Looking to pivot from agency or CRO into Pharma?
Are you working in an advertising, medical communications, PR agency or CRO?
Maybe you're fed up with agency life, the constant deadlines and sometimes feeling like you are a million miles away from the strategy or the patients? You are not alone! You may be thinking of moving in-house to a pharma company but have received rejections or maybe you don't know where to start? The Agency Advantage is here to help!
Turning your experience into your greatest asset!
While it may seem impossible to make the move into Pharma, I am here to tell you that your skills and knowledge are 100% transferable and provide a great foundation for Pharma, and I can provide you with the tools and insights into making this career pivot possible. I made the move myself nearly 10 years ago and I have interviewed people from across industry and in different functions and crystallised these insights into my eBook, online courses and various guides and templates.

About me
Hi I'm Sian, I am a Global Medical Director I started my career in agency around 20 years ago, first as a medical writer and later as an editorial director. I am also an introvert. I would say I don't fit the typical mould of a corporate/Pharma success story but that provides a unique opportunity as in my opinion, and I may be biased, agency experience provides a fantastic foundation for Pharma. I can write papers, I have an excellent knowledge of what is compliant and what isn't, through pitching I am used to coming up with creative ideas at pace. I have worked across therapy areas and I've had to upskill myself quickly. I have a broad skill set outside of medical communications from advanced video editing, social media planning and website building. I am also not alone, if you are here likely you have some of these skills and more.
