Wunderman Thompson Named Network of the Year in Bogotá, Colombia at Saniss Americas 2023

Wunderman Thompson LATAM is celebrating after being named Network of the Year at the Saniss Awards, as well as taking home nine top awards, including two Grands Prix. The ceremony took place at the Grand Hyatt Bogotá in June and was attended by key people from the advertising industry across Latin America and Europe. 

The Saniss Awards is a festival that amplifies specialised health communications across the region, recognising and rewarding outstanding achievements. The event brought together leading professionals and experts in the sector, providing a space for exchanging ideas, knowledge and business opportunities. 

At the event, Francisco Montoya, general director for Wunderman Thompson Health in LATAM, lent his insight in a talk called ‘Behaviours and trends that reconfigure Pharmarketing’, which covered the insights, contexts, and expectations of patients and doctors.

Speaking about the Sannis Awards, Francisco commented, "Giving visibility to specialised health communications both in Latin America and in Europe through Saniss allows us to show the efforts of an industry that has great challenges and possibilities. It is an opportunity to appreciate another side of creativity, like its application in technologies and digital developments in a crucially important sector.”

In addition to celebrating and recognising outstanding achievements, the event was an opportunity to network and engage in rich conversations. Francisco pointed out, “Although it is an event to reward the best work, it is also a forum to meet colleagues and clients at the very top of their game, which is incredibly motivating. Meeting so many wonderful people and seeing our campaigns recognised on a stage like this has undoubtedly inspired us to take our work to the next level.”
