InterbrandHealth Report Reveals Top Biopharma Brands Posted on March 30, 2016December 14, 2020 by Revanth Ravish Pfizer and the Roche Group claim the #1 and #2 positions for leading the way in redefining their value to HCPs NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– A global study released today by InterbrandHealth identifies the biopharma companies that are addressing healthcare professionals’ (HCPs), payers’, and policymakers’ needs. A commitment to brand is a promise to address healthcare challenges and meet the needs of these healthcare professionals. The study examines what value means to HCPs and illustrates the influence the corporate brand has in conveying that value. It reveals how leading companies are beginning to deliver on what matters to HCPs. Looking to the future, healthcare professionals desire a commitment to innovative healthcare solutions that go “beyond the pill.” As a result, leading biopharma companies are adapting their business models, increasing transparency, exploring nontraditional solutions in areas like digital therapies, and ramping up their corporate citizenship activities. “Biopharma is at a pivotal moment, and the time for change is now,” said Jane Parker, InterbrandHealth’s CEO. Dr. Ronnie Hershman, a cardiologist affiliated with NYU Langone Long Island Cardiac Care and the CEO of HealthEffect, LLC, noted, “The biopharma industry has relied on blockbuster drugs for a long time, but healthcare is changing, and what physicians need has changed. Biopharma companies need to shift and think about what else they can offer.” Best Pharma Brands ranks these leading companies by qualifying the industry’s definition of value through brand, then quantifying the corporate brand’s contribution to business performance. The ranking identifies the 10 most valuable biopharma brands. In total, these 10 brands represent approximately USD $129 billion in brand value. Pfizer and the Roche Group secure the #1 and #2 positions on the ranking. Best Pharma Brands Ranking *The ranking and brand value for each organization is outlined below Pfizer (USD $19.985 billion)Roche Group (USD $15.479 billion)Merck & Co., Inc., Kenilworth, N.J., U.S.A. (USD $13.880 billion) [Note: MSD outside of the United States & Canada]Janssen: Pharmaceutical Companies of Johnson & Johnson (USD $13.866 billion)Novartis (USD $13.496 billion)Amgen (USD $13.461 billion)Gilead Sciences (USD $13.361 billion)Novo Nordisk (USD $10.206 billion)AstraZeneca (USD $8.123 billion)GSK (USD $6.778 billion) Best Pharma Brands also sets an important industry benchmark by highlighting the need for biopharma companies to change how they interact with the market and meet the needs of the healthcare community. Parker commented that “these 10 biopharma brands are embracing a strategy that is somewhat new to the health and life sciences sector: they are effectively leveraging their corporate brands and, in doing so, they are growing their businesses, fueling innovation, and developing meaningful solutions for patients on a global scale.” Best Pharma Brands is powered by global research data, feedback from HCPs, and data-driven insights. The underlying methodology mirrors Interbrand’s Best Global Brands, which demonstrates that strong brands can withstand market volatility and are more likely to outperform key financial indices like the S&P 500. To be considered, biopharma brands must have a global presence, generate revenue from the sale of prescription medicines, report the ratio of revenues generated from sales of prescription medicines, possess a strong pipeline of potential future prescription medicines, have awareness among HCPs, and serve as the primary external-facing manufacturer brand.

Omnicom Announces it has Exceeded the IPA Women in Senior Management Target of 40% Ahead of 2020 Goal Posted on March 7, 2016December 14, 2020 by Revanth Ravish LONDON, 8 March 2016 – Omnicom Group (NYSE: OMC), a global leader in advertising and marketing communications, today announced that almost 80% of Omnicom UK’s management teams comprise 40% women or more, ahead of IPA’s 2020 goal. These figures are released today, on International Women’s Day, to coincide with the Second Annual Omniwomen UK Leadership Summit; a day-long training programme designed to inspire 200 of Omnicom’s rising female stars across its UK companies. The summit, held at Bankside, London, focuses on further increasing the influence and number of women leaders across the network. Sam Phillips, Chief Marketing Officer, Omnicom Media Group, UK & Managing Director, OMG Ethnic (UK) said: “Omniwomen is designed to increase the influence and number of women leaders throughout the Omnicom network, creating a strong, diverse and effective leadership for the industry’s future. Using our global reach, Omnicom has gathered talented women from both inside and outside of the group to share their candid advice about how they built their successful careers. Attendees will be able to share their experiences, reflecting on where they are, where they want to be and how they get there.” Paul