Aspiring Biopharma Communicators
Last summer, I started noticing something interesting about some of the requests we were receiving to join our Ticket to Biotech community.
Certainly, T2B is for industry comms practitioners who are veterans or already well on their way to becoming comms pros.
But in addition, there were folks who fell under two other broad categories that were asking to join us:
The first includes communicators in life science-adjacent industries.
These include tech, healthcare, maybe other consumer industries focused on helping people.
And the second includes biopharma industry executives who probably will never have “communications” in their titles.
At first, to be completely honest, I wasn’t sure if we should, in a sense, broaden the scope of who’s welcome to officially join the community.
I wondered if this would somehow dilute the power of our tribe.
And then I thought again and realized that, actually, both of these groups were already eligible to join us!
Why? Because these folks are all aspiring biopharma communicators!
They all have an interest in and a passion for what we do in our profession.
So, if we can create more awareness about the importance of our role more broadly in healthcare storytelling, that’s truly the highest measure of impact our community can have.
