Double win at Communiqué 2016: Pegasus scoops awards for Consultancy of the Year (for the second time!) and Excellence in Media Relations
Pegasus, an Ashfield company, part of UDG Healthcare plc, is delighted to
have won the prestigious Consultancy of the Year award at the 2016 Communiqué
Awards in London. The judges commented, “their genuinely integrated offer,
built around the strengths of their people and winning combination of style and
substance, meant that they really stood out to the judges as a worthy winner.” Pegasus
first picked up the coveted award in 2014, and have also been finalists every
year since 2013.On Pegasus’ recent win, the Communiqué judges said, “The Pegasus 'Health first, sector second' ethos led them to a truly outstanding performance in 2015. They implemented a clear business strategy focused around simple commercial drivers, which delivered impressive growth.”
Jo Spadaccino, Director and Head of Pharma & Life Sciences at Pegasus, commented: “Winning Communications Consultancy of the Year for the second time is an achievement held by only a handful of consultancies. To be deemed the ‘worthy winner’ by the Communiqué judges, who singled out our 'genuinely integrated' offering for particular praise makes me immensely proud of how far we have come as an agency.”
Consultancy of the Year was one of two trophies awarded to Pegasus at the 2016 ceremony, as the company also picked up the award for Excellence in Media Relations for its work with LloydsPharmacy on the Sex Degrees of Separation campaign. Launched during Sexual Health Week, the media campaign was centred on its online tool that calculated the number of indirect sexual partners a person has had. On a modest budget, and as a direct impact of the campaign, more than 1,200 people took up the service’s STI assessments and organic sales of sexual health products doubled.
Regarding the win, Jo continued: “The Sex Degrees of Separation campaign is a perfect example of our ‘inspiring healthy decisions’ mission, in this case harnessing the power of earned media to deliver a creative campaign that had genuine impact, impressing our clients and the judges alike.”
Among Pegasus’s most recent wins in 2016, it has scooped the prestigious EMEA Healthcare PR Consultancy of the Year at the Sabre Awards, as well three awards at the PM Society Digital Media Awards 2016, including gold for the highly acclaimed Craft: Best Innovation award, and two silvers for the Effectiveness: Digital projects within healthcare partnerships award and the Craft: Film award.

- Personalized Oncology: Calling for a New Kind of Partnership:
- In the 1990s, biomarkers were the future of personalized medicine and a “lab on a chip” was the holy grail of understanding patient health. As much as past predictions of whole organ transplants and intra-body cameras have been realized, the notion of using measuring an array of protein to better understand a patient’s individual health, current and future, has still eluded us. But maybe for not much longer.
