Launch of a new report: Cannes or Canned?
Cannes or Canned? is an initiative to increase creativity and innovation in healthcare and scientific communications. Its mission was to answer two questions: what is holding back creativity and innovation in healthcare communications, and what can we do to open up its potential? Led by a working group of senior UK and international pharma industry communications leaders, five recommendations for opening up creativity and innovation in healthcare and scientific communications have been made and this will be the first time they are publicly shared and discussed.
Join members of our working group and some of the leading innovators from outside our sector who contributed to the thinking, to discuss what is needed to open the can of creativity and innovation and what we can all do next. Also be the first to receive a copy of this insightful report.
