As Blood Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, we're reflecting on the work we've been honored to do in partnership with an array of clients who are working toward a future beyond blood cancer. Training teams on these conditions involves visualizing and explaining rapid change over time, and understanding precision treatments. The last decade has brought about promising breakthroughs, and we are inspired by every project in this space.

Every winning performance was born in practice. "By launch, the team needs to be able to read the moment, adapt to the HCP in front of them, pull forward the right (and relevant!) evidence, navigate objections, and keep the conversation moving. That level of readiness isn’t possible through presentations and self-study alone."

Jen is back this month with a new Expert Insights blog on building durable launch readiness. Check it out!

Discover how structured launch workshops enhance sales team readiness, bridging knowledge gaps and ensuring effective product launches in the field.

As we join in National Immunization Awareness Month (NIAM), what better way to highlight the importance of vaccination for people of all ages, than to illustrate the history and impact of vaccines? Not only is it fascinating to see how far back this history reaches, but it is impressive to see the number of lives saved visualized. Thanks to our team of skilled illustrators and our experts on the science for helping us build this client-quality piece!

We’re humbled have been involved in some of this history of impact through our work related to pneumococcal pneumonia, foundation training on vaccines in retail pharmacies, Introduction to Vaccines and Introduction to the Vaccine Marketplace materials for client’s COVID-19 learning systems, and working on a COVID-19 launch itself.

The future of saving even more millions of lives is brighter with continued research, awareness, and action.
