Palin and clients in finals of key health awards

Palin and clients in finals of key health awards

We’re looking forward to the Health Industry Hub awards night on Wednesday 16th October with Palin Communications and its clients well represented.  

Palin client and amazing not-for-profit agency Hearts4Heart is up for two gongs. One is in the “Advocacy Champion” for Professor Dion Stub and the other in the “NGO of the Year” category.  

The Palin team’s fearless leader Karina Durham is a finalist in the “PR/Creative Agency Individual of the Year” category and the agency itself is up against some tough competition as a finalist in the “PR/Creative Agency Team of the Year”. 

Whichever way it goes we’re pretty sure the combined Palin Communications and H4H table will be enjoying themselves at the awards ceremony (as we did last year!).

Palin Communications is also in the finals of the 2024 PRIME Awards in the Best PR Category for the PR strategy around the launch of GSK’s shingles vaccine in Australia.

What do Australian pharmaceutical companies really want from their communications partners? Do they want their agencies to be versed in AI and rich in cool tech tools? Or do they want strategic guidance, reliable service and industry knowledge?As the founder of an agency that specialises in health PR, the question of what pharmaceutical clients really want is one that has kept me awake on many a restless night.I’ve slept a bit better to be honest
