I’ve been having a super hard time concepting lately, especially knowing that the “concept” will mostly serve as a sticker to slap on the cover of a CVA and the top of a website.

Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?
