Consider this a “megapost” for any questions about pharma in lieu of making your own post — there’s been a lot of content around entering the healthcare advertising industry during the pandemic as open jobs begin to shift.
We’re here to help. 👍
If you get into pharma and decide it’s not for you, what should you do to get into general market? Especially if pharma is the only experience you have at an agency?
I’ve worked in consumer and pharma and it has served me well to show both in my book. I think a lot of CDs look for campaigns and how well you execute in various forms.
Hi👋🏻 I’m an AAE with experience on a retail brand, looking to make the jump to pharma... at my junior level, would agencies be willing to take the risk on my “transferable” experiences, even though I have no background in pharma? I just think it sounds interesting, I know the legal compliance element must be taxing but junior account management on a pharma account cant be that different from what I do (right)? Think anyone would be willing to take the risk, or am I trying to swim in the wrong pond?
Early career is the time to try new things!
Is pharma as recession proof as I keep hearing? My current agency has a lot of healthcare clients and although the work is slow in process it feels like it never ends. But we also mostly work on annual enrollment type campaigns. How is it on the other side? Did a lot of pharma agencies have layoffs during the pandemic? Will the election have a large affect in the industry?

Starting a media planner role in NY soon- is pharma a job or can it be a career ? What are possible opportunities outside of pharma marketing that I can leverage my skills ?
Is there a general percentage salary increase one can expect going from a consumer agency to a pharma agency? Some rule of thumb that an equivalent role would be paid x% more in pharma? Like the cost of living calculator...
