PM360 Announces Winners of 2020 Pharma Choice Awards
The Only Healthcare Creative Awards Voted on by the Industry
NEW YORK, NY, January 21, 2021: The votes are in and the winners have been announced for the 12th Annual PM360 Pharma Choice Awards. Every year, PM360, a leading health and life sciences marketing industry trade magazine, asks the industry to submit the top creative campaigns for the past year and then posts all of the entries online for its readers to vote on. It is the only industry award that gives everyone a say in who wins.
During the month of November, voters go to the Pharma Choice voting site and review the entries in the 13 categories (App, Consumer Website, DTC/DTP, Multichannel, Philanthropic, Professional Campaign, Professional Website, Sales Aid, Self-promotion, Social Media, Unbranded, Variety, and Video) and then pick their favorite in each category. After the voting period ends, the top three entries with the most votes in each category are named Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners. The 39 winners are featured in the January/February 2021 issue of PM360. And can be viewed online at www.pm360online.com/2020-pm360-pharma-choice-award-winners.
“We are pleased to announce that this year’s voter turnout to determine the winners reached a new record high with more than 8,000 votes cast,” said Anna Stashower, CEO/Publisher, PM360. “What makes the Pharma Choice Awards so special is that everyone in the industry can serve as a judge. And really, who makes a better judge then all of the people who work within our industry and know the challenges and creative confines that marketers have to navigate to deliver truly imaginative and attention-grabbing initiatives.”
When voters are reviewing the submissions, they are asked to consider content, format, imagination, influence on the industry, and overall quality when voting. In addition to the three winners in each category, the top four overall vote-getters receive special recognition by gracing PM360’s January/February 2021 issue cover. This year the top honors went to JPA Health and Medicines360 for “Birth Control is #NotAwkward” in the Social Media category; Snow Companies, Agate, Artcraft, and Pharming for the “Ruconest Patient App” in the App category; Calcium USA and NEKTAR for “Immuniverse” in the Unbranded category; and Concentric Health Experience and Sunovion Pharmaceuticals for the “Room to Breathe Virtual Reality Experience” in the Video category.
