This award celebrates the power of creativity as a tool to communicate key messages to target audiences. The judges will be looking to understand how creative ideas and choice of execution link back to research and insights relevant to the target audience. They are keen to understand the core creative idea behind specific executions, and the rationale for choosing any particular route over another. What mindset changes were identified, and how did the creative seek to deliver that change? What rationale and validation did the creative go through to ensure success? How was the creative measured?
Entries can showcase words or images, digital, print or any other medium, along with an explanation of why you feel this particular execution delivered against a clearly defined need. Of course, the judges will also be looking for stunning imagery and cleverly worded copy, but we’re also keen to understand the brief and how your creative has answered it. So, to win this award you need to show:

All campaigns need a reason to exist; a problem to overcome or an unmet need to be resolved. Tell us what insights you have as to why your campaign was needed

Let us know what insights you have that helped you to understand how, why and what you needed to communicate to change behaviour or shift mindsets
The theme and messaging of your campaign needs to resonate with the insights you had from your audience types and reasons for the project. Explain what your theme was and how it links to the impact you wanted to create
Creativity knows no boundaries so show us how and what you used to disseminate out your campaign. Demonstrate the creative and design you developed , the content created and the channels used
We know measurement of campaigns can sometimes be a bit difficult in pharma. But ways to analyse impact are key to defining whether a project has achieved its objectives.
