Hollywood Marketing, Middle-Aged Women Demographic
A Sony executive revealed that Hollywood studios are pivotally targeting middle-aged women as their primary growth market.

ABC 2020, Saphris Drug Promotion, Pediatric Schizophrenia

Saphris, approved by the FDA in September 2009, is being marketed as a solution for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in minors.
