CONCENTRIC PHARMA ADVERTISING TAPPED TO ADVERTISE SOLESTA™ UPON APPROVAL

Agency to design online and offline campaigns for Oceana’s fecal incontinence device

Concentric Pharma Advertising, an independent healthcare advertising and marketing agency, announced today that the firm will be creating both online and offline campaigns for the launch of the fecal incontinence device SOLESTA™ from Oceana Therapeutics, Inc. SOLESTA™ is currently under review by the FDA.

According to the National Digestive Information Clearinghouse, more than 5.5 million Americans suffer from fecal incontinence. The condition can be caused by a variety of issues, including aging and childbirth, and treatments range from modifying nutritional intake to surgery. The condition can have significant effects on a patient’s quality of life and psychological well-being, as many people resort to altering their social and physical activities, even their employment, to cope with the problem.

“This is an exciting product because it provides a minimally invasive treatment that doctors can turn to when conservative therapies like increased fiber consumption and biofeedback don’t work, or when surgery isn’t an option,” said Mike Banner, EVP, Managing Partner & Director of Client Services with Concentric. “This can be as many as half of the patients suffering from fecal incontinence, who then have no other option but to learn to live with the problem.”

Concentric will create campaigns targeted to both the physician and consumer audiences across the print and online media.

“We have worked with Concentric on many projects over the past two years,” says Matthew Rue, Senior Vice President of Marketing for Oceana Therapeutics, Inc. “Their process-driven approach will uncover creative ways to communicate the benefits of this treatment to physicians treating, and patients dealing with, this overwhelming condition.”
