No. I worked on a pharma drug 15 years ago at a general agency and didn’t touch drugs for years. Then when I turned 50-something, I went into pharma and that experience helped me get a job.

Have been working in healthcare for almost 20 years and have only had 2 pharma clients during that time (one as their interim comms Director while they hunted for new one, other to do a series of videos...). All the rest of healthcare clients have been nonprofits, government, academia & labs, health tech, hospitals, wellness, food/ingredient companies, and branding work for early stage startups of all types. The healthcare space is HUUUUUGE. You can’t go wrong and don’t have to work with any org you may philosophically disagree with or don’t want the crazy hours with...

Which agencies would you recommend joining to have a chance on working on such accounts? Award possibilities a plus too.
