New York, NY (PRWEB) August 14, 2013 -- The finalists are in for the fifth-annual PM360 Trailblazer Awards. PM360, a leading health-marketing industry trade magazine, will honor the pharmaceutical industry’s most amazing innovators.

Established in 2009, the Trailblazer Awards are given to outstanding companies, marketers and brand managers representing top talent and brands.

With PM360’s 2013 Trailblazer Awards, we are honored to recognize the industry’s greatest achievements and the people and companies behind them

Post this

“We have an amazing talent pool this year of industry-wide innovative and creative marketers, companies and campaigns that have had an enormous impact on improving lives and driving healthcare forward,” says Anna Stashower, CEO and Publisher of PM360. “With PM360’s 2013 Trailblazer Awards, we are honored to recognize the industry’s greatest achievements and the people and companies behind them.”

This year more than 800 award applications were submitted. Award finalists, selected by the PM360 editorial board, represent the most forward-thinking leadership of their fields.

To reach the finalist phase, companies must show achievement in innovation, talent development, and social responsibility. Finalists are acknowledged and winners honored during a special reception at Gotham Hall at 1356 Broadway in New York City on September 20th, 2013. Tickets can be purchased by visiting http://www.pm360trailblazerawards.com/tickets/.

PM360 is also proud to announce that Dr. P. Roy Vagelos, the Retired Chairman of the Board and CEO of Merck and Current Chairman of the Board of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, is the 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient.
