This week’s Digital Health Observer looks at where health marketing attention is landing. Lilly and Novo Nordisk have come out as the most cited pharma brands in AI-generated health answers, Mosh has paired former AFL player Mitch Brown with a puppet to talk about male hair loss, and period-tracking app Clue is leaning into what it calls ‘radical human marketing’. Plus Oura’s CMO on empathetic advertising and sports sponsorship, and MM+M’s pick of five Rare Disease Month campaigns using humour and emotional storytelling to reach small patient populations.
