Well over 6,000 votes were cast this year to determine the 39 winners of our 7th annual Pharma Choice Awards. As always, you—the very people who spend countless days and nights striving to craft the perfect campaign for various healthcare brands—chose these winners. Who better to pick the best healthcare creative from the past year than the people who are tasked with breathing life into healthcare brands? You know which campaigns are truly visionary. Which ones demand our awe. Which ones tick you off because the idea is so good you wish you were responsible for it. And now you know which campaigns your friends and colleagues deem award worthy.

The top three vote getters in each of our 13 distinct categories were selected as Gold, Silver and Bronze winners. Once again we are honoring the best in Professional Campaign, Professional Website, Consumer Website, DTC/DTP, Digital and Print Self-promotion, App, Video, Sales Aid, Multichannel, Print and Digital Unbranded and “Other.” This year the other category included a wide range of campaigns such as pharmacy, social media, corporate logos, patient starter kits, interactive games and more. As you may have seen, we also continue to feature our top overall vote getters, regardless of category, on our cover. The top three this year were AbelsonTaylor’s “Amitiza Commercial,” Artcraft Health’s “The Thrive App” and the Patient Worthy Consumer Website.

Congratulations to all of this year’s winners. Here’s hoping that their achievements can provide you with some creative inspiration for 2016.

Serotonin Factory

HCPs are unaware that serotonin production within certain tumor cells drives the debilitating symptoms of carcinoid syndrome. Harrison and Star developed this provocative animation to illustrate the toxic effects of intracellular serotonin overproduction on the tumor microenvironment. Dramatic sound effects, high-contrast illustration, and crisp text effectively demonize tumor-derived serotonin to establish the need for a new treatment approach for carcinoid syndrome.
