I personally favor advertising compared to PR or Med Ed (personal bias). But I think either PR or Advertising would be a good (possibly easier) starting route versus Med Ed.

Even if you are in account currently with something like retail, I assume a lot of agencies might look at you to start at a more junior level then you may be now since Pharma work has a lot more interdependencies given FDA review and compliance.

Recommend reading into MM+M, where they list out top healthcare agencies. Of course there are other smaller agencies that don’t make this list, but still good starting point to see what agencies are doing healthcare marketing. Also PR Week for a more PR focus healthcare agencies.

Feel free to message me separately if needed and I will try to help as much as I can.

I’m in hospitality in an in-house creative agency.
