An Award for Dose of Digital…Thanks

If you’re looking for a ton of social media insight or for the latest trends in digital technology in healthcare, today’s post isn’t going to cover much of that.

When you last left this blog, I outlined some of the big issues facing pharma marketing and provided a pretty striking example of how the lack of trust in pharma by many in the general public manifests itself.
