In this way, they present the highest return on investment of all video types that pharma companies can use.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve established your goal and channels, it\u2019s time to get to the heart of the problem \u2013 calculating the return on investment of video marketing in pharma.
