Awarding Excellence in Social Media Marketing Leadership

Comments about Colin from people who have nominated him:
- "Colin drove the Social Media initiatives at Novartis Pharmaceuticals, knew who to get hold of, knew how to talk to them, and raised Senior Management's awareness as to why Social Media should be viewed as a key ongoing and needed core competency for Novartis to succeed as a pharmaceutical company."

NOTE: Every nominee for the Pharmaguy Social Media Pioneer Award is a winner and deserves recognition. But only 3 individuals (or groups of individuals who have pioneered as a team) will be awarded the coveted Hawaiian shirt. This is NOT a popularity contest. "Winners" will be chosen solely by Pharmaguy (me) based on my evaluation of merit. Your votes, however, will also count to influence my decision. Mostly, however, I need your comments about the people you nominate so that I can profile each and every nominee in recognition of his or her pioneering effort.
