Pharma’s Almanac Most Impactful Thought Leadership of 2018

2018 YEAR IN REVIEW

As we look forward to another year of illuminating Thought Leadership content at Pharma’s Almanac, we wanted to reflect on 2018 and highlight a selection of articles and authors that had the greatest measurable impact on our readers. We strive to publish the most thought-provoking, original content on diverse topics that are challenging and changing the pharmaceutical industry, particularly showcasing supporting outsourcing providers. 

Through our Analytics suite available on PharmasAlmanac.com, we are able to capture data on the traffic through our content portal. This includes the articles, companies, contributors and topics that have received the most views among our audience of industry professionals. 

Here, we present some of this digital data analysis for readers of our print magazine, showcasing the most-read articles across the entire pharmaceutical supply chain (from CDMOs, CROs, excipients, equipment and logistics), as well as specific industry segments and specialty topics of interest.

Among our own content authored by members of the Nice Insight team, we had the greatest impact with the three-part features from our first and second quarter issues of Pharma’s Almanac, which explored mergers and acquisitions activity and next-generation biologics therapies, respectively.

Additionally, we are highlighting the companies and individual contributors who have generated the most interactions on our site over the last year, as well as the trending topics that have made the greatest overall impressions in the first quarter of 2019. 

We are proud to have had the privilege of developing and publishing such a diversity of insightful Thought Leadership content covering subjects of the highest value to our readers throughout pharma and supporting industries, and we are enthusiastic about the opportunity to continue to support our community as the industry continues to evolve in 2019 and beyond.
