John Cahill, McCann Health Global CEO said, "With Consulting at McCann Health, we add significant depth and breadth to our global strategic offering to provide clients with more innovative strategic counsel as they shift their approach from "creating new molecules" to "rewarding outcomes." This shift will present significant opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to operate more as brands that promote improved wellbeing throughout people's lives, rather than as companies that market specific products."
