Pegasus,
the UK’s leading independent health communications consultancy, has been
shortlisted for Excellence in Digital Communications at the PM Society Digital Media Awards
2014, for its digital work with Bausch + Lomb - one of the world's
largest suppliers of eye health products.
Recognising
the best in creativity, innovation and effectiveness across the industry, the
PM Society Digital Media Awards highlight the best programmes, tools and
campaigns across a broad range of digital marketing activities within the
healthcare arena.
The
Biotrue ONEday “Access All Areas” campaign was developed
to generate interest in Bausch + Lomb’s new contact lenses amongst top tier
customers in the UK and Republic of Ireland. For the first time ever, selected
customers were able to experience Bausch + Lomb’s innovation through a virtual
360° tour of the manufacturing facilities, interact with leading vision care
scientists and experts via interactive video segments, and pose questions to
professionals through a collaborative question and answer session via a gated
microsite. The campaign successfully reached out to an exclusively invited
group of Bausch + Lomb’s top-tier customers, whilst also offering sales
managers new and unique content to help build relationships with a broader
customer set.
Jo
Spadaccino, Director and Head of Pharma & Life Sciences at Pegasus,
commented: “We’re delighted to be shortlisted for the PM Society Digital Media Awards.
The success of our digital services offer has been a strategic and vital part
of the company’s growth in recent years, which has been further fuelled by our
recent office move to Brighton - now considered the “digital hub” of the UK. The
programme we delivered for Bausch + Lomb is a great example of how we are
embracing the latest technology, whilst always anchoring ideas to clear
strategic drivers which help our clients achieve their communications and
business goals.
2014
is proving to be a triumphant year for Pegasus; winning the Communique
‘Consultancy of the Year Award’; the AMEC ‘Best Use of a
Research Measurement and Evaluation Programme; CIPR Excellence ‘Best Healthcare
Campaign’, and the SABRE EMEA
‘Health Consultancy of the Year’
award. It also achieved 22nd place in The Sunday Times ‘100
Best Small Companies to Work For’.
