Introducing Katie Dean as head judge of the PM Society Awards 2025! Katie is an SVP Creative Director at 21Grams and we are delighted to have her on board. "I’m honoured to step into the role of head judge for this year’s PM Society Awards. These awards aren’t just about celebrating creativity—they’re about spotlighting the ideas that push boundaries, challenge the norm, and leave a lasting mark. We’re not here to be ‘good for healthcare’; we’re here to be outstanding, full stop. I’m excited to discover work that redefines what’s possible in healthcare storytelling—work that doesn’t just inform people about health issues but actively drives change, impacts lives, and reshapes the future of care. With the extraordinary talent out there, I know this year’s entries will surprise, inspire, and set new standards. I can’t wait to dive in and witness the brilliance coming our way!"
