In 2009 the CLIO Healthcare Awards heralded a new era of world-class awards for this highly-regulated industry - enabling agencies to finally showcase their powerful creative campaigns within the context of the challenges we face. I am honored to have been once again asked to judge this year's awards, and even more excited to be chairing an extremely talented international judging committee to review the innovative digital work this industry has produced. Without a doubt, the CLIO Healthcare Awards are the "Oscars" for our Industry.
