Merckâs Conrod Kelly on leaning into cultural moments in pharma (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Merck is the latest pharma company to seek to expand beyond traditional campaign messaging and insert itself into cultural moments. The company has launched a new educational initiative, “Your Hive of Whole Health,” that brings together personalized networks of people living with HIV who can help support their holistic health — whether it’s physical, mental, emotional or social. The campaign rolled out shortly before the new reboot of A Different World, featuring actress and HIV activist Debbie
How pharma marketers are thinking about trust in 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trust in the pharma industry has been steadily declining among consumers, regardless of political affiliation. A 2023 study found that 60% of people at high risk for cardiovascular disease didn’t trust pharma manufacturers, and lack of trust was higher among people in poor health or without a regular source of care.

She notes she no longer attempts to make predictions about the industry’s future given the fast pace of change; but
Armed with llamas, AstraZeneca launches first fully AI-generated ad for Breztri (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The future in which pharma brands make fully AI-generated ads has arrived. AstraZeneca recently launched several AI-generated TV ads for its asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) drug Breztri featuring a play on words. The Llamas at Work campaign depicts llamas on the job at the office or as delivery drivers, playing on the mechanism underlying Breztri — known as LAMAS, or long-acting muscarinic antagonist. It’s a first for the brand, but not the drugmaker. AstraZeneca has toye