Bainsfair, IPA Director General commented: “Having a diverse, representative workforce with equal opportunities for all is crucial for our industry to thrive. Which is why the IPA’s diversity targets, set out by President Tom Knox, are so vital. For Omnicom UK to have already achieved 40% female representation in almost 80% of its management teams is a fantastic achievement. This will no doubt help future-proof their success and that of the wider industry.” Ahead of the Summit, research carried out by Flamingo shed some light on some of the potential challenges in getting women into leadership positions across the industry. It revealed that some women are rejecting the traditional upward trajectory in favour of a more ‘curvy career path’, which allows them to broaden their skill set, in turn, making them more competent and confident leaders. It also shows that a new model for leadership is emerging that revolves around creating the right conditions for individuals to thrive: making women feel supported to grow and get things wrong and learn from their mistakes. These are some of the themes that will be explored during the day, alongside panel sessions on ‘Speaking Up and Speaking Out’ and ‘Leadership from around the World.’ Breakout discussions will examine ‘The Body Language of Leadership,’ ‘Cracking Confidence,’ and ‘Taking Commercial Control.’ Today’s event will also bring together men and women from C-suite executives to academics, campaigners and psychologists, offering Omnicom UK’s female leaders a great forum in which to meet, share and learn. One of the speakers at the Omniwomen Leadership Summit is Brie Rogers Lowery, Deputy Managing Director Europe and UK Managing Director, Change.org. She said: “Empowering people to start, join and win campaigns is in Change.org’s DNA and it will be great to discuss how the internet can put women’s voices at the centre of our politics at the Omniwomen Leadership Summit. Smart businesses like Omnicom know that the sky’s the limit for companies which support their women to lead.” Janet Riccio, Executive Vice President, Omnicom Group, added; “The bottom line is that striving for a diverse and inclusive leadership team in today’s world where the competition for talent is fiercer then ever, is a business imperative. Our agencies need qualified women more than ever to win.” In addition to the training programme, Omniwomen aims to raise £20,000 for Smart Works, a charity set up to provide high quality interview clothes, styling advice andinterview training to out-of-work women on low incomes. Co-hosted by Philippa Brown, CEO of Omnicom Media Group UK and Sam Phillips, Chief Marketing Officer, Omnicom Media Group, UK & Managing Director, OMG Ethnic (UK), the Omniwomen UK Summit includes a line-up of inspirational speakers, including: Dame Carolyn McCall, CEO, easyJetProfessor Luis Huete, IESE Business School and Omnicom UniversityLindsey Clay, CEO of Thinkbox and President of WACL (Women in Advertising and Communications London)Caroline Criado-Perez, feminist campaigner and journalistHayley Mills, OMD International and Black Women in MediaBrie Rogers Lowery, Deputy MD, Europe and UK MD, Change.orgMaria Gigante, Events Director, NFLAmanda Rendle, Former Global Head of Corporate Marketing, HSBC Elin Haf Davies, AdventurerJanet Riccio, Executive Vice President, Omnicom and Head of OmniwomenCilla Snowball CBE, Group Chairman and Group Chief Executive of AMV BBDOGabrielle Moss, MD, ProximityDaren Rubins, CEO, PHDAli MacCallum, CEO, M2MMaggie Collier and Kirsty Fuller, Joint CEOs, FlamingoEmma Sergeant, President, DAS EMEA Omniwomen UK Committee Members Adam & Eve DDB Ketchum AMV BBDOM2MBeanstalkOmnicomChameleonOMD UKDAS UKOMD EMEAFleishmanHillard FishburnOmnicom Media Group UK FlamingoPorter NovelliFuseProximityGMR MarketingRAPP/HaygarthHall & PartnersRedwoodInteger TBWAWolff Olins About Omniwomen The mission of Omniwomen is to serve as the catalyst for increasing the influence and number of women leaders throughout the Omnicom network.

BBDO Is The Most Strategic Agency Network In The World For The Third Year In A Row According To The Warc 100 Rankings Posted on March 1, 2016December 14, 2020 by Revanth Ravish Completes the Agency Triple Crown – Most Strategic, Most Creative and Most Effective Network in the World NEW YORK, MARCH 1, 2016 – For the third year in a row, BBDO was the most strategic agency network in the world in the Warc 100. The annual Warc 100 tracks the rankings of campaigns, based on their performance in 79 effectiveness and strategy competitions over the past year. It’s intended to reflect the business impact of a campaign rather than just its creativity. Thirteen of the top 100 most effective campaigns of the year were created by nine BBDO agencies, more than any other agency network. Two BBDO agencies were ranked among the top ten individual shops – AMV BBDO in the UK (#5) and Clemenger BBDO Melbourne in Australia (#9). Said Andrew Robertson, President and CEO, BBDO Worldwide, “BBDO is all about “The Work. The Work. The Work.” Great work that works great for our clients.
