MM+M today unveiled its 2023 MM+M Awards shortlist. Now in its 20th year, the medical marketing industry’s premier awards program celebrates the campaigns, organizations and people who created the year’s most compelling work.

More than 90 judges boasting a wide range of expertise narrowed down the hundreds of entries to a select top few. It’s this rigorous analysis that has made the MM+M Awards the industry’s gold standard.

“We’re constantly awed by the quality of work produced by the medical marketing community,” said MM+M editor-in-chief Larry Dobrow. “The judges who have to choose among the shortlisted entries have quite the challenging assignment ahead of them.”

The 2023 MM+M Awards will be handed out on October 5 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. For tickets and more information about the digital simulcast, visit www.mmm-awards.com.
