Has anyone ever worked in healthcare advertising or PR? Is it true that it’s hard to get out of pharma once you’re in it? Say you want to work on consumer brands later.

The idea that pharma is a trap is dated. Now, some agencies really value the experience you get in working in a challenging, highly regulated environment. It may be harder for creative or strategy but there’s no doubt that your experience would be beneficial on the account side

HELP my friends! I’ve been invited to a recruiter screen for the initial interview with HR for Global Safety Associate. This job mainly deals with Adverse event/high prescribing meds product complaints. In my current role I deal with on boarding pt & getting patients work done from A-Z till they get on their meds. The only part which is similar is that I’m the main point of contacts for pt so I can report their complaint to Health Canada. How can I convince them I can handle this new job

Anyone else find it weird for their male boss to WhatsApp you asking about how you are (prior to your due date and prior to giving birth)?

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?
