Williamsburg, VA, August 20, 2019 —PM360, a publication for marketing decision makers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, diagnostics, and medical device industries, recently named Brenda Snow, Founder & CEO of Snow Companies, as the recipient of the 2019 Trailblazer Lifetime Achievement Award.
Grown out of Brenda’s own experience as a patient with multiple sclerosis, her company today employs more than 350 staff. The agency helped launch several blockbuster brands and also built a leadership position in the rare disease and oncology niche. It is part of Omnicom Health Group, the healthcare marketing collective within Omnicom Group Inc. (NYSE: OMC).
“It is extremely humbling to see that patient focus is no longer just my priority but everyone’s priority,” said Brenda Snow. “I am grateful for the recognition which I see as a patient victory.”
Since 2009, the PM360 Trailblazer awards have recognized outstanding achievement and innovation in healthcare marketing. Each year, nominations are judged by the PM360 Editorial Advisory Board, a distinguished cross-section of industry experts. TheLifetime Achievement Award recognizes an industry veteran who has transformed the business through leadership, wide-ranging influence, and original contributions.
“Brenda pioneered patient engagement long before the industry started talking about patient centricity,” says Anna Stashower, CEO and Publisher of PM360. “Throughout her career she has worked to get industry marketers to rethink how to communicate with—not to—patients. She helps clients to adopt her agency’s signature patient-centric storytelling techniques and Patient Ambassadors to ensure the industry is connecting with patients in an authentic way.”
Brenda will be honored during a special reception at Gotham Hall at 1356 Broadway in New York City on Thursday, September 19, 2019.
