Xpectives.Health, the leading forum for direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising thought leaders, honors a dynamic group of pharmaceutical companies and brands at the much-anticipated DTC National Advertising Awards. The awards are a part of the annual DTC National Conference, on April 17-18; all events are a part of the Xpectives.Health Summit (April 16-18) in Boston.
Sponsored by Phreesia, the 2024 Advertising Awards showcase the best marketing and advertising across 17 categories. Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners were announced during the Advertising Awards ceremony held on April 18th.
“Phreesia is proud to sponsor DTC National and to present this year’s Advertising Awards,” said David Linetsky, SVP, Life Sciences. “Part of our commitment to making care easier every day is our belief that direct-to-consumer engagement can help support patients in taking a more active role in their care, enhance patient-provider dialogue and improve health outcomes. We commend this year’s finalists for their innovation and creativity and applaud their continued efforts to improve consumer engagement.”
