PM360 Adds Three New Categories for 2020 Trailblazer Awards
Awards Are Now Open for Nominations to Recognize Innovation in Healthcare Marketing
NEW YORK, NY, January, 22, 2020: Entries are now being accepted for the 12th annual PM360 Trailblazer Awards, which recognize excellence and innovation in healthcare marketing. The PM360 Trailblazer Awards honor the industry’s most innovative people, companies, teams, and initiatives in nine categories: Companies of the Year, Brand Champions, Marketer of the Year, Marketing Team of the Year, Initiative Awards, Vanguard Award, Imagination Award, Best Natural Product Brand, and Lifetime Achievement.
Three new categories were added to this year’s awards:
The Best Natural Product Brand recognizes the best new natural products to hit the market as an alternative to pharmaceuticals. The natural product must have hit the market between May 2018 and May 2020 and entries will be evaluated on criteria such as the degree of professionalism and creativity in the communications of the product’s benefits, the ability of the brand’s marketing team to engage with both patients and healthcare professionals, and the product’s overall personality (including package design, taste, etc.).
Cannabinoid Professional Education was added as a subcategory in the Initiative Awards and is open to any initiative aimed at educating a professional audience (i.e., doctors, nurses, physician assistants, etc.) about a branded cannabinoid product.
Data/Analytics Initiative was also added as a subcategory in the Initiative Awards and is open to any use of data or analytics to more effectively identify and target audiences, increase the effectiveness or ROI of a single campaign or overall media strategy, and/or demonstrate the effectiveness of a campaign or strategy. This can include the use of programmatic and other marketing automation technologies.
To enter or view the complete list of this year’s PM360 Trailblazer Awards categories and nomination criteria, go to: https://www.pm360online.com/trailblazerawards.
