The Creative Floor Healthcare awards introduces new animal health section

The Creative Floor Healthcare Awards 2018 is in its fifth year, and the deadline for entries is 13th July.

This year, there is a new animal health section, and the awards will as always donate a percentage of the profits raised to its talent and diversity fund which helps young talent break into the healthcare communications industry. It has raised £55k so far. Last year The Ideas Foundation, who help disadvantaged teenagers find a career in advertising, received £15,000 from the awards which it used to work with McCann Health on a project to help teenagers talk about suicide.

The judging panel includes Apple’s creative director Ben Kay and Google Labs’ executive creative director Tea Uglow, and representatives from McCann Health, Sudler, Concentric Health, Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness and Area23.

Founder of the awards, Shaheed Peera, said: “We will continue to celebrate agencies and clients who do brilliant work on real bread and butter briefs. This year we’ve bought the greatest line up of judges any healthcare award show has ever seen. This is fantastic exposure for the creative healthcare industry and a testament to the standard of what winning one of these awards mean.”
