Have any format or healthcare agencies had any communication today from leadership about Trump‘s ban on Pharma advertising?

It’s not a pharma advertising ban. It’s a ban on DTC TV ads. And let’s be honest, no one likes them or finds value in them other than our clients and our agency leadership ($$$). Good riddance.

TBH that's the part I kind of like. It's very sketchy that all our laws about advertising these drugs seem to go out the window as soon as the advertiser is a healthcare facility rather than the manufacturer.

I know Pub Groupe was having a meeting about this today. IMO the lack of specificity allows him the lack of accountability so, per usual, he can say he’s making an impact without setting measurable goals so no one can track the impact. While agencies have a right to be concerned, I don’t see much action actually coming out of this…

From what I’m reading, it does not look like he is banning DTC ads, just ensuring they maintain fair balance of side effects.

A new format- the 5 minute ad, with an unfair balance - :30 of benefits and 4:30 of major statement.

Editor 1 exactly! In my experience, manufacturers have been extremely conservative with marketing. The telehealth companies, not so much. But the gov makes it seem like manufacturers are running wild. All ads do is tell people to ask their doctor about [drug].

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. I feel like every pharma concept I’ve ever seen or created becomes so cheesy once it appears in tactics. Does anyone have any examples of HCP creative (non-DSA) that is both impactful and translates well into pharma tactics?

Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
