John Pugh’s Summary

Social media thought leader with a passionate belief in using social media for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.

I have worked in the pharmaceutical industry for almost 7 years, most recently in Boehringer Ingelheim’s Corporate Head Offices in Ingelheim, Germany. Before this I worked at a start-up internet company organising and shaping the editorial team and as a journalist in Liverpool and then London..

My current passion is Twitter on which I have presented and been published in the media. Most recently I spoke at the EyeForPharma Digital Marketing Conference in Munich on Boehringer Ingelheim’s Twitter activities.

I am now working on harnessing multiple social media channels to develop an integrated communications approach and on Boehringeringer Ingelheim's YouTube channels.
