Healthcare Marketing Daily is a news briefing curated for healthcare marketers in search of the latest developments impacting their profession, compliments of BulletinHealthcare. Regular coverage includes inspirational stories about healthcare marketers delivering results for their brands, as well as innovations from the broader world of marketing and advertising.
We wrap up each year with an End of Year edition, which features a collection of the year’s most engaging stories. For many, 2020 has been anything but average — a year that required people and brands alike to adapt in the face of adversity, to the extent that “pivot” became 2020’s marketing “word of the year.”
Some popular themes from previous years also remained strong, like highly-anticipated drug launches and the evolving landscape of marketing to HCPs in an increasingly digital world. This year certainly demonstrated an acceleration of the latter, with a lack of facetime forcing life science companies to adopt new strategies and modes of communication with HCPs.
As we reflect on the top healthcare marketing news of 2020, despite all the challenges, encouraging displays of resilience, agility, and creativity are reasons to enter the new year with a renewed sense of optimism. Without further ado, below are this year’s top headlines!
