inVentiv Health honoured in PharmaTimes awards

inVentiv Health has been honoured in the one of the UK's most prestigious medcomms industry awards.

Litmus Medical Marketing and Education, the firm's London-based arm, was named Communications Agency of the Year for 2013 by PharmaTimes.

In order to be considered for the accolade, which has a two-decade history, agencies need to be nominated by their clients based on the strength of the year's work.

A pool of five finalists go on to compete in a two-hour simulated pitch challenge, crafted by senior marketing and healthcare leaders. For 2013, frontrunners were asked to respond to an 'NHS Challenge', based on their common expertise in working for the UK health service.

Commenting on the Litmus win, inVentiv global managing director Elaine Ferguson said it was a "fantastic honour" for the London team to be recognised.

"The award is especially meaningful to us because we were nominated by clients who we work with every day," she added.
