Consumer Healthcare Brands Embrace CPG Media Strategies
Consumer healthcare brands are increasingly adopting CPG-style media strategies to adapt to shifting consumer behavior and regulatory changes favoring OTC drugs. OTC sales rose to $58.2 billion in 2025, and the FDA has signaled openness to more prescription-to-OTC switches. Opella, spun out of Sanofi, exemplifies this trend, investing heavily in retail media, creator marketing, paid social, and search, with 60% of media investments now in digital channels. The company has built an 85-person in-house team using generative AI for creative production and brought programmatic and search in-house to boost ROI. Other companies like Kenvue and Hims & Hers are also adopting similar approaches. The shift brings challenges, including navigating retail media frictions and balancing long-term brand building with measurable performance, a balancing act CPG marketers already struggle with. AI search is also emerging as a key gateway to health information, requiring brands to monitor LLM citations.
Mid-Tier Marketers Scale AI Creative Production
Wyndham Hotels, Opella, and BetMGM are scaling AI-driven creative production, signaling that such capabilities are moving beyond industry giants like Unilever and L'Oréal. These mid-tier advertisers are building in-house teams using AI to mass-produce digital assets, leveraging platforms like Brandtech Group's Pencil and Adora, or developing bespoke internal systems. Wyndham reports a 15x increase in asset output and a 75% reduction in production time, while Opella produces 20x more content and BetMGM uses AI for imagery and video spots in a regulated category. The trend is driven by falling compute costs, improved tool reliability, and competitive pressure, with 81% of CMOs expecting to produce significantly more content. Despite adoption, brands maintain human oversight for certain elements like betting odds or medical professionals, and still rely on agencies for larger campaigns.
