It’s official. The Pharma and Healthcare Social Media Wiki is one year old today. If you’re wondering what it looked like back in February of 2009, you can check out the Wiki Classic. You’ll see that there wasn’t much to it back then with just a handful of links and most categories completely missing any examples. Since then, the list has grown immensely thanks to your contributions. My how things change in a year. The growth of the Wiki certainly corresponds with the growth of social media in the industry and I hope that the Wiki made it easier for people to get their social media ideas approved by showing that others have tried and succeed (legally) in this space.
10 Sneaky Marketing Tactics You Need to Avoid
Every once and a while, I get approached to write an article for a non-healthcare publication. I like to do these because they help ensure that I don’t get too narrowly focused on healthcare and pharma and lose track of everything else out there in digital marketing. When iMedia Connection asked me to write an article about deceptive digital marketing tactics, I knew it was right up my alley.
The article was just published today as an “In Focus” article, which they do twice a week. That means you can see my mugshot right on the homepage of iMedia Connection if you head over there right now. If you missed it, here’s what you missed…not too exciting, I know.

After working on compliance challenges for my final two years at AstraZeneca before moving to my current job at Bridge Worldwide, I’d seen pretty much every tactic you could think of to improve compliance. So, this seemed like a natural place to start blogging. You can read my first post on this subject (from back in December 2008): “Glorified Alarm Clocks.”
