MM+M today announced its 2024 Pinnacle Award honorees. The 20 members of this year’s Pinnacle class hail from a diverse range of health and wellness organizations, including pharma companies, medical marketing agencies, point-of-care networks and makers of devices and diagnostics.
Entering its fourth year, the Pinnacle Awards program is designed to celebrate the marketers, strategists and creators who have scaled the industry’s heights — but aren’t ready to stop climbing anytime soon.
“There are plenty of longtime industry leaders who deserve to be celebrated for what they have already achieved, even though they’re nowhere near ready to step back,” said Steve Madden, editorial director of Haymarket Media’s Business Media Group and editor-in-chief of MM+M. “So why wait until they retire? The Pinnacle Awards gives us a chance to simultaneously look back and look ahead.”
Over the course of the program’s first three years, the Pinnacle Awards have celebrated the accomplishments of 64 industry legends: 20 in 2023, 25 in 2022 and 19 in the inaugural 2021 class.
The 2024 Pinnacle Awards honorees will be profiled in the May 2024 print edition of MM+M and celebrated at an in-person event scheduled for May 2 at New York City’s Edison Ballroom. For more information, click here.
