Marketer of the Year - Overview

A chance to accelerate your career by developing your skills

Here's what Tim Jones, Global Marketing Director, Eisai Oncology Team, a Marketer of the Year winner, had to say:
I continuously urge colleagues across the industry to participate in PharmaTimes Marketer of the Year. Regardless of the individual placement result, the competition gives entrants an opportunity to experience case studies that reflect the industry today. The written submission and skills day provide good learnings that entrants can share with their company,  allowing a greater understanding of best practice techniques surrounding strategic planning and tactical implementation. The PharmaTimes Marketer of the Year are not just about a lavish awards evening and method of gaining a promotion - the competition is a great forum for discussing new ideas, and identifies our Pharmaceutical marketing leaders for the future!

And Nicholas Rodger, Marketing Manager - Commercial, Baxter Healthcare Ltd
I found the PharmaTimes Marketing competition a great leveller for experience and knowledge across the industry.  The Team event is a great way to pull people together and pit them against the leading personnel in other Pharma/Healthcare companies.  The Team event made such an impact on Baxter that we entered again the following year!  I certainly believe that having the kudos associated with PharmaTimes is helpful.  It shows you are able to complete other tasks, outside the day job, showcase your company and network with other Marketers.  In summary, a great day, very challenging and sometimes very taxing, but good experience and the awards night is not too bad either!

PharmaTimes Marketer of the Year competition offers you the chance to test your professional skills through a programme of competency based exercises devised and judged by a panel of senior industry marketing leaders and key stakeholders drawn from local and national health economies, to provide you with valuable personal development and career enhancement.
