In this episode of Adspeak by ADWEEK, host Jenny Rooney speaks with Jason White (Board Member at Caldera Arts), Lina Polimeni (SVP and CMO at Eli Lilly and Company), and Nita Danielle (Content Creator and Influencer) about how health brands can earn trust in a skeptical, consumer-driven world. The conversation explores why pharmaceutical marketing must move beyond clinical messaging toward authentic storytelling, cultural relevance, and human-centered brand building. 


The guests discuss how AI can support personalization and operational efficiency without sacrificing authenticity, and why brands should participate in unexpected cultural spaces like sports, fashion, and entertainment to make health conversations feel more natural. They also examine the growing role of creators in destigmatizing wellness topics through honest, relatable storytelling. Packed with insights on positioning, personalization, and purpose-driven branding, this episode offers a modern blueprint for building health brands that consumers genuinely connect with.
