This category is open to any agency/consultancy working in the healthcare sector, employing 20 or fewer full-time account personnel within the health team.
Emphasis should be placed on the consultancy achievements within the period covered by this year’s awards.
If your consultancy receives support from a larger parent/global agency, it is essential to ensure complete transparency. When writing your entry please indicate the extent to which additional resources are provided to you by a parent company or head office for example HR, Finance, IT, marketing and business development.
You must have entered at least one Healthcare Communications Awards category. You should highlight your entries for the year in your submission and include them within your supporting materials.
2024 PROCESS:
There will be two stages for this award in 2024
- Stage 1 will consist of a written entry, which should be completed using the criteria below. The written entry does not include any marks for an oral presentation, as this will be judged separately from the written presentation. The judges will review the written entries in Stage 1 and those teams whose written entries have been shortlisted will be invited to present to the judging panel during Stage 2.
- Stage 2 will consist of a live presentation to the judging panel, as previously for this category. This will take place on Friday 17 May 2024. Stage 1 scores will not be carried forward into Stage 2. The shortlisted team will be required to give a short presentation on their entry and will then be asked questions by the judges relating to their team performance. The judges will select the award winner based on this presentation, and the extent to which it supports and validates the original written entry. When planning your presentation, the judges will want to see a compelling story. Demonstrate how your agency optimises the use of tools available.
The organisers will send invitations by 3 May 20234, therefore it is advisable for up to four members of your team to hold the 19th May 2023 open. You may use slides or other materials in your presentation, which should last no longer than 10 minutes and enhance your entry. Full information on what will be required will be sent to you when notified by Friday 3 May. Following your presentation the judges will ask questions relating to your submission, business performance and the healthcare industry.
Suggestion from the judges: In order to best support your financial statements, bring along a member of your finance team.
