Honestly, I hate Pharma. BUT I have to recognize that agencies like Area 23, McCann Health, FCB Health and The Bloc are doing great. Their CDs are pushing hard to change the business into one more creative, dynamic and pleasant for creatives who are not into that complex pharmaceutical world. Some of them also have good benefits through their holding companies.

The Bloc? They did a couple of fake stuff... that’s all.

I worked off and on as a freelancer at GSW (now Syneos) a few years ago and really liked it. I haven’t worked there since ownership changed, so I can’t speak to what it’s like there now.

Agreed, syneos/GSW is great 👍🏼
I worked under Trent and loved it

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
