Ogilvy’s official SMWNYC Hub events:

Mocial RX: Leveraging Mobile & Social in Healthcare

Health discussions have moved beyond a single screen and one-on-one exchanges. Mobile and social — what some call “Mocial” — is all about a new platform of on-the-go device and broader discussion. From geofencing to quantified self to the second screen, this lively exchange explores how “our networked life” influences behavior change, removes barriers, and adds value to connected communities. Featuring: Buddy Scalera, SVP, Interactive Content & Market Research, Ogilvy CommonHealth and Andrea Hackett, Account Supervisor, Digital Strategy, Social@Ogilvy.

Pharma & Social: Better Apart?
The social health space continues to rapidly evolve, pivoting to serve new needs and voices faster than most pharmaceutical companies are used to acting. Patients, caregivers, even doctors seem to do just fine taking advantage of existing forums to discuss their health concerns. Is there room in the social sphere for prescription drug brands? Mixed views and industry case studies fuel a provocative discussion on whether and how Pharma can truly add value to these already active conversations. Featuring: Chris Cullman, VP, Digital Strategy, Ogilvy CommonHealth; Scott Friedberg, Director, Digital Strategy, Ogilvy CommonHealth and Andrew Teie, Senior Digital Strategist, Ogilvy & Mather.
