Over the years, Grammatica's teams have pioneered new digital marketing and consumer engagement models for clients including Pfizer, Humana, Merck, GSK, Johnson&Johnson and Gilead, among others. Notable industry firsts include the first social media effort and the first direct-to-consumer ecommerce sales in the pharmaceutical category.
Most recently, Grammatica launched My Elder Advocate, the first eldercare advocacy and care navigation franchise operation in the U.S. Under his leadership, My Elder Advocate partnered with hospitals and top geriatric care practices to improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital readmissions.
