Supreme Pod Ep 6: The Rise of AI Platforms in Life Science & Healthcare Marketing

Описание: In life sciences and healthcare marketing, most teams are still stuck in chatbot mode, prompting a content generator that’s missing business context and creating a loop of frustration, repetition, and redo.
In this episode, Paul sits down with Sheldon Zhai (Founder and Chief AI Officer, Supreme Group) and Leigh Wasson (SVP, AI and Innovation, Supreme Group) to break down what actually drives value: using AI as leverage across the full marketing workflow, not just a series of disconnected point solutions.
They unpack why AI adoption stalls in regulated environments, how point tools create downstream bottlenecks (yes, MLR), and what it looks like when AI is embedded into an AI Platform (AIP) that connects curated business context with live performance data, allowing teams to move beyond chat into real deliverables, optimization, and measurable business results.
If you’re a senior marketer in pharma, biotech, medtech, or healthcare and you’re trying to operationalize AI safely, then this episode is for you.

What you’ll learn in this episode

Why “AI strategy” is overhyped but AI leverage is not
Why AI adoption stalls in regulated teams: the pace of change, the drag of recontextualizing chat, and security/compliance risks
How point tools speed up one step but create downstream bottlenecks (including MLR) and why end-to-end workflows matter
What an AI Platform (AIP) actually is, and how it moves teams beyond chat into a connected marketing stack
How curated business context (strategy, personas, proof points, approved assets etc.) and live performance data turns AI into an insight engine and performance optimizer, not just a content generator
Why marketing in regulated industries should prioritize accuracy, traceability, and governance over speed
How to measure impact in the real world, where the real goal is measurable results, not just more content
