Unlimited wins at Communiqué Awards

The Richmond-based agencies picked up three trophies at the 2016 Communiqué Awards, which recognise and commend excellence and best practice in local, European and international healthcare communications.  

Health Unlimited and Novartis Pharmaceutical’s COPD Crowdshaped: Advancing ideation in the pharmaceutical sector was recognised twice by the judges, winning both the award for Excellence in Communications via a Live Event or Stand-Alone Activity and the award for Innovation in Healthcare Communications.  

Commenting, the judges recognised “An inspiring piece of work that we would have loved to have been involved with. It showed exceptional stakeholder engagement and threw out the rule book to produce a creative and innovative conversation that thought leaders wanted to be part of. It was big, bold and brave and has already provided some really tangible outcomes that are clearly already benefiting patients.” Other comments received noted “This was a refreshing and ambitious entry that brings pharma to the forefront of value. We saw new thinking and felt it broke new ground; working with non-traditional partners, outcomes were achieved and the sheer volume and depth of ideas was amazing.”  

Liberation Unlimited together with Bayer plc won the award for Excellence in Corporate Communications – External Stakeholders for their Bayer Ophthalmology Honours programme which recognises and showcases the very best ophthalmology care in the UK and was launched in 2015 to demonstrate leadership and commitment to ophthalmology through better engagement and partnership across all ophthalmology stakeholders.

Commenting on this work the judges acknowledged “Bayer effectively engaged with a wide range of the stakeholder community, including patient groups. “This simple programme has real potential to bring about lasting changes to patient care.”  

Also successful at the 2016 awards was Rock Unlimited, the agency were highly commended by the judges in the Medical Education Consultancy of the Year category who commented “Tight operational excellence, coupled with its innovative and nimble approach made for a great first-time performance for Rock Unlimited and bodes well for the consultancy as a big player in the future. The single-mindedness, wonderful enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit were particularly impressive, as was its growth story. Without a doubt this team is one to watch.”  

These Communiqué Awards accolades follow DJM PAN Unlimited’s work being honoured last month at the global Cannes Festival celebrating creativity in healthcare. The Bad Barista campaign for Teva UK picked up both a silver Lion for Scriptwriting and a bronze award for Cinematography in the Film Craft Pharma Lions.  

Nicky Walsby, Executive Director of Health Unlimited says: “To be so broadly recognised by peers and industry leaders as a group of agencies conceiving and delivering ground-breaking campaigns that throw out the rule book and truly make a difference to people’s health day to day is both humbling and motivational to our brilliant teams.”
