For over three decades, the PharmaTimes Marketer of the Year competition has been a cornerstone event, celebrating and discovering outstanding talent in pharmaceutical marketing. The competition serves as a premier platform, with marketers from all levels of experience able to highlight their innovative contributions and strategic insights within the industry.

The 2025 competition was a resounding success, with winners gaining recognition for their significant contributions to the field. The competition provides a stage to demonstrate the expertise, passion, and creativity that are crucial to the success of the pharmaceutical industry.

For the 2026 edition, we eagerly anticipate a diverse array of entries. With a process designed to be easy to enter for both teams and individuals, the competition offers far more than just a trophy. It actively helps develop skills and encourages peer-to-peer-learning, providing structured learning and valuable feedback throughout. This gives managers a unique opportunity to observe their talent in action, all within a structured, strategic and supportive simulated learning environment. Participants can expect to achieve industry-wide recognition, engage in networking with peers, and share their successes with a wide audience.

Each category is designed to challenge participants to demonstrate their marketing expertise, leadership, and commitment to advancing healthcare through effective marketing strategies. All finalists will benefit from expert feedback and mentoring, which will help validate their strategies, enhance their professional skills, and showcase their industry experience.

We invite entries and nominations from individuals and teams across the pharmaceutical marketing sector, and we encourage you to participate in this prestigious competition.
