Now in its sixth year, the Pharma Choice Awards continues to recognize the best healthcare campaigns as determined by the people who know what it takes to craft a truly great campaign. As our industry’s very own version of the People’s Choice Awards, the following winners represent a true reflection of what the industry believes to be the most remarkable, groundbreaking and visionary creative from the past year. Even better, these campaigns were not just chosen by colleagues, but at times the very people you are competing against for business.
This year, more than 6,000 votes were cast online—a new record—to determine our 36 total winners with a Gold, Silver and Bronze winner in 12 distinct categories. Once again we are honoring the best in Professional Campaign, Consumer and Professional Websites, Unbranded, Sales Aid, App, Print and Digital Self-Promotion, Video and DTC/DTP. But we also decided to recognize the best Multichannel campaigns and open up the awards to the multitude of other creative ideas that just don’t fit into any of the previously listed categories. This year’s “Other” submissions included everything from branded pill caps to a digital game for neurologists.
Peruse through the following categories, get a taste of the creative process behind each winning campaign and get ready to be inspired for 2015.
