Pitch wedges
Entry angles for an account with no public AOR — frame around fit and capability, not incumbent replacement
  1. W1WPP IS already the global Sanofi incumbent — this is a DEFEND + EXPAND pitch, not a displace pitch. Mindshare globally + WPP creative agencies on 'Miracles of Science' corporate brand.
  2. W2Nuvaxovid TW launch 2025 is fresh activation surface — disease awareness + vaccination campaign in TW market
  3. W3Adult vaccine awareness (flu seniors, pediatric immunization) — TW family-decision marketing wedge
  4. W4Dupixent immunology HCP + patient-support programs in TW — meaningful Rx scope
  5. W5Opella consumer health spin-off (Allegra, Dulcolax) is a fresh AOR opportunity — could be pitched separately as the spin-off completes
  6. W6Local TW cultural insight for 'Miracles of Science' adaptation — patient story localization
Current creative landscape
Which shops have we actually seen working with this brand — fragmented? In-house? Project-based?
  • User brief said 'Sanofi global Publicis Power of One 2018' — this is INCORRECT per public record. WPP/GroupM won Sanofi global media in 2017-2018 review; Mindshare became global media AOR across 60+ countries.
  • WPP also added to creative roster alongside Publicis and Havas — multi-shop creative model. WPP is the BIG winner not Publicis.
  • Mindshare (WPP/GroupM) is Sanofi global media AOR — exceptions: Japan (Hakuhodo handles consumer health), US (Havas on Rx side).
  • Sanofi 2024 corporate brand 'Miracles of Science' was DEVELOPED BY WPP agencies (GCI Health + VML) — strong WPP creative footprint, not Publicis.
  • Publicis Health has some Sanofi creative scope but is not dominant — WPP is the lead media holding group.
  • Opella consumer health spin-off announced 2024 — Allegra/Dulcolax moving to separate entity, fresh AOR opportunity.
  • Sanofi Taiwan launched Nuvaxovid in 2025 — active launch surface area in TW.

Decision makers
Who to engage on day one
What to avoid

Don't pitch as if WPP is the challenger — WPP is the global incumbent media partner. Don't pitch creative platforms that override 'Miracles of Science' — that's WPP's own work. Don't pitch Allegra/Dulcolax as core Sanofi scope — they're moving to Opella spin-off. Focus on defend + expand within existing WPP relationship, with TW-local activation depth.

Competitive set
  • GSK Taiwan (Shingrix vs Sanofi flu vaccines; Trelegy vs respiratory)
  • Pfizer Taiwan (Prevenar vs Sanofi pediatric vaccines)
  • Novartis Taiwan (immunology)
  • AbbVie Taiwan (Humira / Skyrizi vs Dupixent in immunology)
  • Bayer Taiwan (consumer health: Allegra vs Aspirin/Bepanthen)
