identified behaviour on SermoSocial becomes a signal product in its own right: what verified HCPs are engaging with, questioning, endorsing, at cohort level. Sellable to pharma, market research and Sermo's own insight products.
