Fingerpaint Group Achieves Six Nominations at the 2026 Manny Awards
In a remarkable display of success, Fingerpaint Group has been honored with six finalist nominations in various categories at the 2026 Manny Awards, organized by Med Ad News. This recognition not only highlights the group's significant growth but also its innovative approach to healthcare marketing.
Among the nominations, Fingerpaint Group has been named a finalist for both
Network of the Year and
Agents of Change. These accolades reflect the company’s commitment to integrating marketing, medical communications, and market access to better serve leading life sciences firms globally. Bill McEllen, the CEO of Fingerpaint Group, expressed pride in these achievements, stating, "These nominations are a direct reflection of a model built specifically for the modern complexities of the healthcare landscape. By removing the traditional barriers between disciplines, we’ve created a platform that delivers measurable impact from early-stage development to patient delivery."
The Power of Integration
Fingerpaint Group stands out in an industry that often functions with siloed brands. Their strong growth trajectory relies heavily on a
connected-by-design strategy, allowing them to operate as a cohesive unit rather than a disjointed assembly of brands. Currently, the company collaborates with six of the top ten pharmaceutical brands in the world, alongside partnerships with 95% of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies.
The nominations received encompass every key aspect of the Fingerpaint ecosystem:
- - Network of the Year – Fingerpaint Group
- - Agents of Change – Fingerpaint Group
- - MedComms Agency of the Year – Fingerpaint Medical
- - Market Access Agency of the Year – Fingerpaint Market Access
- - Best Consumer Digital Campaign – Fingerpaint Marketing
- - Best Professional Digital Campaign – Fingerpaint Marketing
Innovation Through Cultural Leadership
The company also placed emphasis on the
Agents of Change nomination, underscoring Fingerpaint Group's unwavering commitment to a diverse and people-centric culture. McEllen notes that diversity of thought is essential in driving business performance. This culture of empathy and radical collaboration has become a foundational element of Fingerpaint Group, ensuring that even as they expand, they retain the agility and heart of a niche partner.
“We’re building a stronger, more strategic agency,” McEllen added. “Smart use of technology, a connected team, and a commitment to our client partners across every part of the business are all essential. These nominations are a reflection of that.”
Looking Forward
The prestigious Manny Awards ceremony is set to take place on April 23, 2026, in New York City, where Fingerpaint Group will be eagerly competing for these well-deserved honors.
