So far the advertising that Mannkind has done leaves a lot to be desired.
They need to hire a better agency to run advertising that is hard hitting and impactful.
Right now they should be concentrating on an inhale vs a shot.
That picture of a kid looking like a human pin cushion says it all and should be utilized in advertising or one like it.
If a picture is worth a thousand words that one certainly is.
Also why not try to sign on Tom Hanks or Dr. Dre, Phife Dog,or David Wells or someone famous who is diabetic to be a spokesperson for Afrezza?
Try to get them to use Afrezza and see the amazing results who knows.
I know what Mike is doing now is moving us forward but it is just much too slowly and I think we need to be me innovative and forward thinking.
Also to help thwart shorts perhaps Mannkind can offer a minimal or onetime dividend.
I know we can and must do better. Just random thoughts

You have made some valid points in your post. I have also expressed similar sentiments. Mike is doing a remarkable job, but I think that he needs to take the gloves off and take some immediate action to move this SP.

The Afrezza commercial recently won an award. The kid looking like a pin cushion.....kids aren't approved by FDA to use Afrezza. I get it though, Mannkind could do the same with an adult but also again, the commercial won an award. Doctor's acceptance, knowledge and willing to prescribe is the key and it seems Mannkind is focusing on this.
I am curious which doctors have the most patients using Afrezza. Is there any way to find this out?

Agree with advertising and lack of strong social media presence issues. But a cash strapped company in its growth faze should never ever issue a dividend.

Doctors who have the most patients using Afrezza? Probably the ones with the line going out the door and down the street.
And yes, #1 commercial award !!!

MNKD should raise $200m and do a real DTC push.
