Any CREATIVE, AWARD-WINNING healthcare agencies in NYC besides of Area 23?

I want to do more than these never-ending launches and boring brochures 😪 If they do Social Impact, Consumer healthcare (OTC), Welless, or related categories out of Pharma, even better.

I used to work at A23. Most of the “creative” work is spec, pro bono, etc. I’d like to work on OTC brands or categories that don’t require too much clinical language. That is a torture to me 😪

They are not. There’s a lot of limitations. I just want to sell products to consumers, not saving lives. That’s what doctors are for.

Klick! Independent agency that actually sticks to their employee first mantra, which is easy to do when you don’t answer to a greedy holding company.

I know. I joined them because I thought the daily work was going to be exciting. I left as soon as I could. Most of the creative work is fake.

Yeah. I was so impressed with their creative work and when I met Tim and some CDs I decided to join... I didn’t knew what a CVA was and that it takes 1 to 2 years to make a stupid brochure. It was a nightmare.

The best work Area 23 has ever done is take a few wins and convince you all that they’re the non-pharma pharma agency. Yes, they’ve done some great work, no question, but its select teams. The majority of the work is as pharma as everything else.

They work in a very niche area of healthcare.

I’ve never worked there, but i interviewed at 21 Grams and they seem creatively ambitious.

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does.
