It’s time to welcome back MM+M’s live events for 2026.

On Wednesday evening, we’ll honor this year’s 40 Under 40 class at a dinner and ceremony in midtown Manhattan.

To help preview the festivities is 2026 MM+M 40 Under 40 honoree Shonel Morrison, head of media strategy at AstraZeneca.

With more than 14 years of medical marketing experience, Morrison had stints at Publicis Health Media and Digitas Health before being recruited to rewrite the media playbook at AstraZeneca.

In a conversation with Pharma Editor Lecia Bushak, Morrison discusses what receiving the honorific means to her and details her experience as a caregiver to her father, who lives with Alzheimer’s disease.

For Trends, we do some cleanup duty on the pharma ads that ran during Super Bowl LX. We talk about how they performed and spotlight some analyses from ad measurement firms.
