pfizerengaging stakeholders in the journey
our ongoing work for pfizer spans more than five years. during this time the company has transformed itself from a pharmaceutical company known for a few blockbuster drugs to the leading biopharmaceutical company involved in scientific innovation and the wellness and well-being of people around the world. our key role in the relationship is to understand and communicate this transformation through award-winning stakeholder communications.
2008 print annual review
doing things differently
Well into the company’s plan to remake itself, with a transformative acquisition on the horizon, Pfizer wanted to communicate the change underway in every part of the company—from the new business structure to its renewed focus and energy. To accomplish this communications imperative, IOP created the 2008 Annual Review: “Doing Things Differently.” Through an engaging story, vibrant photography and dynamic graphics, IOP communicated Pfizer’s progress in realigning the organization. The finished product was well received at Pfizer and with stakeholders. And the printed book was awarded a Gold in the International ARC Awards, among other industry honors.
2008 online annual review
doing things differently
For the first time, Pfizer wanted to design and develop their Annual Review online, in addition to print. So IOP translated the 2008 Annual Review: “Doing Things Differently” into an interactive experience. We added video and interactive elements, enriching the presentation of the information. The finished product was well received at Pfizer and with stakeholders. The site was awarded Silver in the International ARC Awards, Best in Show at the iNova Awards and Second Place from American Business Communicators, among other industry honors. See the site.
2009 print corporate responsibility report
doing the right things
With a transformative acquisition nearing completion, Pfizer wanted to communicate their priorities to all stakeholders: discovering and developing new medicines, improving access to medicines and partnering to find health system solutions. To help achieve these communications goals, IOP created the 2009 Corporate Responsibility Report: “Doing The Right Things.” Pairing evocative and vibrant photography with a dynamic story, IOP communicated Pfizer’s commitment to and progress on its goals. The Responsibility Report pairs in theme and style with the Annual Review—together these documents offer stakeholders a complete picture of Pfizer’s business.
The Responsibility Report was a success within the company and among external stakeholders. Jenny Flezzani, Manager of Corporate Responsibility, had this to say about IOP:
“We continue to work with Ideas On Purpose because they are a solution-oriented partner that always exceeds our expectations. This was our second Responsibility Report with IOP, and the process was seamless—the print and the online reports went very well. IOP gave us a smart and engaging design, listened to our needs and was a partner in report development—offering helpful suggestions, adapting to our changing needs and always met deadlines. And, everyone here loves the final product.”
