    "We’re not ready for the next pandemic.”

    That was the headline of a blog post written by technology mogul and infectious disease-focused philanthropist Bill Gates, not in 2020 as the U.S. struggled to respond to COVID-19, but in March 2015, nearly five years to the day before American life shut down.

    Ethan Lindenberger is now a world-renowned vaccine advocate. But it was only last November that the then-18-year-old gained attention following a Reddit discussion in which he asked about how to get vaccinated, despite the opposition of his “kind of stupid parents.” Lindenberger, who grew up without common vaccinations, finally started getting immunizations in December.

    Earlier this year, he appeared before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions to share that he decided to get vaccinated because he saw that the information in defense of vaccines he got from the CDC, the World Health Organization and scientific journals heavily outweighed the concerns.

    Rumors of the death of TV advertising have been much exaggerated, especially in the still buoyant pharmaceutical sector, where spend rose 65% in the past five years, 9% year on year in 2018, to $5.1 billion.

    CBS is easily the market leader in the space, pocketing almost $1 billion from pharma ads in 2018, overseen by president and chief advertising revenue officer Jo Ann Ross.

    As Ross told MM&M: “We’re the network of choice when it comes to pharma advertising. They spend the lion’s share of their upfront budgets with us and when new drugs come into the pipeline we get those as well.”

    In an interview for Deloitte Digital’s MM&M Agency Issue profile, Larry Mickelberg didn’t dispute the widely held notion that, of the A-list consultancies, Deloitte poses the largest competitive threat to traditional agencies. “There are firms we respect creatively and firms we respect technologically, but really, we’re out here doing our own thing,” he said.

    While her main claim to fame will always be her performance on the tennis court, Serena Williams recently stepped into the spotlight as a mother — and as an advocate for maternal healthcare. In early 2018, Williams shared her birth story with the world in an op-ed for CNN. Despite her status as a highly paid athlete who can afford the highest-quality healthcare, Williams’ birthing experience didn’t go as smoothly as expected.

    When Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway, and JP Morgan selected Harvard surgeon, health policy expert, and The New Yorker writer Atul Gawande to lead their nonprofit effort to reimagine care delivery for their U.S. employees, the healthcare community erupted in delight.

    Gawande is a multiscale thinker focused on implementation, one who is instinctively attuned to the patient experience. Consequently, he brings an “impressive ability to see through the complexity that surrounds our healthcare system and create narratives in simple and relatable ways people can understand,” according to his Harvard colleague Dr. Ashish Jha.

    Before she became a physician, Sumbul Desai worked in strategy for Disney until a family health event initiated a change in her career direction. After medical school, she trained in internal medicine and joined the Stanford Medicine faculty as a hospital medicine specialist, but she continued to apply her business acumen to solving problems in the healthcare delivery system as the Department of Medicine’s vice chair of strategy and innovation and as associate chief medical officer responsible for digital health in Stanford Health Care.

    She led the creation of ClickWell, a “bricks and clicks” primary care clinic, and cofounded Stanford’s Center for Digital Health. At Apple since 2017, she and her team collaborate closely with engineering on a variety of health initiatives and features, including the Apple Heart Study.

    In some ways, T.J. Parker, 32, is like many of his fellow millennials. Before settling on a clear career trajectory, he flirted with working in various industries. However, unlike most of his peers, Parker has sold a company to Amazon — for a reported 10 figures. The venture that so enamored Jeff Bezos is the online pharmacy PillPack, which Parker cofounded with Elliott Cohen in 2013.

    PillPack launched with an initial investment of just $120,000, but grew at an explosive clip; less than a year later, it had raised an additional $4 million. Investors couldn’t get enough of the model — the company would go on to raise $118 million in total — which delivers pre-sorted, pre-packaged, and pre-labeled doses of medication directly to individuals’ homes.

    If today’s chief marketing officer hardly resembles the one of years past, then Penn Medicine’s Suzanne Sawyer best exemplifies how significantly the role has modernized. Airwaves and roadsides are rife with hospital ad campaigns, but CMOs can no longer concern themselves solely with building brand awareness. They must be successful in building revenue, too.

    In the case of nonprofit Penn Med, that means sticking to its roots in translational medicine — the institution developed and helped commercialize Novartis’ new immunotherapy Kymriah — and, the health system has invested heavily to build out a marketing data mart that utilizes 30 different martech tools to capture the patient journey.

Earlier in his career, Slovenski spent three years at Humana, rising to become VP of innovation.

    Humana and Wal-Mart work together on prescription drug plans for individuals in the Medicare program. But when Slovenski joined Wal-Mart, it prompted speculation the company would form a closer partnership with his former employer. However, analysts said an August announcement about closer cooperation between Wal-Mart and Anthem on providing consumers OTC medications makes other healthcare mergers less likely.

    If healthcare is the most intransigent industry today, it makes sense it’d take one of the biggest disruptors, Amazon, to change it. Despite its flashier initiatives — forming a healthcare company with Berkshire Hathaway and JP Morgan Chase, as well as acquiring online pharmacy PillPack — Amazon had already been angling for a healthcare push, positioning itself as a major distributor for medical suppliers and customers.

    Chris Holt, the leader of global healthcare, said he believes a customer-focused approach is the key to success. Relying on easy-to-use tools and an efficient supply chain, Holt compares Amazon Business’ healthcare unit to a “marketplace.” He wants to change the setup of hospital purchasing, which is conducted through contracts with distributors and manufacturers, per The Wall Street Journal.

Those big stages and the public scrutiny that comes with them have never been too big for Ray, and it is why he has again attained this type of recognition.

    He has handled a range of complex and intense PR issues that would cause most to wither — and has done it with skill, purpose, and sound judgment.

    It is a real honor to write about Wendy Lund as she receives this recognition.  Sure, she is an excellent health industry comms practitioner who helps clients solve big challenges on a daily basis. However, when I think about Wendy, three things come to mind: incredible passion for the business; unwavering tenacity to get the right things done; and authentic, early day advocacy for women and moms in the workplace. 

     I was lucky enough to join MSL when Wendy ran the New York office years ago. She had a palpable business sensibility, but conveyed empathy and compassion as a modern-day leader should. She still does. And when it comes to advocating for her teams, you want her on your side. Talent that works for Wendy rarely strays.

Reid’s inspiration was contagious because, for years, I watched as the agency grew its offering and footprint to become a leader in the industry. In fact, it was Evoke’s continued dedication to the mantra “Health More Human” that inspired me to join the agency.

    When you first meet Reid, his passion for the industry is undeniable. He has an impressive, deep knowledge of both the market and our clients’ business. This knowledge, combined with his drive never to accept the status quo, inspires our pursuit of new ways to provide value for our clients.

    In response, Excedrin ran a Twitter campaign called #DebateHeadache. The brand also reached out to disgruntled sports fans. After a video of Mets fan Frank Fleming complaining about missing a game due to unreliable transportation went viral, the PR team at Excedrin provided Fleming two tickets and a private car to a Mets game against the Miami Marlins. Excedrin then tried to ease the headaches of devotees of the hapless Cleveland Browns.
