DTC Perspectives, the leading forum for direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertising thought leaders, honored a dynamic group of pharmaceutical companies and brands at the much-anticipated DTC National Advertising Awards. The awards were part of the 18th Annual DTC National Conference held April 18-20 in Boston.

Sponsored by Health Monitor Network, the 2018 Advertising Awards showcased the best marketing and advertising across 22 categories, including two Delegate’s Choice categories. Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners were announced during the Advertising Awards Dinner held on April 19.

“The DTC National is exciting each year for us as a celebration of the creativity and effectiveness of DTC consumer promotion,” says Ken Freirich, President of Health Monitor Network. “As an entrepreneurial company celebrating our 35th anniversary, developing creative solutions to facilitate patient and HCP dialogue, we are pleased to sponsor the awards and to recognize the many successes in the marketplace.”
