MM+M has unveiled its Pinnacle Awards class of 2022, featuring 25 of the medical marketing industry’s most venerable marketers, strategists and creators.
In the program’s second year, MM+M selected industry leaders who have reached the peaks of their careers – but are far from done. They have helped build the industry into what it is today and will continue their efforts through innovation and transformative work for years to come.
“Medical marketing is an ever-changing business, which makes staying ahead of trends and new technologies almost a full-time job in itself,” said MM+M editor-in-chief Larry Dobrow. “That makes the achievement of Pinnacle Award honorees even more impressive: Not only have they evolved with the times, but they’ve also continued to operate at a high level throughout.”
Be sure to come back in early April for profiles on all 25 of this year’s honorees. For tickets to this year’s in-person celebration on May 4 at the Edison Rooftop in New York City, please click here.
