Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
Creative Imagery in Advertising - Advisory Posted!
-
It’s Friday @Agency @Manufacturer and PAAB wants to send you into the weekend with some exciting news: The NEW Creative Imagery in Advertising Advisory is NOW live!
After months of insightful and collaborative discussions, we’re excited to finally announce PAAB’s new advisory on the use of creative imagery in pharmaceutical advertising. Industry has asked for clarity, and we hope this document provides that clarity you’ve been waiting for, or at the very least, provides a stronger framework to evaluate creative ideas with your teams.
Note that this is not the finish line. This is a starting point to continue to grow and evolve with the ever-changing landscape, to meet the needs of healthcare professionals and patients.
We’d like to extend our gratitude to all the industry members of the Creative Committee who took time to share challenges, discuss the advertising landscape, listen to the regulatory concerns and work collaboratively with PAAB to refine the creative imagery discussion.
Special thanks to Mike Spelay (bMod), Andy Leeson (Wellworth and Best), and Konstantine Polanski (Point05 Health), for driving the revisions from the first draft document and creating meaningful examples. Thank you to the bMod team for generating creatives to help capture the principles outlined throughout the document.
We look forward to implementing these new approaches with you and continuing the conversations.
