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.

On the main stage, a compelling lineup of short films and motion graphics wove seamlessly through keynote and panel discussions that elevated the overall experience.

"As I look back on the PhRMA Forum event, I’m more confident than ever in the future of biopharmaceutical innovation."
Stephen Ubl President & CEO of PhRMA

Post-event strategy extended the conversation through repurposing content into social-first video campaigns and digital assets that sustained engagement and amplified policy priorities.

In parallel with the event, NJI also helped launch “This is Innovation,” a digital platform to carry the theme and narrative of the forum throughout 2025 and beyond.
