Rachel Farrow, Chair of the awards, said: “As we saw in 2017, there has been a wide spread of Gold awards across the agencies showing that there are numerous highly talented agencies producing outstanding digital work. Some are specialist digital agencies, others identify themselves as healthcare communications, medical education, creative, patient focused agencies, PR or market access agencies. What they have in common is that they can all deliver fantastic digital work and these awards allow that work to be highlighted. I’m really pleased we’ve been able to add in the Pharma Digital Partner award this year as it’s great to have a chance to highlight the fantastic working relationships and partnerships between clients and their digital agencies.”
