Background

NJI partnered with PhRMA to bring their inaugural event to life. Over 500 industry leaders, government officials, policymakers, advocacy groups, and media gathered at the PhRMA Forum to tackle critical health care challenges and drive meaningful policy engagement.

The event–featuring speakers such as Mark Cuban, Tiki Barber, and Max Jaderberg– solidified PhRMA’s thought leadership, elevated its voice, and positioned the organization as a driving force in health care and innovation policy. An exclusive media partnership with CNBC further elevated PhRMA’s message on a national scale.

Strategy

NJI led end-to-end strategy, creative execution, event production, and post-event amplification to bring PhRMA’s vision to life, transforming the Forum into an immersive experience that showcased the power of innovation, advocacy, and smart policy implementation.

We designed a dynamic visual identity—spanning branding, main stage visuals, and motion graphics—brought to life through interactive exhibits that highlighted industry milestones and cutting-edge research. Animated installations celebrated 25 years of medical breakthroughs, and brought advocate voices to life.
