I left the industry and am not writing anymore. Feels great
What do you do now ??
Theyre going to make DTC advertising harder, not illegal. Trump and RFK are already strategizing this approach, which will be harder to fight in court than an all-out ban. Tax cuts will be going away, with stricter enforcement of stricter regulations. Brush up on these regulations and keep an eye on the news for any changes. Prove your worth by being on top of this.
This economy is not one in which anybody should be trying to pivot, and that's only going to become more true.
Hmmmm. What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
I pivoted. I do non profit. I don’t make as much but I’m so FREAKING HAPPY to be away from pharma advertising. The single most embarrassing job I’ve ever had. Trying to sell the 15th blood pressure medication to the market (that no one needed), backing heartburn medications that work no better than 4 Tums, selling opioids (!!) AFTER they were deemed dangerous. And the cheesy, ridiculous imagery they want. It’s nauseating. There were a few things I feel good about: Oral B, Dove soap, hmmmm, can’t think of anything else. If you want to pivot, pivot.
What would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?
I've spent my career between pharma and B2B or consumer but I'm a designer. So much of it came from networking and friends offering things outside of the space and doing projects on the side so my portfolio wasn't all pharma. I like pharma though, I think it's more complex but I do like how the other work is more for fun sometimes.
