After the AI Hype: Rebuilding the Pharma Client–Agency Operating Model

  • What’s breaking and what’s worth protecting: why “hours + assets” is collapsing under in-house AI, consolidation and procurement logic, and how to avoid the race-to-the-bottom trap.
  • Inside the client firewall: how secure LLMs/copilots are already reshaping asset ownership, accountability and risk and where agencies still earn their keep as a governance + quality creators.
  • Hear where value is moving next: from making stuff to designing the system, hear how clear swimlanes, shared guardrails, and an outcomes-first collaboration model can lead to improved HCP/patient impact - not just increased throughput.

Outcome: Leave with a practical proposal for redrawn client-agency swimlanes, with a clear view on what to strip out and what to protect.
