CrowdPharm has strong ties to the Eller family. The company’s Partners Mike Myers and Steve Bernstein are both Eller College of Management alumni.  Myers is also Managing Director for CrowdPharm and University of Arizona Eller College of Management board member. 

“To say we’re excited would be an understatement,” Myers said of the recognition in a statement on the agency’s website. “We’re truly overwhelmed with appreciation for our team, who are the people who won this award, our clients for giving us the privilege to support them, their brands, and the patients they serve, and Med Ad News for recognizing us!” 

According to Med Ad News, the Manny Awards celebrate excellence in creativity surrounding the marketing of health and wellness. Nominees for Med Ad News’ Agency of the Year are judged on their creative track record, management strength, financial performance, strategic thinking, account wins and losses and ability to attract talent.

An independent full-service agency led by industry veterans, CrowdPharm is enabled by innovative technology to deliver an abundance of original strategic and creative solutions and provide a flexible talent force with experience that spans startups, orphan products, blockbusters and primary care.

“We are extremely proud of our alumi Mike Myers and Steve Bernstein and are proud to call them family,” says Karthik Kannan, dean of the University of Arizona Eller College of Management. “It is our goal at Eller to provide our students with the tools and resources to make a difference in the world and it is clear that Myers and Bernstein are already doing so.”

Though a fairly young company, CrowdPharm has more than 6,800 members across more than 120 countries and is continuing to grow. In April 2023, CrowdPharm announced its expansion into the Asia-Pacific region through an alliance with WeTheBrand. Appointing Heng Aw as regional director of the joint brand identity CrowdPharm Asia Pacific, the two companies intend to use their business relationship to increase marketing and advertising value for their customers and stakeholders in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry.
