I've been on a healthcare account for a year-

There's lots of red tape when it comes to things you can and can't say legally. It's a challenge but can be like a fun puzzle.

I thought I was going to feel so much better about working on healthcare after coming from a fried chicken account but quickly realized it's still just all about money sadly. But at least it's money in regards to saving lives?

Some projects are hard to understand because you have no idea what the healthcare client is even talking about when it comes to medical lingo and knowledge. Again a challenge but kinda fun to learn about. I know way more about healthcare, cancer, treatments, heart attack warning signs, etc and feel like it will come in handy.

Thankfully my client is always pushing the boundaries and wanting to be a actual health provider instead of a broke fix one. I would make sure the account you're interested in isn't one that needs to stay in a box- I can't imagine how boring that would be..

I actually find it interesting and want that experience. Other than zzz and it being boring, what are some other cons?

The vast majority of what you work on can barely be described as art direction or design if you’re coming from literally any other background.

Have you ever played any of the Resident Evil videogames? Lol.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!

I almost got out of Pharma... A CD from a Consumer agency doing solid work reached out, and I was so excited thinking I could finally do the kind of work I love. Then they told me they will fill the position with a current employee. I played it cool, but I can’t deny I felt frustrated. I don’t wanna do healthcare, but it seems like it’s the only thing available in NYC nowadays. I also don’t have many connections in this city. So, IF you need an ACD/Art (full-time or FL-to-perm), let’s chat! 🙌🏻
