Just Health wins UK agency of the year prize at PharmaTimes Awards

Just Health has been named UK communications agency team of the year at the 2014 PharmaTimes Awards, beating competition from a number of other firms.

The agency earned the accolade after performing best in a two-hour team task that challenged participants to come up with a robust and creative pitch concept in a limited time.

Just's representatives were able to come up with a strong concept that they communicated visually over the course of a 20-minute presentation to an independent judging panel.

According to managing director Kirsty Mearns, the reason the team was able to perform well under pressure is due to the fact they have all been trained using the agency's idea generation process, Just Invent, which encourages creativity and quick thinking.

She said the win is a testament to "the fabulous work that everyone at Just does every day", adding: "To be able to share in that success makes all the hard work worth it."

This caps a successful first year in charge of Just for Ms Mearns, who was appointed as managing director from InVentiv Health's medical education house Litmus in January.
